Dai Nam Zoo: Healthiest Park in the World

Dai Nam Zoo: Healthiest Park in the World
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 

While we have gotten used to feasting on junk

 food whenever we visit a zoo or a theme park,



…where they are flooded with temptingly

delicious but otherwise unhealthy food,

…ranging from greasy  fast food dishes,

…to saccharine candies and treats.

So, it was a surreal experience when

we visited the beautiful Dai Nam Zoo

in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam,

…and discovered that they sell nothing but 
healthy snacks of fresh fruits and veggies.

 

Some are sold as a whole fruit,

…while some were halved and skewered

on bamboo sticks to eat as food to go,

…and some prepared into small

bite size pieces for easy snacking.

It was a pleasant experience for my family as we didn’t

realize, that something so ideal and perfect-  of having 

everything but healthy food choices could actually be done.

It was doable. For the health professionals advocating

healthy lifestyles could learn a valuable lesson or two

in Dai Nam Zoo for making the inconceivable a reality.

The Best of Stay,Stray, Play and Feast

Next to theme parks and museums,

visiting a zoo is a must for family

traveling with children.

 

It is a place where kids

can relax and play,

 

...appreciate nature,

… and see the animals from

faraway lands that they might

not get a chance to see in their lifetime.

Of all the zoos that we have visited

in the past from our previous travels,

…we consider the Berlin Zoo

as the best and the most beautiful

in the world.

The Berlin Zoological Garden

 or Zoologischer Garten Berlin

is the oldest zoo in Germany,

…and it is also one of the oldest zoos

in the world as it  opened in 1844.

Visiting the zoo is a feast for the senses 

as it is has so many breathtakingly beautiful

natural attractions  like lovely forests

 

...with trees showing the beautiful 

hues of autumn, 

…scenic rivers,

…and rustic ponds.

It also had man made attractions

like beautiful manicured gardens,

…. glorious water fountains,

… bucolic playgrounds that

the kids got to enjoy.

 

…every nook and cranny of Berlin Zoo

is beautiful and photogenic that

you would want to take photos everywhere.

I could run out of superlatives if

go on raving endlessly about the zoo…

…and it is an understatement to describe

the zoo as the most beautiful in the words.

And I almost forgot- that this is animal sanctuary 

of more than 1,500 different species 

and around 17,500 animals found in the zoo…

…and has one the zoos with most comprehensive

collection of species in the world.

 

 

  For Stay, Stray, Play and Feast, and based

on our personal experience- 

The Berlin Zoological Garden

is the Best  Zoo in the World
