Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked away in the quieter Maenam area of Koh Samui, this exotic animal park offers hands-on wildlife encounters that go well beyond standard zoo visits. Visitors can get up close with a range of animals, from playful monkeys and gentle meerkats to overly friendly pigs, with the park currently housing a rescued baby lioness for those feeling adventurous. The intimate scale of the facility means interactions feel personal rather than rushed, making it a popular choice for couples, families, and anyone looking for an activity beyond the island's beaches. The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, particularly during the late morning hours when the park tends to be quieter. Purchasing a feeding basket is widely recommended by visitors as it significantly enhances the experience, allowing for direct interaction with the animals. Reviewers consistently note that the animals appear healthy and well cared for, adding to the overall enjoyment of the visit. Arriving around midday offers a quieter experience before crowds build in the early afternoon. As admission prices are not listed online, it is worth contacting the park directly before visiting or building flexibility into your itinerary. The park is located on Maenam Soi 1, away from the busier southern and eastern parts of Koh Samui, so factor in travel time from your accommodation. Comfortable footwear and sun protection are advisable for this outdoor attraction.

Reviews from Google
We had such a wonderful time at the exotic petting zoo. The animals were healthy, well-cared for, and surprisingly gentle. Each interaction felt unique, from feeding the smaller animals to getting up close with the more exotic species. The staff were fantastic—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They took time to explain each animal’s personality and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the visit. The entire place was clean, well-organized, and beautifully maintained. You can really see the love and effort that goes into creating a great experience for visitors and providing a kind, enriching environment for the animals. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone who wants a fun, memorable, and educational experience. We’ll definitely be back!
We visited around 12:00 PM, and it was pleasantly quiet. More visitors started arriving around 1:30 PM. We also bought a feeding basket, which we definitely recommend. Feeding the animals was a great experience, especially the turtles. It was fascinating to see so many different animals living together in one place. The staff were kind, helpful, and it was clear that they genuinely care about the animals. A lovely and memorable visit.
Such an AWESOME time we had in this park! I am very happy my husband brought us there. We enjoyed it very much, most of all the tiny cheeky monkey - so sweet and cuddly
