The 33 best things to do with kids in Yangon (Rangoon)

Probably one of the most best experiences I had in Yangon, visiting the Shwedagon Pagoda. Pictures online don't capture how truly majestic and magnificent this structure is. The way it glows in the daytime or at night, will simply capture your attention everytime.

The Shwedagon Pagoda is Myanmar’s most sacred Buddhist site, a 112 meter tall golden stupa in Yangon. It was constructed 2,600 years ago which is now the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world. Houses relics of the past four Buddhas, including eight hairs of the current Buddha, making it a pilgrimage site of global importance. The pagoda complex is adorned with thousands of gold plates, diamonds, rubies, and other significant stones. We were so lucky that it was sunny the day we went since it is rainy season in Yangon and it was raining most of the time while we were there. It was scorching hot that day, we cannot stay for more than an hour to see the huge complex. I was only able to take few photos as we were both melting and the tile floor can get very hot, I was walking like a kangaroo on barefoot. No footwear allowed upon entering. I was in awe with the beauty and history of the pagoda and other temples. Truly thankful to be able to see this complex for once in my life travels. #labonitaviajera #iamkbonita #shwedagonpagoda

The place is huge and very impressive. The ticket is 25000 and you have to pay in cash and ATM is only inside(!), so you can’t get inside unless you have cash. Girls who give tickets won’t let me in, I was lucky a guide helped me P.S. the ticket says that the price is 10000, so not about legitimacy of their posters

The Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar, as it is believed to contain relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa. It is also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda, is a gilded stupa located in Yangon, Myanmar. The stupa is made of genuine gold plates

The Shwedagon Pagoda is without a doubt the most iconic and sacred site in all of Myanmar. Towering majestically over Yangon, this golden stupa is not only a religious monument but a symbol of the nation’s spiritual heart and cultural pride. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is deeply moving. The pagoda glows with a brilliant golden hue, especially breathtaking at sunrise or sunset when the light dances across its gilded surface. Believed to enshrine relics of four Buddhas, including strands of Gautama Buddha’s hair, the site holds immense spiritual significance for Buddhist devotees. The complex itself is vast and filled with richly decorated shrines, prayer halls, and smaller stupas. Every detail—from the ornate carvings to the flickering candlelight —reflects centuries of devotion and artistry. The soft chanting of monks, the scent of incense, and the sight of locals and pilgrims in prayer create an atmosphere of deep peace and reverence. Shwedagon is not just a place to visit—it’s an experience to absorb. Whether you're there for spiritual reasons, cultural exploration, or simply to admire its architectural splendor, the pagoda leaves a lasting impression. It is a must-see landmark that captures the soul of Myanmar. The Shwedagon Pagoda is located on Singuttara Hill in Dagon Township, Yangon, Myanmar. Towering over the city, it can be seen from many vantage points, especially near Kandawgyi Lake. To reach the Shwedagon Pagoda, tourists can take taxis or buses from downtown Yangon, such as Line 8 or Line 11. While buses stop nearby, the easiest and most convenient option is by taxi, which typically takes about 15–20 minutes. There are four main entrances: South, West, North, and East. The southern entrance is wheelchair accessible and includes an elevator. International tourists are required to pay an entrance fee of approximately 10,000 Kyat. Opening hours: Daily from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Things to know before visiting: Visitors must dress appropriately, wear long pants or a skirt that covers the knees and a shirt with sleeves that covers the shoulders. Avoid tight or revealing clothing. Shoes and socks must be removed before entering. Best time to visit: Early morning or evening—to enjoy the cool air and stunning light, especially during sunset when the golden pagoda gleams against the sky. It’s customary to walk clockwise around the pagoda, refrain from loud conversation, and avoid pointing your feet at sacred objects. There is a tourist service center, and inside the museum, you'll find displays of religious antiques and historical exhibitions.

Very nice experience to go here in the evening. Last time I went in the daytime so it was another kind of experience. In brief, very nice and beautiful. Very big place so you should spare at least 1 hour to be here.

Always have some person go with you and provide some introduction of the pagoda without agree from you and will ask for tip from you. Better take sun glasses.

This is the best place to buy gifts or souvenirs. They offer anything from traditional garments, shirts and polos (I bought a few and they’re of good quality!), jewelry, paintings, and other trinkets. Definitely a must go place for tourists wanting to see handmade local crafts and souvenirs!

Extremely authentic place to visit if you are into arts. Looks like a big art gallery, a mix of modernity and past. Lots of things can be purchased there from jewellery to paintings. There are also dining experiences available. Lots of public restrooms. Overall, interesting calm walk-through the whole market.

Traditional market but it was not a happy feeling after I got back in the hotel checking my purchases. After converting what I’ve paid for 5 items I bought, surely I paid 3X for what it should be. I just wish people or sellers are honest and will not do their dirty tricks to earn more. This type of experience shoo tourist away to buy. Sad, because I’m sure not all sellers are bad and must have decent sellers out there. Negative experience from visiting this market for me but in a positive note, I hope what I paid extra, helped them in a way. Overall, it is a place to buy souvenirs. Good for photo ops, with its natural local charm. #iamkbonita #labonitaviajera #myanmar

I really enjoyed my visit to Bogyoke Aung San Market! It’s a great place to walk around and explore, with so many interesting shops selling jewelry, gemstones, handicrafts, and beautiful Burmese fabrics. There’s also a good mix of souvenirs and local products, so it’s perfect for picking up something unique. The market has a lively but relaxed atmosphere, and the vendors are friendly and not too pushy. If you enjoy bargaining, you can get some great deals! There are also food stalls where you can try some local snacks. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Yangon! I’d love to come back and explore more.

Bogyoke Aung San Market in Yangon is an exceptional market, even for someone who isn’t usually a fan of touristy markets. It’s well-organized, making it easy to browse, and the selection is impressive. You’ll find beautiful items at reasonable prices, from jewelry and textiles to souvenirs. It’s a pleasure to explore, with a clean and orderly setup that sets it apart from many other markets. Definitely worth a visit!

Interesting market. Selling Various items from gems, fabrics, antiques, souvenirs etc. Visitors need to bargain for the best price

Huge bustling market which is a lot of fun to simply just wander around or pick up souvenirs and really anything else you'd ever want to buy. It can be a bit daunting to find your way around, but it's perfectly safe and there are always lots of other tourists wandering around as well. I bought a couple souvenirs and found prices were totally reasonable without needing to bargain beforehand.

