Things To Do

Observe the Crocodile Ponds

Walk around the farm's crocodile enclosures and observe animals of different sizes. The ponds allow visitors to see crocodiles at relatively close range while remaining behind designated safety areas.

Take Photos

The farm has a spacious, green setting as well as large crocodile ponds, making it suitable for casual photography. Visitors should remain within designated areas and avoid attempting to approach or feed the animals.

Explore the Garden

Although crocodiles are the main attraction, much of the property is covered by trees and other vegetation. The landscaped areas provide a more relaxed environment between the animal enclosures.

Use the Restaurant and Visitor Facilities

The farm also operates food and beverage facilities, allowing visitors to stop for a meal or drink. This makes the site function partly as a recreational stop rather than only a crocodile-breeding facility.

History

Long Xuyen Crocodile Farm was established on July 20, 1987. It developed as a commercial crocodile-breeding operation in the Mekong Delta, where the warm climate and extensive water resources are suitable for crocodile farming.

The farm later expanded beyond breeding into the processing and sale of crocodile products. In 2003, it received CITES certification for crocodile breeding and trade. Its activities have included breeding crocodiles of different ages, supplying crocodile meat and hides, and producing leather goods such as belts, wallets, bags and shoes.

In more recent years, the farm has increasingly incorporated tourism and restaurant services into its operation. The result is a hybrid model in which crocodile breeding remains the central business while visitors can also observe the animals and use the site's recreational facilities.

Best Time To Visit

Morning is a comfortable time to visit, particularly if you want to walk around the grounds before the strongest afternoon heat. The farm can also be visited as a short stop between other attractions in Long Xuyen.

How To Get There

Long Xuyen Crocodile Farm is located on Tran Hung Dao Street, one of the main roads through Long Xuyen. From central Long Xuyen, it can be reached by taxi, motorbike or private vehicle. The location is also convenient for travelers continuing along the road toward the Mekong Delta.

Travel Tips

• Morning is generally more comfortable for walking outdoors.
