The Million Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm

Spread across 70 acres on the outskirts of Pattaya, this attraction combines two distinct experiences: a botanical garden filled with striking ancient rock formations and carefully maintained landscaped grounds, and a crocodile farm featuring live performance shows. The stone park side draws visitors for its unusual geological displays and photogenic garden settings, while the crocodile farm adds an element of spectacle with handlers performing up-close demonstrations. Giraffes and elephants are also present on site, with paid feeding experiences available. Visitors should be aware that the animal welfare standards here are a point of genuine controversy. A notable number of visitors have raised concerns about the conditions in which animals are kept, including tigers housed in small enclosures and crocodiles managed in ways some find distressing. Those who are sensitive to animal welfare issues may want to research this aspect carefully before visiting, as experiences vary significantly depending on personal expectations. The park is open every day from 08:00 to 17:00, making it accessible throughout the week. Given the size of the grounds, visitors should allow a substantial amount of time to explore the full site comfortably. Wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing sun protection is advisable, as much of the park is outdoors and exposed. The official website at thaistonepark.org may carry updated information on entry fees and show schedules before visiting.