The biggest and most respected deity in Myanmar Sule Pagoda is a pagoda built over 2,000 years ago. It is a golden octagonal pagoda located in the center of the roundabout in Yangon. The base of the pagoda has a Buddha image for each day of birth to worship according to tradition. As for praying to the deity, it can grant a blessing. There is a secret: you must pray only once to use it as power for worship. Do not change your mind. Foreigners entrance fee: 10,000 Kyat/person.

If you are in Yangon, this is a place you should visit. There is a park nearby where you can relax and unwind. The scenery near the pagoda is also very beautiful.

Nice from the outside, near Independence statue. I dropped by in the evening so I did not come inside. Will do next time.

Sule Pagoda is an ancient octagonal pagoda located in the heart of the city, surrounded by many roads leading to it. It is a sacred place situated at the center of travel in Yangon, making it a significant cultural and spiritual landmark. Around the base of the pagoda, there are Buddha images designated for each day of birth, allowing visitors to worship according to their birth day. The surroundings of the pagoda are incredibly beautiful, with the golden pagoda standing in striking contrast to the green-roofed buildings nearby. To visit the pagoda, visitors must remove their shoes outside, as is customary in every temple in Myanmar. Shoes and socks must be taken off at the entrance as a sign of respect. Sule Pagoda is a must-visit destination for those who want to experience the spiritual and cultural essence of Yangon, offering both a serene atmosphere and a glimpse into the city’s rich heritage.

Sule Pagoda is a must-visit gem in the heart of Yangon! This stunning octagonal stupa, believed to be over 2,500 years old, enshrines a sacred relic of the Buddha, making it a significant pilgrimage site. Surrounded by vibrant streets and colonial architecture, the atmosphere is both lively and serene. Visiting during sunset offers breathtaking views as the golden spire glistens against the sky. Don’t miss this iconic landmark; it’s not just a pagoda but a symbol of resilience and history in Myanmar!

Visited November 14, 2024 Sule Pagoda, located in the heart of Yangon, is a stunning testament to Myanmar’s rich spiritual and architectural heritage. My visit today left a lasting impression, although the experience was slightly hampered by the midday heat. The golden stupa of Sule Pagoda stands out amidst the city’s busy streets, glowing brightly even under the harsh sun. Its unique octagonal shape and intricate details reflect centuries of craftsmanship. With a history dating back over 2,000 years, it remains an essential spiritual landmark and a beautiful sight to behold. Inside the pagoda, the serene atmosphere was a welcome relief from the chaos of the streets outside. Devotees were quietly praying and making offerings, adding to the sacred ambiance. While the peacefulness inside was soothing, the heat during my pre-lunch visit made it harder to fully enjoy the experience. The entrance fee for foreigners is 10,000 MMK, which is well worth it for the opportunity to explore this historic site. However, I strongly advise against walking to the pagoda, especially during the late morning or midday. The heat was intense, and it made the journey exhausting—opting for a taxi or Grab would be a much better choice. A few meters away from the pagoda, there is a viewpoint that offers a great perspective of Sule Pagoda surrounded by the bustling cityscape. It’s a fantastic spot for taking photos and appreciating the contrast between the ancient stupa and modern Yangon. Sule Pagoda is a must-visit for its stunning architecture and spiritual significance. While the midday heat and surrounding city chaos can be challenging, the pagoda’s beauty and the nearby viewpoint make it a rewarding experience. Just plan your visit carefully, and you’ll appreciate this iconic landmark fully.

Unluckily it was heavy rain day. However, this temple is one of the best place I have visited in ASEAN. Peaceful and architecturally clean and beautiful. One of the place to recommend for sightseeing in Yangon.

Myanmar National Museum – Honest Impressions The Myanmar National Museum is almost empty — you might find yourself being the only visitor inside. It feels quite deserted, which can be peaceful but also a bit eerie. Bags are not allowed inside. You have to leave them at the entrance in a locker, which is securely locked. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. However, one major downside is that photography is not allowed inside the museum. This is quite disappointing, as most national museums around the world allow visitors to take photos. The museum lacks air conditioning, so it gets uncomfortably hot inside. The exhibits and overall layout feel somewhat underwhelming and basic — it gives off a rather neglected or half-hearted vibe. On the plus side, the entrance fee is cheap, just a few US dollars. But overall, it’s not a very impressive experience unless you’re deeply interested in Burmese history and have time to spare.

The national museum is well worth a visit. It has a lot of very interesting exhibits. It only costs 10,000MMK to visit and can easily take a few hours to go through. I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about Myanmar’s precolonial history.

It's a must to do if you want to want to learn more on Myanmar. The 4 floors took me ( in fast ) 2 hours but if you are an historian or cultural passioned, it will take you more. Not many people there, it's very quite and good to see the beauties and pieces, you will be alone most of the time in each hall. Very interesting is the music instruments hall on the 3rd floor and the Asian corner on the top floor.

Surprisingly empty. No bags allowed inside but there are lockers you can rent. Phones are allowed but some areas are off limits for photography. 4 floors with 3-4 galleries per floor. It has everything from Royal Regalia and thrones to prehistoric dinosaur bones. The gallery on the major tribes that make up Myanmar was fascinating as was the music and art gallery. Well worth a visit if you are in the city. Give yourself 2-3 hours to explore.

If you are spending vacation in Yagoon and also interested in learning the culture of Myanmar, the National Museum of Myanmar should be in your to-go lists. This is the main museum of Burmese art, history and culture in Myanmar. The National Museum of Myanmar is a treasure chest of priceless stone inscriptions, documents, carvings, paintings and a host of other artifacts that testify to the ancient culture and civilization of the Myanmar people. Visiting this museum enlightens one with greater knowledge and understanding of beautiful the Myanmar nation and its people. It has an extensive collection of ancient artifacts, ornaments, work of art, inscriptions and historic memorabilia, related to history, culture and civilization of Burmese people.

I was there last year people said its closed now as they plan to move it to another place so you need to check about this. But although of this I want to share my experience about this amazing museum as I really enjoyed to be there last year. First you pay as forginer 500k and you have to leave your bag at outside locker and it's mandatory The museum consist of 5 floors each one has a story and it's special and different items. If you want to know about Burma history and traditions and culture this will be the best place ever as almost show every thing you need to know specially its very hard to find someone explain all of this to you as the history of Burma is long and complicated. I took around 1.5 hours to finish my tour and still feeling its not enough. Overall its a great experience and I hope it still open.

+ Stunning ground floor of the original golden Lion throne showroom from Mandalay. Third floor golden jewelry & Forth floor custom was interesting of showing some highlights of the 135 different tribes history and fashion. + Washroom on every floor. Convenient. - Though not too impressed the young girl guide asking up front for tips if the tour is satisfactory. Reminds of like being in Cuba. Difference being in here she’s polite, friendly & attentive to everyone of our group. Cuba was total opposite. Whole trip in Myanmar has never been asked nor expected tips. - Certain area no photography nor video allowed. Lights at certain floor was quite dim. Entrance Free for locals. 5000 Y for foreigner. Nice staff. English speaking staff available to tour around.

