Puppy Farm Da Lat with kids: ticket prices, opening hours, and what families should know

Puppy Farm is located on Cam Ly Road in Mang Lin, approximately 7-9 km from central Da Lat. Ticket prices in 2026 are VND 120,000 for adults and VND 70,000 for children, while dog interaction sessions usually run from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Arrive around 8:15 AM or 1:15 PM and allow at least two to three hours to explore the dog area, animal enclosures, flower gardens, and greenhouses.

Where is Puppy Farm Da Lat?

Puppy Farm, also known locally as Nong Trai Cun, is located in Mang Lin Hamlet along Cam Ly Road, northwest of central Da Lat. This part of the city has farmland, greenhouses, pine-covered hills, and several countryside attractions.

Here are the practical details.

Da Lat's administrative boundaries and address names changed in July 2025. Older websites may still list Puppy Farm under Ward 7, while newer listings use Lang Biang - Da Lat Ward.

For navigation, search for Nong Trai Cun - Puppy Farm on Google Maps. Do not search only for Cam Ly, as the name also appears in other locations around Da Lat.

Puppy Farm is not within walking distance of Xuan Huong Lake or Da Lat Market. It is better treated as a half-day countryside attraction than a quick stop between two downtown cafés.

Puppy Farm Da Lat ticket prices in 2026

Admission prices for 2026 are:

You may still find older prices of VND 100,000 for adults and VND 50,000 for children on booking websites. Those figures should not be your main budget reference for a 2026 visit.

For example, two adults traveling with one child who requires a ticket would pay approximately VND 310,000 in admission fees.

That does not include optional activities, food, drinks, or farm products.

What does the Puppy Farm entrance ticket include?

A standard admission ticket gives visitors access to both Farm 1 and Farm 2.

The main attractions generally covered by admission include:

• The dog interaction area during scheduled sessions
• Animal viewing areas
• Flower gardens and landscaped photo spots
• Agricultural greenhouses and farm displays
• General sightseeing areas across the two farms

Some tickets also include unlimited tubing and grass-sliding activities.

Other ticket sellers describe different inclusions, and access depends on the ticket package or current promotion.

Check the admission board or ask the cashier what your specific ticket covers, especially when purchasing through a third-party booking platform.

For families with young children, the dog area, animal enclosures, flowers, and greenhouses already provide enough activities for a morning. You do not need to try every ride to get reasonable value from the ticket.

Activities and purchases that may cost extra

The easiest additional expenses to underestimate are animal feed, go-kart rides, and fresh produce.

Strawberries picked in the greenhouse are not free simply because you have paid the entrance fee.

Puppy Farm Da Lat opening hours

Puppy Farm is open from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily.

The farm's official contact page shows a slightly longer schedule:

• Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM-5:30 PM
• Saturday and Sunday: 7:00 AM-6:00 PM

Use 7:30 AM-5:30 PM as the usual visiting window, and call the farm if you plan to arrive particularly early or stay late.

More importantly, the dog interaction area does not follow the same schedule as the entrance gate.

These sessions may change depending on the weather, animal care requirements, or operating conditions.

What is the best time to visit Puppy Farm?

Morning is the easiest option for most visitors.

Leave central Da Lat around 7:45-8:00 AM. You should reach the farm around 8:15-8:30 AM, giving you enough time to purchase tickets and enter the dog area when the morning session begins.

An afternoon visit also works. Aim to arrive at approximately 1:15 PM, join the dog session after 1:30 PM, and spend the remaining time exploring the gardens and other animals.

Arriving after 4:00 PM is also a poor choice for a first visit. The dog interaction session is nearly over, while the other sections require additional walking time.

On weekends and public holidays, arriving at the beginning of a session also gives you more flexibility if there are queues at the ticket counter or popular activity areas.

How to get to Puppy Farm from central Da Lat

The journey from Da Lat Market to Puppy Farm is relatively straightforward by private vehicle. You do not need to travel over a long mountain pass.

One common route is:

1. Step 1

   Da Lat Market

   Start near Da Lat Market and head toward Nguyen Van Cu Street.

2. Step 2

   3 Thang 2, Hoang Van Thu

   Continue toward 3 Thang 2 Street and Hoang Van Thu Street.

3. Step 3

   Toward Van Thanh

   Follow the direction of Van Thanh Flower Village.

4. Step 4

   Cam Ly and Mang Lin

   Continue toward Cam Ly Road and Mang Lin.

