🦘 Zoodoo Đà Lạt Review – Once is Enough?

🌳 Space – Rustic and Close to Nature

Zoodoo is located about 30km from the center of Da Lat, surrounded by pine forests and hills. The air is fresh, the atmosphere is quiet—perfect for escaping the city’s hustle and bustle. The grounds are designed in a rustic way with dirt and wooden paths, maintaining the natural features of the highland.

🐾 Animals – Fun Interaction, But Below Expectations

The highlight of Zoodoo is the chance to interact with animals: you can feed and pet kangaroos, alpacas, rabbits, sheep… However, I felt the animals were neither as cute nor as diverse as expected. Some looked quite pitiful—like peacocks that had lost most of their feathers, and the capybaras were too old, looking more like pigs than the cute animals seen elsewhere.

Biggest Downside: Compulsory Guided Tours

• You have to stop at places you're not interested in
• You get rushed through the areas you actually want to spend more time in

☕ Facilities – Forest View Cafe & Camping Area

Zoodoo has a small cafe with a relaxing pine forest view, perfect for resting. There’s also a camping area if you want to stay overnight in nature. However, because the tour is quite rushed, there's little time to enjoy these facilities.

📸 Check-in – Cute Photo Spots, But Not Impressive

Zoodoo follows a wild Australian design style with several cute photo corners like wooden fences, rabbit pens, and wooden signs. But since it’s a guided tour, you can’t freely take photos where and when you want—making the photo experience incomplete.

💰 Ticket Price – Not Worth the Experience

The ticket is currently 100,000 VND/adult. With such a limited tour format and unimpressive animals, I don’t think the price is justified. If you could explore freely, it might be better. But being forced into a “guided visit” like this is quite exhausting.

✅ Pros:

• Lush and fresh natural surroundings
• Hands-on animal interaction
• Family-friendly design, especially for kids
• Pleasant pine forest cafe
• Campsite available for overnight stay

❌ Cons:

• Restricted tour, must follow a fixed path
• Can't freely choose your favorite areas
• Limited animal diversity, not as cute as expected
• Some animals look old, balding, and lifeless
• High ticket price for the value received
• Far from the city center, inconvenient without a private vehicle

📝 Overall Rating: 3/5 – Not Coming Back

I had high hopes for Zoodoo, but the reality didn’t meet expectations. For me, it’s a “try once to know” type of place—especially if you’re not a fan of fixed, guided tours. The scenery is nice, but the feeling I left with was more disappointment than joy.
