Thu Le Park is divided into three main zones: the zoo, the children’s playground, and the water play area.
Vibrant Zoo
The zoo houses over 100 species of animals, including around 35 species of mammals, more than 50 species of birds, and about 40 species of saltwater fish. Visitors observing familiar wildlife like elephants, monkeys, bears, and ostriches, along with the rare species protected in Vietnam's Red Book, may see the Indochinese tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, silver pheasant, and golden pheasant.
This area has not only been developed for sightseeing and photography but also provides an educational value in helping children learn about the animal world and the concept of conservation. Each enclosure has been well-planned, allowing guests a chance to observe animals very closely and enjoy a natural experience right in central Hanoi.