5. Step 5

   Puppy Farm gate

   Follow your navigation app to Nong Trai Cun - Puppy Farm.

Your navigation app may suggest slightly different turns depending on where you start.

Keep the farm's actual map pin as your destination. Avoid unfamiliar narrow shortcuts simply because they appear a little shorter.

Should you take a taxi or rent a motorbike?

Families with young children should choose a car or taxi.

Puppy Farm covers a fairly large area, and you will spend time walking between animal enclosures, gardens, greenhouses, and activity zones.

Having a car drop you near the entrance is more convenient, especially if your child is likely to be tired or fall asleep afterward.

For two adults comfortable with riding, a motorbike provides more flexibility. The farm is not especially far from downtown, but the route still includes slopes and curves.

If you are unfamiliar with Da Lat's roads, do not underestimate the riding conditions.

International visitors who plan to ride a motorbike must have a driving licence that is legally valid in Vietnam for the specific vehicle category.

If you do not have the appropriate licence, take a taxi, hire a car with a driver, or book a tour with transportation.

Puppy Farm has parking areas for motorbikes and cars. Larger groups arriving by coach should contact the farm beforehand to confirm parking arrangements and drop-off points.

What can you do at Puppy Farm Da Lat?

Puppy Farm has developed into a combination of an animal attraction, working farm, flower garden, and outdoor entertainment venue.

The dogs remain its main attraction, but they are no longer the only reason to visit.

Animal lovers can spend most of their time around the dog and animal areas. Families may prefer to balance animal encounters with gardens and greenhouse visits.

Groups looking for more active entertainment can add sliding activities or go-karting.

01

Meet the dogs

More than 100 dogs, allow 30-45 minutes

This is still the main reason many visitors come to Puppy Farm.

The farm has more than 100 dogs representing several breeds.

Breeds frequently mentioned include:

• Alaskan Malamutes
• Siberian Huskies
• Samoyeds
• Corgis
• Shiba Inus
• Poodles
• Pugs

During scheduled sessions, visitors can observe, gently pet, and photograph dogs that are available for interaction.

Not every dog will want to be touched.

Some may approach visitors on their own. Others may prefer lying down, walking around, or keeping their distance.

The simplest way to interact is to stay calm, allow the dog to approach, and gently touch its shoulder or back when it appears comfortable.

Avoid surrounding a resting dog or waking it just to take a photo.

For young children, an adult should remain close throughout the interaction. Even a friendly large dog can accidentally knock over a child.

Allow about 30-45 minutes for the dog area.

That is usually enough time to meet several dogs, take photographs, and observe their behavior without spending the entire session in one place.

02

See capybaras, alpacas, and other animals

Capybaras, alpacas, ponies, Mini Silky goats

Yes, Puppy Farm Da Lat has capybaras.

The capybaras have their own enclosure at the farm.

Other animals at the farm include alpacas, ponies, Mini Silky goats, raccoons, and various smaller animals.

The number of animals and the species on display change because of veterinary care, relocation, enclosure maintenance, or operational decisions.

If seeing a particular animal is your main reason for visiting, confirm that it is currently on display.

Capybaras are especially interesting for children who have only seen them in online videos.

You can observe their body shape, movements, and behavior at relatively close range where the enclosure permits.

Do not assume that a calm-looking capybara can be hugged or fed.

Follow the posted rules, ask staff before approaching, and use only food supplied or approved by the farm.

For raccoons and other animals kept in separate enclosures, remain outside the barriers unless a staff member specifically authorizes closer contact.

03

Walk through the flower gardens

Allow 20-40 minutes, best in the morning light

If your group enjoys photography, the gardens deserve some time.

Puppy Farm has landscaped flower areas, hillside paths, decorative installations, and garden viewpoints.

Flowers grown here in the past include hydrangeas, sunflowers, asters, lavender, and cosmos.

They do not all bloom at the same time.

One garden may look excellent during one month and be undergoing replanting the next.

Do not plan your entire photo session around images posted several years ago.

The farm also has European-style decorative areas, cactus displays, succulents, and tropical plants.

Allow approximately 20-40 minutes for the flower gardens and photo spots.

Morning light is generally more comfortable for outdoor portraits. During the hottest part of a sunny day, consider moving to the greener garden sections or greenhouse areas.

You do not need to stop at every installation. Pick the sections that are looking their best when you visit.