Bring your passport to enter for now. If you are interested in history of Myanmar, this place would be good to stop by. Not too bad but there was a house and can see General Aung San’s furnitures. Foreigners, 5000MMK is entrance fee. 1-15 min. is good to see everything.

Famous Historical person of Myanmar's Independent revolution.

I went to the museum on Martyrs' Day, so it was packed but also not too packed for many people to bother you. The museum/house is well-maintained, and the people there were very nice. But one thing: for Martyrs' Day, you have to go get a sticker way on the other end of the road, so that's pretty inconvenient I would say. Other than that, pretty nice place.

The museum celebrates the life and times of General Aung San. It is quite small and can be visited in under an hour. It is housed in a charming colonial building, the last home the famed political leader lived in before his assassination. A young Aung San Suu Kyi, the general's daughter and herself a prominent political personality, figures in a lot of the photos on display. For its size, the museum charges a steep fee of 5,000 kyats (about 4 USD), the same amount charged at the huge National Museum not far away.

The place has both historical and present significance. Historical - because it had been the place where the family of General Aung San (Father of Myanmar) and his daughter the present State Counsellor of Myanmar and noble peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi had lived. The house is very beautiful and attractive. It is constructed at small hillock. Inside the house, the statue of Aung San which really looks like a living one has been kept, you may like to talk with him. It is so amazing to see with your own eyes the place where great people has lived their live, shared their thoughts, dine together so on and so forth. It is a good place for researcher too. The overcoat presented to General Aung San by great Indian leader Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru has been kept there, and numbers of biography of General Aung San, Su Kyi and other valuable books are available there.

A must visit in Yangon .Very well maintained .So many memories of the man who fought for the freedom of Myanmar .The tribute by the people by preserving all his memories makes one really nostalgic .Complete info on this truly great icon is found here .We not only are informed but are full of respect for this great personality who did so much for his country in his short but meaningful life .Life cannot be counted and worthy for the no.of years you live but by what you contribute for your nation .A true hero .Sadly he lived for a very short period .

This Museum is the home of General Aung San,Burma(Myanmar) Independent leader.It shows his family photos, their living style and the books that he read.

Beautiful and well maintained World wars memorial cemetry in Htauk Kyant, Rangoon, Burma. But people not allowed to enter. Should be assumed temporarily CLOSE.

The Allied War Memorial Cemetery (also known as Taukkyan War Cemetry or Htauk Kyant War Memorial Cemetry) is located at Htauk Kyant, Mingaladon Township, 32km from Yangon, on the way to Bago. It was built in 1951 and it is a memorial cemetery of the Allied soldiers who died in the Myanmar Campaign during World War II.

We visited the memorial garden today and could not be happier. We booked a return journey on Grab and the driver kindly waited 30 minutes for us (for a small tip). The memorial was listed online as ‘closed to the public’ but the gardeners beckoned us over and allowed us to enter. We had the whole place to ourselves! The gardens and graves were so well maintained and the whole place was just stunning. They directed us to the grave of my Great-grandfather and were very welcoming. We are so thankful for their help. Well worth a visit!

Beautifully designed and maintained grounds that will impress most visitors. I visited the Htauk Kyant War Memorial Cemetery on my way back from a day trip from Yangon to Bago. It's an excellent place to stop on the return trip. It provides a lesson in history and a look into the lives of locals who use these grounds as a public park, a green space where there are many corners to sit, observe and meditate.

Great place for historic understanding and realisation of the damages by the world war. How people who were thousands of kilometres from this place fought in the war that was going to give nothing to them. People from Africa fighting for England in Myanmar against the Japanese. How on earth that makes sense? It's a reminder that wars are fought for the egos of the leaders.

The Htauk Kyant War Memorial Cemetery is an absolute marvel to behold even from the outside. As I approached the entrance, I was immediately captivated by the sheer grandeur and beauty of this memorial site. Nestled amidst lush greenery and serene surroundings, the cemetery stands as a poignant tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives during World War II. The perfectly manicured lawns, adorned with colorful flowers and towering trees, create an ambiance of peace and tranquility. The striking architecture of the memorial instantly catches the eye. The tall stone pillars, engraved with the names of the fallen soldiers, stand tall and proud, reminding visitors of the bravery and heroism displayed by these courageous men. The intricate details of the carvings showcase the dedication and craftsmanship that went into creating this memorial. What truly sets this cemetery apart is the sense of serenity it exudes. The calmness in the air is almost palpable, allowing visitors to reflect and pay their respects in a peaceful environment. The perfectly aligned tombstones, each bearing the name, rank, and regiment of the fallen soldier, create a solemn atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. As I gazed at the cemetery from the outside, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers. The sprawling grounds are a testament to the immense scale of their service and the lasting impact they have left behind. Moreover, the natural beauty surrounding the memorial adds to its allure. The vibrant flora and fauna create a picturesque backdrop, making it a perfect place to pause, reflect, and appreciate the lives that were lost. The meticulously maintained gardens and pathways invite visitors to take a leisurely stroll and soak in the peaceful ambiance. While I couldn't venture inside the memorial during my visit, the exterior itself left an indelible impression on me. The Htauk Kyant War Memorial Cemetery is undoubtedly a place of profound beauty, where nature and remembrance harmoniously converge. In conclusion, the Htauk Kyant War Memorial Cemetery is a breathtaking sight even from the outside. Its remarkable architecture, meticulously maintained grounds, and serene surroundings make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a place of remembrance and tranquility.

Even though it's right next to Highway 1, it still manages to be a tranquil place for remembrance and reflection. The grounds are well kept and clean for the most part, and visitors and locals are generally respectful of the place and what this cemetery stands for. You can see the graves of people (some marked, some unknown) from numerous countries. While it may not be a "must see" when in the Yangon area, you certainly won't be worse off for taking some kind of transportation (bus, taxi, bicycle) out here to see it.

The place is very peaceful though it can get very hot. Be careful when you are walking on the wood trail, it is not so durable.

Beautiful place for refreshment

Inya Lake and Jerry 📸 #flimphotography

You can feel fresh and windy air. Stay peacefully and away from city life.

