Safari World & Marine Park
Safari World and Marine Park in Bangkok is a fun day out for the whole family. The variety of things to see and do makes this a fun and enjoyable place for everybody. Coupled with Thai hospitality, Safari World is a kids paradise.
This huge park is divided into two areas, a drive through safari park and a marine park which also offers a number of shows.
Safari World
The safari drive through offers a chance to view from close by wild animals from Africa and Asia on a five kilometer drive through African safari like wilderness. Here you can view thousands of animals like rhino, deer, bear, zebra, giraffe and many kinds of tropical birds in a natural like habitat. As you will get very close to the animals, this ride also provides excellent photo opportunities.
Watch the tiger feeding
A separate area enclosed by double gates is home of the lions and the Bengal tigers. Every morning at 10 am the lions and tigers are being fed, which can be observed by visitors and is an unforgettable experience.
Marine Park
The second part of the park is the Marine Park, which is a walk through Zoo with a number of animal shows. Strollers are available for rent for the smaller kids at the entrance.
In this part of the park animals as walrus, orangutan, kangaroo, monkey, crocodile, tapir, all kinds of tropical birds and giant fish can be seen. Kids love the safari terrace where you can walk up a ramp to come face to face with the giraffes, which children can feed. Buckets of food can be bought for 40 Baht.
After lunch at 1:45 pm the dolphin show starts where these intelligent and friendly animals perform a number of tricks, playing with balls and effortlessly making somersaults.
Mini World bird aviary
Mini World is a place where you and the children can come in very close contact to a number of different species of birds. There is an aviary here where large tropical birds live and an area for smaller birds like parakeets. Feeding these little birds will soon bring dozens of them on your hands, arms and shoulders, a lovely experience for kids.
River Safari Ride
The river safari ride is a boat ride taking about 30 minutes through the “jungle”, especially fun for children. Along the way all kinds of animals (not real) that live in the jungle can be seen while listening to sounds of the jungle. The river safari ride is located in the Marine Park section.
