What time does the zoo in Ho Chi Minh City open and close?

The Ho Chi Minh City Zoo and Botanical Gardens operate daily from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM.

This schedule is very convenient for planning your day:

• The best time to visit is in the morning (from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM). At this time, it's not as hot yet, the animals are more active, and there are fewer tourists. You'll be able to explore everything calmly before the midday heat.
• Keep in mind that to fully explore the entire area (zoo + botanical gardens), you need at least 3-4 hours, and with children and breaks on benches, it can take up to half a day.
• The ticket counters likely close shortly before 6:30 PM, but it's not advisable to enter right before closing—you might be politely ushered off the premises.

Remember that the zoo is outdoors, so during the rainy season (approximately from May to November), there's a chance of getting caught in a downpour. Having an umbrella or raincoat with you is a good idea.