It's a nice place to sightseeing and walk around

Inya Lake is the largest lake in Yangon, Burma (Myanmar), a popular recreational area for Yangonites, Inya Lake is bounded by Parami Road on the north, Pyay Road on the west, Inya Road on the southwest, University Avenue on the south, and Kaba Aye Pagoda Road on the east.Inya Lake is an artificial lake created by the British  as a water reservoir in order to provide a water supply to Yangon. A series of pipes and cables distributes water from Inya Lake to Kandawgyi Lake near downtown Yangon.Located next to Yangon University, it is most well known as a romantic dating area for the university students, and is chronicled many times over in Burmese popular culture .Yangon's premier sailing club is based on the lake.

Largest lake in Yangon and many local people come to that area for relaxation and fun. There are many food shops and car parking nearby the lake.

Musmeah Yeshua Synagogue is the last remaining Jewish house of worship in Downtown Yangon and Burma's only synagogue. The synagogue stands between Indian paint shops and Muslim traders on a small street near the city centre. A plaque at the entrance of the building states that the present stone building, which was built between 1893 – 1896, replaced an earlier, smaller wooden structure that was erected in 1854. It is one of 188 sites on the Yangon City Development Council’s list of Heritage Buildings. It serves the few remaining Jews of the country, mostly descendants of Baghdadi Jews from Iraq. The current building was completed in 1896. The neighborhood is now primarily Muslim.

tl; dr: Well preserved relic of a dying community For a city with only 25 jews left (the last time I looked it up), this synagogue is a symbol of the resilience of the Jewish community. Yes it's not particularly beautiful or noteworthy or large, but it is of cultural and historical significance, and I'm glad we stopped to see it, even if it was a bit difficult to find and looked shut off when we finally located it. If you're not interested in things like this though (and why would you be visiting Myanmar if you weren't?), you should probably skip this, but I found it utterly enthralling.

It was interesting to see the Synagogue between all those Yangon noisy streets. It is small, nice but not much visitors inside, only me. There are pictures of Israel leaders who came visit Burma before, very interesting.

The synagogue is historical and modest. Has antique wooden chairs with benches. Great lighting with full of vintage pictures on Jewish community before world war 2. Yangon has a good number of Jewish community. This is the only Synagogue in Myanmar and it’s very charming. Worth visiting this enchanting Synagogue in Yangon. This is being maintained since 1896.

Interesting place to visit. Old, small and not so good condition, but rare place to visit inside.

The only synagogue in Myanmar and the little community of Jewish still coming to worship here.

Built in 1893-96 . The remaining two Torahs in the Synagogue are originally from Baghdad and over 100 year old.

So dirty and unorganized. Mostly was for local, not really touristy as other typical China town. Located next to Downtown Yangon. You can also hire the tricycle, I paid 10k Kyatts for 1 hour. No English for sure. Night time, on 19th street where all the tourists go to.

It’s fun to go there. There is a variety of food stalls and have a wet market. If you are looking to buy sweets, snacks and etc you can find there. Other than that, there’s nothing else much to do except to pay respect at the monastery.

One of most famous place in Yangon. Foods taste was good. And cheaper. Just 1200kyat for 1 glass of beer I paid around 50000kyat for 4~5person.

Super Cool place to Hang out. Low cost, lot of people, Good variety of food. What NOT.

Near Theingyi Market on Sunday afternoon in June 18, 2023.

This place is very beautiful street at night life of yangon and theme of middle city. I walk .buy food and have dinner every holiday.

As usual. Crowded and full of food, beer, strong drink, and more. Can't stay pass midnight becaus of curfew. But still nice to walk around and open your taste buds. Now many food stalls and shops reopening.

This is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in Yangon, known for its largest Buddha image in Myanmar. The Buddha statue was first built in 1907 as an open-air sitting Buddha. It was unfortunately blown up by the Japanese in the Second World War. It was rebuilt in 1953 to the current white big reclining Buddha. Besides the Buddha statue, there are also painting depicting the life of Buddha on the wall. Worth a visit

Chaukhtatgyi Reclining Buddha is the third-largest reclining Buddha in Myanmar, located in Yangon. The Buddha statue is incredibly beautiful, measuring 65 meters long and 16 meters high. One of its most special features is its very large and expressive eyes, which add to its majestic appearance. Walking to the back, you will find Thep Than Jai, where visitors can ask for blessings and make wishes. The reclining Buddha is truly magnificent and offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere. Visitors can also climb the stairs at the back of the Buddha to take stunning pictures, providing a unique perspective of this grand statue. I highly recommend visiting this temple for those interested in Buddhist culture and history or simply to admire its beauty and tranquility.

Visited on November 15, 2024 Today, I had the chance to visit Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple in Yangon, and it was an absolutely stunning experience. The temple is home to a massive reclining Buddha statue, which is the highlight of the site and truly breathtaking. The reclining Buddha at Chaukhtatgyi is enormous—66 meters long—and beautifully crafted. Its serene expression and the intricate details, especially on the soles of the feet with 108 sacred symbols, were fascinating. Standing in front of such a grand statue, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of calm and reverence. The colors and design of the Buddha make it visually striking, and it’s a sight I’ll never forget. The temple’s peaceful atmosphere was one of the best parts of my visit. It wasn’t crowded, and the gentle sound of chanting and the aroma of incense created a tranquil setting. Watching the locals offering flowers and prayers gave me a deeper appreciation of the space as a living, spiritual place. Getting to the temple was straightforward, and entry was free, though I left a small donation. The grounds were well-kept, and there were shaded areas where I could sit and take in the atmosphere. It was nice to see that photography was allowed, so I could capture some memories without feeling intrusive. Dress Code: Make sure to wear modest clothing, covering shoulders and knees. Best Time to Visit: I went before lunch and it is very humid outside. Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple is a must-visit if you’re in Yangon. The reclining Buddha alone is worth the trip, and the peaceful environment made it a perfect escape from the city. It’s a place I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Myanmar.

Worth visiting. Very peacefull. Didnt expect to be that big in person. Spend minutes admiring Buddha's face and the way his manicured hand support his head. The bare metal frames and trusses adds the charm to the temple. One of the most memorable temples I visited around Southeast Asia

The pagoda notes for its huge reclining Buddha image. It is amazing and much bigger than I thought. Spend time to stroll around there you will learn many things about Buddhism in Myanmar. This pagoda is open for visitors. You should visit this place.

Beautiful space. Easily accessible. Reminder for westerners, it is a temple and so there are certain dress requirements. The Buddha is huge. Much bigger than I expected. There is a raised viewing platform to see a different perspective. It does get quite hot, so morning might be better

A must visit large scale lounging Buddha if you are in Yangon. A very beautiful and serene place. Much bigger than I expected. I love this magnificent and peaceful place.

