One of the main “attractions” of the island that you need regarded more as entertainment for children on Samui, but not for adults. Both are called Aquarium & Tiger Zoo, located on the same territory, and even located in one indoors. I would consider them exactly as an attraction, but definitely not as a landmark.
I would not say that this institution is “out of the ordinary”, especially considering the slightly inadequate admission fee. But if you don’t mind parting with money for the sake of being able to see on animals locked up, then within a small island, where with children’s entertainment, in principle, not a lot, Aquarium and Tigrin Samui Zoo is the only place in this format.

Aquarium and Tiger Zoo
Personally, I didn’t like it there at all, and I’m not afraid to repeat it – I believe that the price of tickets is greatly overpriced. At least times two from the amount you are psychologically ready to hear and give away. Opinion is born not only on the emotions of visiting, but and in comparison with its past experience of visits to similar Facilities: Khao Kheo Zoo in Pattaya and Siam Ocean Aquarium World in Bangkok. Okay, there Bangkok is the capital, and so on. But even in Pattaya, the price is much lower, despite the fact that in comparison with Khao Kheo, Samui zoo was not around, did not sit and did not roll. I guess I will say even more – AquaZoo on Samui, this is some kind of parody on aquarium and zoo.
Saying that this is the only institution in this format, I was not quite accurate. Samui has a Paradise contact zoo Farm, and I must give him his due – he is much nicer perceived and does not cause such rejection, despite there are dead deer (although I think this is the only way for me lucky). However, if you exhale, you realize that the scale Samui is naive to expect something grand, because everything is attractions are simple, not stunning and frankly – mediocre, like this zoo. For serious impressions need to go to the mainland. Remember this and do not expect anything special.
I arrived one hour before the zoo closed, when the whole show was already are over. Ticket politely, but not persistently offered me come tomorrow to get a full set of pleasures, but I did not think long and stayed. Then I sold a ticket with a decent discount – for 400 baht and put a stamp on the hand, from which I made the conclusion that a late visit can reduce the cost of going to AquaZuu, Features, if you do not need the show, but just curious see what is inside the good. I did not see the show itself, but I am sure that it is probably not necessary for adults, but for children you could probably show.
Aquarium and Tiger Zoo
Inside, everything is planned so that you move along the corridor, which runs along the street along the cells or indoors along the aquarium, and the entire route contains no dead ends or repetitions. The whole inspection will take half an hour from strength, and if you linger at each place for a minute or two, you can stretch the visit to hour. Watch, in my opinion, especially there is nothing. Some glass Aquariums turned out to be quite muddy, it was hard to see through them inhabitants, and the very first aquarium was generally so empty – agree, this from the first steps creates not the most positive mood.
I was even upset at first that I was deceived with my expectations, but later I passed through the building of the aquarium three more times (so the route is made), and each time it became more interesting: more fish, some shark swam, stingrays met, and lived in small separate aquariums small, and not quite ordinary turtles with long necks. These i well remembered since visiting the aquarium in Bangkok. there is open aquarium where you can feed the fish, and then visitors sell feed at 20 baht – by the way the standard price for a bag fish bait on almost all tourist reservoirs of the island.
Animals at the zoo are all seated in street cages: several bird species, leopards, lions, tigers, two species of monkeys. By the ratio land and sea representatives, this place is still more pulls on the aquarium than on the zoo. And certainly it can not be called tiger zoo, even with a big stretch. It is possible that together with show, it would all look more fully or something, but there is nothing I can not say what I saw, I saw. Most who have been here people agree that the only more or less worthy the thing is a show with seals. Everything else is sad, sad and “sorry for the animals.”
Here is a show with cats
Long-necked turtles
Moray eels
There are several open aquariums with stingrays and fish.
Information to visit
By the way, near there is a resort where you can go to the pool, plunge after the horrors of animal imprisonment, as stated in the announcement at the ticket office. Visiting time from 9:30 to 16:30. Price – 750 baht for an adult ticket, children 100-140 cm – 450 baht, children under 100 cm pass for free. Two shows are shown daily, at 1:30 and 14:30, one with tigers, and one with cats. If u come here, then it makes sense to match the time of the show, otherwise the ticket price is not justified.
