Chiang Mai Zoo was established by the The Zoological Park Organization, Thailand in 1974. Situated on 531 Rai of verdant forest land at the foothill of Doi Suthep mountain, the zoo is surrounded by hilly terrain which is home to thousands of species of wild plants and flowers adorning the natural landscape of valleys, streams and waterfalls.
Chiang Mai Zoo is the first and only zoo in Northern Thailand where visitors can experience the excitement and intimacy of various species of animals in their natural habitat.
Chiang Mai Zoo will be wonderful all year round by growing many kinds of flowers , especially to express
Lanna tradition. Chiang Mai Zoo will grow a variety of orchids Rhododendrons and many rare flowers
that you can not find easily elsewhere.
Chiang Mai Zoo Aquarium
it's a living museum that boasts South East Asia's longest and most spacious underwater pathways -- crystal clear "SeaTube" tunnels that place the observer directly in the center of enormous 360-degree aquatic habitats. Each of seven individual exhibits showcase a distinct environment, completely self-contained, and carefully populated with an authentic cross-section of native species.
As one of the planet's great ecosystems with nearly 2,000 species of marine creatures, the Mekong serves as symbol of the diversity that the Chiang Mai Zoo Aquarium seeks to replicate. Thus, it brings together thousands of examples of exotic marine life from around the world to their new home, living together in a haven thousands of miles from their native environment, and cared for by their attentive human custodians.
Snow Dome
The newly-opened Snow Dome is the latest attraction at Chiang Mai Zoo. When chilled water sprayed from a nozzle comes into contact with the very low temperature inside the Snow Dome (which can be set as low as –5 degrees centigrade), small particles of ice and snowflakes form and fall to the ground as snow.
The Snow Dome includes a snow terrace, a huge slide, and a viewing platform. Visitors can make their own Snowman or snow sculpture, or simply frolic in the snow. Families and friends can engage in snowball fights or experience the thrill of riding down a huge slide on a donut ski.
Visitors will be provided with a coat and shoes to keep warm while inside the dome. The admission fee is 150 baht each for adults and 100 baht for children.
How to get there: Chiang Mai Zoo is located at the Huay Kaew Road. Probably the easiest way to get there is Tuk-Tuk, but Songtaews going to Doi Suthep also take you to the zoo. Bus number 3 also goes past the zoo.

Chiang Mai Animals
Chiang Mai Night Safari
One of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's projects, the slick Night Safari has obviously had a lot of money spent on it. It's caused much controversy throughout its creation - primary of which is its location on 1.3 million sq km of Doi Suthep National Park land, and the consequential (and as yet unassessed) environmental impact it may have.http://www.chiangmainightsafari.com
