Tiger Zoo

Sriracha Tiger Zoo is only 30 minutes drive from Pattaya and is located on over 100 acres of beautiful parkland. It is a very family-friendly attraction with a wide variety of features that are designed to suit all age groups. The Tiger Zoo is home to a huge collection of tigers, crocodiles, chimpanzees, camels, deer, wallabies, elephants, Peruvian guinea pigs, pigs, kangaroos, ostriches and an aviary of exotic birds.

The zoo contains the largest number of Bengal tigers in captivity and maintains an extremely successful breeding programme. In addition to the tigers, there are over 100,000 crocodiles living and breeding here and both creatures are kept in what would be their natural surroundings.

Sriracha Tiger Zoo offers the visitor many activities and amazing shows that hark back to the bygone days of carnival and circus. Visitors can have their photograph taken with a tiger; a baby crocodile and many of the other animals. They can get close to and even feed the camels, deer, wallabies and ostriches. They can witness the friendship between a tiger, a pig and a dog, and watch a sow suckling a litter of tiger cubs along with her own piglets. From May to August, visitors can view the unique "Crocodile Hatching Festival" as hundreds of tiny, baby crocodiles emerge from their eggs. Pig racing is held at the specially built race track and to see "The Scorpion Queen", a young lady with over 100 scorpions crawling on her body, is a must. Elephant rides are available and are a great way to tour the landscaped park. There is a large very reasonably priced restaurant with something for all tastes.

A visit to the Amazing Circus is also essential. Here visitors can enjoy watching the elephants dancing, playing basketball and strutting their stuff down the "elephantwalk" in a fashion show. In the crocodile show trainers perform death defying stunts with the animals and Sriracha Tiger Zoo is the only one to present female fighters wrestling crocodiles barehanded. There are also entertaining shows featuring tigers, bears and chimpanzees. The Amazing Circus can hold in excess of 1,500 audience members per show.

Sriracha Tiger Zoo is open daily from 9.30 am to 6.30 pm.
