Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens is both a zoo and a botanical garden, founded in 1865. Admission is sold in booklets priced by the visitor’s height rather than age, and the tickets in a booklet can be used flexibly over several visits, a rule the zoo states for booklets, not for single tickets. Alongside ordinary admission, the zoo runs paid hands-on sessions and guided tours, including one in English. The catch is that the sessions are priced on top of admission, not included in it.