St. Mary’s Cathedral in Yangon is a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. Located in a peaceful area near the city center, its beautiful stained glass windows, towering spires, and intricate brickwork make it a visual treat from the outside. If you’re in the area, it’s worth taking a detour to admire this impressive building and its meticulously maintained gardens. A great spot for a quick visit and some memorable photos!

Sadly couldn’t get inside of the cathedral. Some of the buildings next to it look a abandoned (which is extremely sad). Generally, its a well-restored building from the outside. Worth coming if you are into colonial architecture

Stunning!! A must see in yangon ! Gardens and all is maintained so nicely Nice staff 🙏🏼

Saint Mary' Cathedral along Bogyoke Road in downtown Yangon is one of the Roman Catholic churches in Yangon City. I had a chance to visit this church on Christmas eve to celebrate mass right. The Cathedral is built with bricks or what appeared to be brick. It is not as big as other cathedrals I have seen but it is quite spacious. The church is also adorned with a lot of statues of saints together with diorama of the life of Christ. They have a wide screen LED TV which they use instead of a projector. It has enough electric fans that ventilation was good. They also have a pulpit, which in the past is where the priests serve their sermon. An ample ground and garden surrounds the church, with an image of our Lady of Lourdes on the outside.

Notes: 2000kys entry fees for tourists - payment booth is at the right side of the gate inside. For visiting (everyday): 8:30am to 12pm then at 2pm to 4:30pm. (Service time is separate) Any attire is good to enter, obviously not too revealing, still a religious place. If there is an event then long pants is required Taking photos are allowed unless there is an event happening inside. Always quiet. ------------------ It was quite lovely as its very quiet inside with very exquisitely detailed stain glass and bright brick interior. Cool atmosphere.

The church is open only on Sunday, I didn't get a chance to go inside

The famous and biggest Church in Yangon.The quite holy place is at the corner of Bogyoke Aung San road and upper block of Bo Aung Kyaw road of BoTa Htaung Township.Enough car parking places in campus and outside. Everything's in Church are amazing .

Yangon Heritage Trust really care about preserving and sharing about the heritage of their city. They have a small office that contains many historic artefacts. They run some fabulous walking tours that can give you excellent insight into part of Yangon you may not see any other way. Noe, our guide, did a great job of showing many historical buildings and explaining their significance to this history of Myanmar and to their importance to modern life in Yangon. The tours are not as cheap as you may find elsewhere, but you are also helping support the trust that is working to preserve so much of Yangon History, and that has to be worth a little extra!

This is a kind of social enterprise or foundation that is trying to preserve the old and historical buildings of Yangon. It was founded by Than Myint U and has many volunteers. YHT offers walking tour in Yangon for Foreigners but I don't know exactly the price. It is not pricy I'm sure. If you have a plan to visit Yangon, I recommend you to join YHT walking tour. You can know how Yangon has passed through the 19th and 20th century. It would be so interesting if you are a lover of historical things. Please see some photos that I took during YHT walking tour.

YHT is located in Pansoedan street which is the central part of downtown Yangon. If you are interested in exploring old buildings of Yangon and their histories, YHT is a must go place for you. I been there many times and I fully support their mission statement of the organization.

It was an impressive tour for we have collection of colonial district and its historiical backdrop...thanks so much YHT😍

It is really interesting to join Yangon free walking tour with YHT!We can observe a lot of ancient buildings at colonial age and have a lot of knowledge from the tour leader and we have to get the opinion of how YHT is trying to conserve and preserve these buildings!

Great walks by knowledgeable guides, important work to preserve architecture of Yangon, wonderful photos and pictures of Yangon's past

They display old photos of Yangon.Interesting.Open 9am to 5pm everyday

1020 train 800 MMK - arrive by 1000 as will leave early - 2 1/2 h to 3 h full loop - great way to see local life markets and Yangon from the seat of a train ! Staff on train are nice and was a great experience. 100 % recommend to anyone visiting Yangon - Great way to enjoy - food vendors on train can provide local snacks they hope hop on off the train - enjoy 😊

If you like rugged transportation and country life, don’t miss this ride. It’s a ride of a lifetime. Costing MMK200 each the trains starts at Yangon Central station and make a 3-hour loops back to Yangon. Come prepared with snacks and water for I don’t think you wanna savour the food by the itinerant hawkers onboard. The train has no doors nor windows so it all au natural with people hopping on and off with their wares bought from the city for sales in the villages. Each stop would see different hawkers parading their wares from iPhone jacks to noodles to fruits. It’s a mesmerising experience. After an hour we hopped off at Insein and took a cab to the city just to see the sights. And hopped onto the opposite bound train for Yangon. Make sure you ask the station master for the correct train.

Year 2025. There are 2 rides a day. 1. At 8.40 am 2. At 10.20 am Recommend to arrive before 20 minutes just in case the train leaves early. Cause mine was leaving at 10.10 am. Even though it says 10.20 am.

To day in Feb 16 2020 we made the trip, the FULL circular trip. 200 kyats p/p and ca 3.5 hours later it was cleared. Half trip had been enough for us if possible but still recommend.

Most of the line has been under maintenance for sometime, so the full circle can not be travelled. When we took the train it was travelling out to a couple of stops past Insein. We did the return from Central Station which took around 3 hours. The seats are hard and the ride isn't comfortable but there are a few interesting villages to see along the way. Worth the ride if you have the time and can cope with the hard seats.

Circular line is closed due to construction (30th of November). You can only go to Insein and back, in 2 hours total. The train ride is not remotely interesting apart from the vendors inside who liven it up. Beware of girls saying they will help you and that will bring you food/beverages, as they just run to the nearby stall and then sell them to you at 10x the price.

I recommend, when Circular Line will be operating again. Really good way to see Yangon local life. There was too many sellers in the train. All the time someone was selling foods - it was nice. I was travelling Circular Line at April 2018.

Yangon Central Railway Station, a magnificent architectural marvel, stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Its grand and massive infrastructure, though impressive, reveals signs of age. To cater to the demands of modern travelers, the station requires significant upgrades, including the installation of modern equipment and arrangements, clear direction signs, and user-friendly online systems. These enhancements will not only improve the overall passenger experience but also elevate the station's status as a vital transportation hub in Yangon.

A very nice place in Yangon. The central station with circulation train around the city that would be one of the most interesting activities in the capital of Myanmar. The construction is remained for long time but being in good condition in use. It is not so hard to buy ticket for tourists like us, because they have all the guidance sign in each lane.

