Will children and older relatives manage the visit?

Yes. Children under 110 cm enter free, and the shows hold the attention of every age group. The main thing to plan for is the open-air walking between enclosures, so older guests should take it slowly, keep water on hand and rest in the shade between shows.

Is vegetarian or Indian food available?

Yes. The Royal Bengal Tigers Restaurant on the grounds serves an Indian breakfast and an Indian lunch at ฿200 each, with vegetarian dishes among the options, so eating well is straightforward even with children and elders along. Both meals are optional add-ons you can request at booking.

Can children do the Forest Walk with a tiger?

No. The Forest Walk admits only guests above 140 cm and runs about 20 places a day, so a slot has to be reserved in advance. Younger children can still take in the Tiger and Crocodile shows and the supervised photo sessions.

Can we take photos with the tigers and big cats?

Yes. You may photograph the shows freely. For a close-up portrait, supervised paid photo sessions are available with a Big Tiger, Baby Tiger, Lion, White Lion or Large Crocodile. Follow the handlers' instructions throughout.

What is the distance from central Pattaya, and does TripDust handle transport?

The zoo is in Si Racha, on the Bangkok side of Pattaya, about 40 minutes from the city centre by Taxi, Bolt or Grab, with afternoon traffic adding some time. We can arrange the transfer as part of a customised package; message us on WhatsApp to set it up.

When should we arrive, and what does the ticket cover?

Arrive early to take in both the Tiger Show and the Crocodile Show, which your entry ticket covers. Photo sessions, animal feeding and the Forest Walk are paid add-ons. We pass on the current show times over WhatsApp ahead of your visit.

About this tour

Tiger Topia Zoo (formerly Tiger Park) sits in Si Racha, on the road between Pattaya and Bangkok, and is built around live big-cat and crocodile experiences rather than walk-past enclosures. Visitors get up close to tigers, lions, white lions and crocodiles, with several interactions you can take part in directly. It works well as a day out for Indian families, including young children and older relatives, since most of what draws people here can be enjoyed from the show seating without any physical activity.

The zoo opens daily and the day revolves around a handful of set experiences:

Tiger Show: trained tigers jump through rings and cross raised beams with their handlers. The show is included in your entry ticket.
Crocodile Show: handlers perform routines at close range with the crocodiles. This is also included in your ticket.
Photo with the big cats: a supervised close-up photo with a Big Tiger, Baby Tiger, Lion, White Lion or Large Crocodile, chosen as a paid add-on at the zoo.
Animal feeding: optional paid sessions that include shoot-and-feed a tiger, feeding the crocodiles, or feeding a tiger on a guided tour.
Forest Walk with a tiger: a supervised walk alongside a tiger, open only to guests above 140 cm. It is capped at roughly 20 places a day and tends to fill early, so book ahead.

The zoo is open daily from 09:00 AM to 04:00 PM, with last entry at 03:30 PM. A focused visit takes about 1–2 hours, though many families stay longer so both the Tiger Show and Crocodile Show fit comfortably into the day. We send the current show timings on WhatsApp before you travel, since they are fixed at set hours.

Khaana ki tension nahi: the on-site Royal Bengal Tigers Restaurant serves an Indian breakfast and an Indian lunch at ฿200 each, so meals are sorted even when you have children and elders with you.

The site suits families with children, multi-generation groups and anyone keen on wildlife and big-cat photos. Expect a fair amount of open-air walking between enclosures, so bring water, caps and sunscreen. The Forest Walk applies the 140 cm minimum and is not open to young children.

Please note: Tiger Show: 10:00 AM, 12:10 PM, 1:40 PM. Crocodile Show: 9:50 AM, 11:20 AM, 1:00 PM, 2:30 PM. Forest Walk: only 20 spots daily, strictly above 140 cm — pre-book to secure your slot.

Quick tips for your trip

When to go: the zoo opens daily, and arriving near opening time lets you fit in both the Tiger Show and the Crocodile Show while the grounds are cooler and less busy. Weekdays draw smaller crowds than weekends. Ask us for the latest show times on WhatsApp before you set out.
What to wear and bring: light clothing and proper walking shoes work best, as you cover open ground between the enclosures. Pack a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen and water, particularly in the hotter months.
Photography: sit a few rows back at the shows for a clear, full-frame view of the tigers and crocodiles. For a close-up portrait with a big cat, book one of the paid photo sessions, follow the handlers' instructions, and keep your movements slow and steady near the animals.
Forest Walk: open only to guests above 140 cm and capped at about 20 places a day, so book ahead to hold a slot. Smaller children (those under 110 cm enter free) can join the shows and photo sessions but not the walk.
Indian food on site: the Royal Bengal Tigers Restaurant inside the zoo serves an Indian breakfast and an Indian lunch at ฿200 each, which helps when you are travelling with children and elders.
How long to allow: the zoo is open 09:00 AM to 04:00 PM, with last entry at 03:30 PM. A focused visit takes about 1–2 hours; allow up to half a day if you want to catch every show, add a photo session and have a meal at an easy pace.
Getting there: the zoo lies in Si Racha, on the Bangkok side of Pattaya, around 40 minutes by Taxi, Bolt or Grab from the city centre. Allow extra time in the afternoon, when traffic builds up. We can fold transport into a customised package on request.
