Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo (Korat Zoo)
สวนสัตว์นครราชสีมา
One of Thailand's largest open-air zoos, where you can drive or ride an electric cart through the African savanna zone.
Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo (Korat Zoo) lies about 15 km south of the city and covers a large area. Its zones are themed around the African savanna, Asian animals and more, and giraffes, zebras and white rhinos can be observed up close. Activities include feeding giraffes, a penguin house and a water park, making it the top choice for families visiting Korat. The park's roads are long, so you can rent an electric cart or bicycle, or drive in yourself. Open roughly 8:00–17:00. Admission is about several dozen to over a hundred baht, with higher prices for foreign visitors. Reach it by taxi or hired car from the city.