Yangon Central Railway Station is a very old building located at Town Center. The city train circular ride is 3 hours but for only 200 Kyat (USD0.13), truly value for money. The train route passes many small suburb area and you can alight on any stop you like. If 3 hours journey is too long, just hop off on any stop and take Grab to go to your preferred destination. It’s indeed a unique experience

At the Yangon Central Railway station, there is a great tourist attraction - the circular rail line! It takes some 3.5 - 4 hours, running from this station to different parts of towns/villages and returning to same station. There was much fun, inside the coach, seeing and experiencing like the locals do. The mad rush, the hard seats and then, the many peddlers selling their wares and food stuff, from one stop to the other. And the views, outside the coach are live pictures in motion. Beautiful scenes of countryside, wooden houses, farmlands, cars, roads etc...in sequence. A very memorable trip in this slow moving train.

The nearest hotel for this station is Hotel G. It is an amazing experience for doing the circular train trip. Interesting architecture outside the building. Inside the building is old and dusty. You can tell the guards to let you in and go onto the railway track for photo taking😎 You can also buy the train ticket at 200kyat for a round trip, which will take 3 hours for the whole trip🚂

A Historic Journey Through Yangon Central Station No trip to Yangon is complete without a visit to the iconic Yangon Central Railway Station. This historic transport hub offers a glimpse into Myanmar's colonial past and remains an important part of daily life for locals. Stepping into the vast domed lobby felt like going back in time. The grand British architecture and intricate tilework have been beautifully preserved since the station was built in 1954. I loved admiring the arched colonnades, painted ceiling murals, and giant clocktower from the platforms. Yet the real charm comes from the buzzing energy of passengers, vendors, and trains passing through. Families wait for their journeys on shaded teak benches, monks offer prayers, and the smell of local snacks like chickpea fritters fills the air. I took a circular train ride just to soak up the sights and sounds. Passing crowded outer neighborhoods and rural villages surrounding Yangon provided fascinating views of everyday life. The old diesel locomotives and wooden train cars added to the nostalgic vibe. The station doubles as a social space where people gather to eat, shop, and relax. Browsing the bookstalls on the platforms, I picked up a beautiful vintage map of Myanmar. I even stumbled upon an art gallery exhibiting local paintings. Yangon Central Station encapsulates the spirit, history, and people that make this city so incredible. It's the perfect place to experience the rhythms of daily Burmese culture. I could have spent hours exploring this transportation jewel. For an immersive experience, don't miss taking a train journey from Yangon's spectacular central station.

Ride the Circle train here. Buy tickets on platform 7. It is currently closed partway for track works so you can only go one way. We got off the train after we felt that we had enough and caught a taxi back to the city. Still a good adventure and experience

The water is green and has an unpleasant smell, but the area offers beautiful views and is surrounded by many trees. It's a nice place to enjoy nature, despite the water quality

This serene area in Yangon city boasts abundant trees and waterfronts, perfect for a tranquil jogging session or a day of relaxation. A dedicated jogging track spans the park, attracting visitors who frequent the area for daily exercise and leisure.

Decent park with a 300 kyat admission fee. A few small dining places along the lake. A few play areas for children. A very small "zoo". A nice small island to relax on the grass. A somewhat questionable boardwalk. And a "Palace". There also is a water park but I'm not sure if there is a separate admission fee for that.

It can be considered as the only enjoyable and big enough amusement park in Yangon. It could be better considering the size and structure. Tickets are super cheap. I have seen smaller and unnatural-looking parks in Thailand with very high price.

It's a nice place to relax with families, friends & lovers. You can do exercises there such as walking &running.🤍

Nice lake view to observe with a lakeside restaurant. Looked mystical in the mist from the rain.

So pleasant and stunning views. It's good to walking for healthcare. Very nice 👍

Playground and park , relaxing for all people and children for some many playgrounds. We can all enjoy it.

It's nice 👍, quiet and peaceful, it's beautiful. There are also rides for kids and restaurants for adults. There are rides like bike rides, flying plate ride, and many more games 😎 If you are a natural lover , you're gonna love this place 💞. It's nice to have a picnic 🧺 with family and friends. Also have festive season programs. It's big so don't get lost. Many varieties of shops, cafes and restaurants for everyone.

Lack of environmental cleanness. Entry Fees is 1000 ks for each whether kid or adult. But it's one time use and not covered for the whole day. Not recommended for kids. Some games are expensive and I think it's not worth. Suggest: Should be moderate and maintenance.

It is a beautiful park but there are crowded in weekend. Because it is located central point of Yangon and near around Shwedagon Pagoda, Sule Pagoda and famous shopping malls. It is also called amusement park and another amusement park also located in there. That amusement park is called Happy Zone. There have many restaurants and food court in there. But foods are not delicious and too much expensive. I strongly recommend please go there in weekday and bring your own food if you plan to go there.

Nice large park withe awesome green and small lake it's highly recommended to go there after you finished your visit to shwedagon Pagoda which is very close to this park. You can spent a great time walking around in the fresh air and enjoy the sculptures around also there is a great opportunity to take alot of nice photos with windows background 😀 You can find street food and drinks there as some small shops are inside also there is a big resturant When I visit at morning It was so calm but as usual at weekend it's very crowded There is entrance fees but it's very cheap.

Overall great place to spend a few hours walking around. Lush vegetation and nice paths. Come first thing in the morning. Also good yet rustic amusement park rides. Legit roller coaster. Log water ride and many others.

This is like a theme park with rides. There are also lots of people and eateries in the area. Although the rides cannot be compared to huge theme parks like Universal Studios, it still does provide the purpose of a fast and fun ride. It is also a good walk to appreciate the view and surroundings.

People seem having fun. Some are playing games, some are riding ducks, some sitting on the grass. Warm weather. All things are old in amusement park.Entrace fees is 500 kyats only. Street venders sell fried fritters and some food along the walkway but seem not very healthy.

this place very very good i ate very big and long e kyar kwayt for breakfast at happy world i enjoyed everything including very very big samosa and paut se

I’m not sure if it’s really my type, but it’s okay. It’s great for going with friends or family — you’ll definitely have fun. There’s also a park. Nothing particularly special to mention though.

Just relax for children. Entrance fees are 500 MMK both adult and child. Ticket fees for playing are starting from 500 to 1500 MMK.

Kids are happy to play inside of play ground adults also can enjoy there 😁

5D cinema need to be repaired. Room and seat are old. 5D glasses are very blurry. The rest are fine.

Although they made some decorated renovations, the price did not change for a long time ago. Indoor amusement.

5 stars Absolutely loved my experience at Rangoon Tea House! The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming, with a great mix of modern and traditional Burmese style. The food was delicious — full of flavor and clearly made with care. I especially enjoyed the tea selection and the thoughtful presentation of every dish. Service was friendly and professional throughout. One of the best places to eat in Yangon — highly recommended! There is also a smoking section by the outside table eating area.

