Back to City Zoo If you are a zoo enthusiast, don't bother. I visited the zoo on my first trip to Viet Nam and it was a huge disappointment. Of course, this is coming from someone who lives in Southern California and have visited the San Diego zoo. There were pitifully few animals and the ones that were there were extremely malnourished. As an animal lover, it broke my heart. Southern Viet Nam has so much more to offer, don't waste your time visiting the zoo unless you have nothing else to do.
