Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
The white tiger enclosure is the main draw, but the langur habitat is more interesting - very active and swing right up to the glass.
Da Lat weather changes hourly. Go in the morning when it is driest - afternoon thunderstorms roll in around 2 PM.
The petting zoo goats are enthusiastic. Watch toddlers closely - they nibble fingers if they smell snacks.
Wear layers. The zoo sits at 1,500m elevation and morning temperatures can be a brisk 15C even in summer.
Pony rides cost 50,000 VND ($2) for 10 minutes - great for kids 3-7 not ready for real horseback riding.
Combine with the nearby Da Lat Flower Gardens - a 5-minute drive and free for kids under 6.

A Real Parent's Story
Pony ride victory for our timid 4-year-old
“She was terrified of the pony. The handler let her just watch for 10 minutes. Then she fed it a carrot. Then she rode it twice.”
Read full story
Our 4-year-old is cautious around animals. At Da Lat Zoo the pony ride handler was incredibly patient - let her stand back and watch, offered a carrot for feeding, then gently lifted her onto a calm pony named Mochi. She rode twice and cried when we had to leave.