A nice place for all day dinings. Variety of food from Chinese dim sum, Burmese food, and international breakfast. They are famous for tea and tea leaves. Cheesecake is also recommended.

Probably the best Burmese food restaurant you’ll have in downtown Yangon. They also have Indian cuisine-influenced food including bacon & cheese samosa, which I can’t get enough of, and chicken biryani. I also had crispy pork bowl and it was divine. Finished the entire bowl! Spent ~90k mmk on my meal but that was definitely for sharing! I wasnt able to finish the biryani. Preferably, you visit this place with family or friends and enjoy the food because the portions are definitely for sharing. :)

This is a fusion-style restaurant offering a mix of Burmese local dishes, Indian cuisine, and items similar to Cantonese-style tea house fare. They play traditional Burmese music in the background, giving the place a nostalgic and cultural atmosphere. The restaurant is housed in a two-story wooden building with a spacious layout, creating a grand and open feel. It has a classic charm with a touch of local character. Aside from being a bit noisy, the overall environment is quite nice — I would rate the ambiance between 4 and 4.5 stars. As for the food, the portions are quite small and the prices are on the higher side, so the value for money is relatively low. I'd rate the food around 3.5 stars. If the pricing were more reasonable, it could deserve 4 stars. The service is decent. The staff speak English, and there’s an English menu available. However, the Wi-Fi is basically unusable. Service overall can be rated 4 stars. In summary: Food: 3.5–4 stars (due to small portions and high prices) Service: 4 stars Environment: 4–4.5 stars (minus some points for noise) Overall: 4 stars

And incredible restaurant in central Yangon. I had heard a lot about this place in blogs online and it lived up to expectations. I went in the evening and vibe was chill, low mood lighting, art in the walls, wooden decor. The cocktail list was long, I tried several and they were all delicious. Menu was modern take on Burmese food. Highly recommend the pork noodles and tea infused cocktails. Staff were attentive and friendly, service was quick. Learned a lot about the history of the restaurant and of the city while there too!

Cocktails are stunning! Artistic local creations! Ambiance is spot on! On world charm. Perfect spot to visit with friends, family, a romantic treat or by yourself! Food is tasty and staff are friendly!

As a foreigner in Myanmar amidst some uncertainty, Rangoon Tea House was a comforting gem in the heart of Yangon! The tea and food here are absolutely top-notch — easily the best I’ve had in the city. I especially loved the mohinga — rich, flavourful, and authentic. The ambience is stylish yet relaxed, and the service was warm and welcoming. If (and when) I return to Myanmar, this will definitely be one of my first stops again!

City Mall located in front of the City Mart Supermarket and near with Denko Petrol Station . Still 1st floor is on progressing and shops are available only at ground floor . Ocean supermarket is coming soon . Playground is far left of the entrance .

A brand new shopping centre from the City Mall group, spanking new and with a very good tenant selection, demographically targeted towards North and South Okkalapa, North Dagon and Thaketa residents

Good place to go shopping. Have various fast food shops. Parking is free and usually available.

Very convenient shopping mall in North Dagon. Satisfactory one stop shopping for meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy, baking materials, snacks and home products including clothing. As for food Lotteria, tea shop, YKKO and Gong Cha are popular there. As for me, FuFu hotpot and Malar Shangaw is favorite there and I recommended it. You can also change your hair style there but little more expensive. MGOU is popular to buy daily accessories. Win mobile IT shop is also preferable one for IT accessories. Shoe cleaner spray is available at a clothing store in front of YKKO, I forgot that shop name. Next generation and Escort are update and ease of shopping there. Enough space of car parking within compound is also satisfactory for customers but more parking space is needed in weekends and evening. Too much time consuming and wasting petrol during those time. You can post the parcel such as DHL , Ninja Van service at information center ground floor entrance. Hi internet sale counter also there. By the way, I use to use free WiFi for an hour whenever I go there. I connected to Hi Shwe Pinlon WiFi by submitting age and gender. Good enough. Erke sport shoe shop is next to the Lotteria Conner. Baby toys and clothing shop is in front of Lotteria. I think you’ll enjoy to shop there. A good place for family, couples and friends. Enjoy your time there. Have a good day.

Love this bakery sm. The special services of this bakery is u can order Money Pulling cakes which is 1 of the best options to suspried someone on their occasions. Also their assists are well-communicated

just a ordinary super market. car parking unavailable most time. must try traditional foods at food court.

The playground was so much fun and there Was a huge slide

It's nice to have a quiet break with friends. You can take pictures and relax by the Inland Lake.

You can enjoy the best sunset in the world. The sun here normally set around 5:30p.m.

Good place for exercise. etc run. Aerobic.

My recent visit to the public park left me with mixed feelings. While it's a popular destination for many, I was disappointed by the large crowds. The lack of discipline when it came to disposing of trash was particularly concerning. It's unfortunate to see the park's natural beauty marred by litter. If you visit, be prepared for the crowds and consider bringing your own trash bag to help maintain the park's cleanliness.

the best place to walk in YGN during sunset.

Nice place to walking for health.

My favourite place for a sunset evening walk in Yangon

This year’s Myanmar Thingyan festival is also the first to take place after being included in UNESCO’s World Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

Huge and suitable for any event.

So nice so fresh

Many instagram spot back ground with the most sacred Shwedagone pagoda.

Cool place to refresh

Clean Yangon Smart Yangon

Heritage place of Yangon. A best location for recreation in Yangon. Locate in main place of Yangon. A little busy area.

This is the first every indoor skydiving in Myanmar and it located in Yangon. This place has an enough car parking place and the help desk as you entered the building. The price range for Foreigner are $35 for the adults and $25 for the children at the specific age and mmk 30,000 for the local adult people and 25,000 for the children. They provide training before the clients start to sky dive and they also guide during skydiving. All the equiments are safe and accessories are given for skydiving.

only to outside fusal ground. Yangon City Star FC skill training.

Modern designed. Game is interesting but it may be excited for one-time play due to the price and not-popular factor. Anyway, located on the main road, very easy to find and access and it is a good idea for a quick play (just some minutes) to kill time or have fun with your family or friends. Should to try at least once.

Very kind staffs and coaches, had a warm and comfort time during my stay at Yangon, but hope them to build some related system of enjoy real Skydiving (tandem and/or fun jump) after this wind-tunnel training.

Good Place for adventure. excited.

Great skydiving facility with very friendly coaches! Even better that there's a Ya Kun shop to suit my Singaporean tastebuds.

