I’m so happy there’s a place like this in Ho Chi Minh City! 🥹🦫 I absolutely love capybaras, so getting to spend time with them was such a lovely experience. They’re incredibly cute and calm, and the whole place has such a cozy atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit for capybara lovers! 💕

Drinks are quite average but the views out to the river are just amazing. It's a very relaxing place. We tried a couple of their teas, the blood orange soda and coconut coffee, all of which were just okay. The Capybara are huge. There is an overpriced ticket to go inside the enclosure, but they can be seen from outside also. The cafe is inside a gated residential community and they don't allow non-residents to either walk or use a cab inside so you have to take a golf cart from the main gate (the ride is free). The guards at the gate were very kind and helpful.

Visited during our trip beginning of February. It's a little out the way from the tourist area but worth the trip. We got the metro and walked for 10 minutes or.just get a grab. You get in by a golf buggy taking you through a private residential gated area that looks very rich and get took back to the gate when ready to go. We got the drinks package 250000vd for a drink cupcake and food for the capibara. Health and safety is key. Hands washed and dos and donts explained. The capibara look well looked after and have a decent size living area. We loved our time and even bought more food for them. They sat almost on our knees and loved a tickle. Just like pet dogs. The staff told us all there names even the grumpy girl who was separate from the others but still had plenty of space. Highly recommend to go and it's a great escape from the madness of the city
