The road to Zoodoo is very nice and airy. The feeling of relaxation when going away from the bustling city so the distance of more than 30km is no longer an obstacle.

Another special thing is that the Zoodoo animals are virus-free and they are transferred to Dalat Zoodoo under the direction of the World Zoodoo organization. Consequently, the animals here are very friendly to people and they are tied with positioning chips for the management of the World Zoodoo Organization. Even the set of tables and chairs in this area must also be designed and constructed in accordance with the form prescribed by the Zoodoo Organization from the form, material, size and quantity.

In Zoodoo, there are strict rules set for visitors such as not making noise, teasing, chasing to keep the animals here friendly and fearless of people. At the same time, this zoo only serves a fixed number of visitors, following fixed tours (accompanied by a zookeeper) so that the animals can rest and avoid panic due to overcrowding.
