Free admission is the first surprise here, for Thais and foreigners both. The second is how close you get. Spend 50 baht on a bucket of vegetables at the entrance and the deer will do the rest, which is why families with young kids tend to lose an hour before they've seen anything else. Beyond the deer there are gibbons in big open areas, a crocodile tank, plenty of birds, and binturongs that famously smell like buttered popcorn. There's a gift shop and snacks, and parking isn't a problem.
Now the honest part. This is a breeding and rehabilitation center, not a polished zoo, and standards wander from enclosure to enclosure. Some of the monkey cages are bare and sparsely occupied. More seriously, reviewers keep flagging a young elephant kept chained and doing tricks for visitors. Some people find it the highlight of the day. Others walk away uncomfortable. If elephant welfare matters to you, go in knowing that.

Reviews from Google
A really nice little Zoo/Rehabilitation center in the Sam Phraya area between Hua Hin and Cha Am. Very open enclosures for local wildlife that includes many deer, wide open areas for Gibbons, many birds, a crocodile tank, and Bintaurangs that smell like candy corn, and an orphaned baby Elephant. At the entrance you can purchase bananas and squash to feed the deer and you stroll throughout the Zoo as well as a gift shop for the kids, and snacks for everyone. It has ample parking and seems to be never crowded creating a very peaceful atmosphere. There are rehab cages for Macaques that will need relocating back into the wild, as well as new arrivals of 3 varieties of Gibbons who's calls can be heard for a couple of moles away. Not the biggest Zoo around, but the staff and super nice, the enclosures kept clean, and it's free! So if you are in the area, be sure to treat yourself and your kids who will always find it fascinating.
Brilliant trip out. Just wish the elephants were freer to roam
It isn't London Zoo! Poorly arranged and mostly empty cages for the monkeys. I'm sure the animals are looked after. One young elephant, chained & performing tricks, very off putting.