30,000 kyats for 2 mins of sky(tube) diving. A cool thing to experience.

Remember our university life,at those days we went there to eat buthigyaw and plain tea.

Best place to relax your brain x heart in Ygn.

fresh air

Nice & Holy Park. It's good for relaxation & imagination.

Relax with fresh air blowing over the wide lake.

Vacation time

Poor management for car parking

Having been in Myanmar for just a few days, I can’t understand why I’ve never had Myanmar’s food before. The tour that Marc has put together over the years gave us a wonderful insight into Myanmar food and also its rich culture. Each stop we went on was different and each one delicious! From the mohinga to the final barbecue street stop, we enjoyed each part of the journey, and experienced it all on tri-shaw. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get an insight into local culture through the best method - its food.

Just wrapped up an unforgettable food tour in Yangon — and wow, what an experience. From hidden teashops in quiet alleys to sizzling street-side mohinga, every stop was bursting with flavor, history, and heart. The guide didn’t just show us where to eat — he brought each dish to life with stories, context, and local charm. It wasn’t just about the food (which was incredible), it was about connecting with the city and its people. If you want to taste Yangon — its resilience, creativity, and culture — this tour is a must.

Best tour in Yangon !! I wish I had done this sooner. We ate so many different traditional dishes, Marc gave us a wonderful visit of downtown as well. Definitely recommend it !!

I had a 2 weeks trip in Myanmar recently and the street food tour guided by Marc was definitely a highlight! Street food can be found anywhere in Yangon, but Marc handpicked the most tasty and unique ones! Highly recommended!!!

Highly recommend a tour with Sa Ba street food tours. I went during a trip visiting my wife’s family who lives in Yangon. It was a lot of fun going around with my son, who was visiting Myanmar for the first time. My favorite part of the tour was trying different preparations of teas and pastries. It was also nice to have some bits of the tour for both my wife and mother in law who know Yangon and my son and I who don’t.

Did an awesome tour with Marc, he showed us the delicious street food around downtown Yangon. We liked it so much we did the cooking course which was also fantastic. Would reccomend both tours to anyone who is new to Yangon and wants an insight into the city through the lens of food and culture.

An unforgettable experience! A big thank you to Marc, who has shown us great spots for street food, shared lots of interesting stories and made our children (8 and 11) so engaged, they have tried all the food and loved it.

The location of Tharkayta Crocodile farm not actually. It have been close since Covid19 period. Hoping to reopen soon.

A lot of crocodiles, can feed them and even hold small one in your hands.

A looot of crocodiles! Very exciting place and worth the ride there!

This place is a real thrill! It is easy to walk around and the sheer amount of crocodiles is impressive. The staff are friendly, for a small fee (1000 kyats) for a bowl of fish, you can feed the crocs and see them chomp on it - it’s an adrenaline rush and super cool. You can also hold a baby croc - this place is awesome and worth a visit.

Amazing and exciting place. Should try to feed the crocodile. It is awsome. You can hold and take picture with baby crocodile here.

It is deserve to visit for once. The authority should make it more attractive for public to become a destination.

Temporarily close. Soon after, hope to reopen.

Old British colonial era market. Not popular among Yangonites since few years ago. Only tourist visit in these days. But no tourist right now. 😎

Good for walking beside Kandawgyi Lake...

A place to take a breather

Quaint school follows British Circulumm

Visiting to the zoo after 2 decades . It was nothing changed but g&g store add in which is very good thing . Would like to point out few things as - please clean the toilets , it was so dirty , smelly , disgusting and if possible please upgrade to sitting closet toilet - please prohibit of selling condoms at convenience store as afraid young adult might take advantage of it - please treat animals well . Especially tigers and lions , they seem super slim and angry not enough having meats - everything seem so black and white , wish to have more bright colouring decorations especially the cage , sitting areas , cars , bicycle, toilets wall with cute cartoon for attraction to the kids and farm of animals - wish to have big cage for birds . Should use wider crossing cage . Because of the small fence , even tho the bird are super beautiful can’t able to take picture clearly . - ticket is quite cheap . if ticket price upgrade to 5000kyat , we don’t mind giving high price for ticket but make sure things might be pay for the better . - please hire more animals profession for care . Example who graduated from geology , biology , zoology . Animals need emotional support too . - and smell of animals really bad for kids . - the snake area should renovate totally as new . It was 2 decades and nothing change even can’t see inside the cage because of unclear mirror cage . - if there’s only one animal in the cage , should add 1 more as partner , if not boredom can eat them alive . Example as donkey. Thank you and Writing this as a citizen aside from whoever own or whatever current situation is , hope for better experience and service in future . Over all experience for service 2 stars but for all the animals 7 stars ❤️.

Yeah, what to say about this place. It’s pretty old and many of the animals are in conditions that would not be acceptable in the west. But, you can come close to the animals and see them well, you can buy food and feed many of the animals yourselves (eg. the deer, rhinos, elephants, etc.) and overall it is a nice experience. The zoo is larger than expected. There is a type of small open bus service that you can rent to go through the zoo at your own pace, very convenient. So, it’s mixed bag, nice wide open zoo but the conditions for the animals are not so great.

A good place to visit on weekdays for adults, sat and sunday would be full of enjoying faces (kids). But most of the animals in the living space are poor and need to maintain more infrastructure. Good relaxing and walking under the shadow of trees.

7000 kyats for foreigner to enter. The area is not at the best condition but I have to say that the animals in there are all looking good. It will take about 2hrs to finish everything. We fed the animals , watched them Play.

One of the best zoos I’ve been to. Clean, no disturbing smells. Lots of local animals are present there. This zoo is unique and authentic, I guess heritage of colonial Britain. If you enjoy strolling, you will also enjoy here. Mind you this one is actually gigantic, so it will take a while walking there. 7000 mmk for the entrance ticket for adults. One of the most exciting activities is elephants feeding. You can purchase extra food to try yourself. Generally, everythint looks secure. Most of the species there can be barely seen during daylight or withon regular parks. You have to either travel to pristine forests/highlands to spot them, or here. So ethics wins here.

Yangon Zoological Gardens is the oldest zoo in South East Asia. I had a wonderful experience there. It reminds me of my childhood memories. It's such an enjoyable experience. You will never find somewhere like this green, windy and full of trees environment in Yangon. The compound is very big as a whole but it's quite small for the animals. They need spacious and cleaner environment compound to stay to get a healthy life. Some has got spacious place while some hasn't. Yangon Zoo is such a wonderful experience for the local people. I'm very pleased to see the developments of it in the future.

Nice place, you can feed the animals.