05

Visit Farm 2 and the agricultural greenhouses

Allow 20-30 minutes, produce is sold by weight

Puppy Farm has two visiting areas commonly called Farm 1 and Farm 2.

Farm 2 is a short distance from the main area and focuses more on greenhouse cultivation and agricultural displays.

The farm has previously provided electric vehicle transfers between sections. Ask at the ticket counter whether the transfer service is operating and where to board.

Farm 2 introduces visitors to crops that have included:

• Strawberries
• Cherry tomatoes
• Chocolate tomatoes
• Pepino melons
• Hydroponic vegetables

The actual crops depend on the growing season.

The interesting part of the greenhouse experience is seeing produce growing on plants rather than already packaged for sale.

Children can observe how strawberries are cultivated, recognize ripe tomatoes, and learn basic differences between greenhouse farming and open fields.

Allow around 20-30 minutes for this section.

Some areas may offer pick-your-own produce under staff supervision.

Any fruit you take home is normally charged by weight according to the current price.

Do not pick fruit, break stems, or eat produce directly from the greenhouse unless staff have given permission.

06

Try tubing and grass sliding

Each ride has its own height and age rules

Puppy Farm also has outdoor sliding activities, including dry tubing and grass sliding.

These attractions use specially designed downhill tracks where visitors ride on equipment provided by the operator.

They offer a change of pace after walking through animal enclosures and gardens.

The farm also has a colorful rainbow-style slide, which stands out against the surrounding hillside.

Each activity may have its own restrictions relating to height, age, health, weight, and seating arrangements.

Listen to the staff at the starting area before participating.

Do not place a child on a tube or sliding vehicle until an attendant has checked that the activity is suitable.

If you dislike speed or downhill rides, skip them.

There is still plenty to see at Puppy Farm without taking part in any sliding activity.

07

Go-karting

About VND 60,000 per ride, single and two-seat karts

Puppy Farm introduced its go-kart attraction in September 2025.

The track gives visitors a chance to try a driving activity away from the animal enclosures.

It is more suitable for groups looking for some physical entertainment than for visitors who only want to walk around the farm.

A ride costs about VND 60,000 in 2026.

Check the current ticket price, vehicle type, and number of laps before paying.

The track has single-seat and two-seat vehicles, but children's participation depends on the operator's safety rules.

The availability of a two-seat vehicle does not mean children of every age can ride.

Families with toddlers or visitors who are not interested in driving can leave go-karting out of their plans entirely.

How are the dogs cared for at Puppy Farm?

This is an important consideration, particularly for international visitors and people who prioritize animal welfare when choosing attractions.

Puppy Farm operates scheduled dog interaction sessions, with a break between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM.

Providing a break between visitor sessions is a positive feature of the schedule.

However, the existence of scheduled rest periods alone does not establish that every aspect of animal care meets a particular welfare standard.

The dogs are described as receiving care and vaccinations.

That is promotional travel information rather than veterinary documentation.

The veterinary history of individual dogs, how much rest they receive outside visitor sessions, and the farm's long-term health monitoring procedures are hard to judge from a single visit.

If animal welfare is central to your decision, there are several things worth watching for.

Can dogs choose not to interact?

Watch how the dogs behave around visitors.

A comfortable dog may approach people voluntarily, sniff them, walk around naturally, or settle down to rest.

A dog that repeatedly tries to move away, trembles, tucks its tail, lowers its body, or avoids contact may be experiencing stress.

Do not insist on touching a dog that appears uncomfortable.

Also observe whether dogs have somewhere to retreat from visitors and whether staff can remove an animal from the interaction area when necessary.

Are there clean resting areas, water, and shade?

Da Lat is generally cooler than many other Vietnamese cities, but outdoor areas can still become warm on sunny days.

Look at the cleanliness of the ground, the availability of drinking water, resting places, and how waste is handled.

Staff supervision is another useful indicator.

An attraction with many dogs should not rely entirely on visitors knowing how to behave around animals.

Do staff intervene when visitors behave inappropriately?

Notice what happens when a child pulls a dog's tail, someone tries to pick up a dog incorrectly, or several people crowd around one resting animal.

The way staff respond to these situations tells you more about day-to-day operations than a promotional photograph of clean, friendly dogs.

International visitors can ask straightforward questions about rest periods, veterinary supervision, and whether the animals have private spaces away from guests.

Do not assume every employee speaks fluent English. Having a few questions translated into Vietnamese may make the conversation easier.

If you cannot obtain enough information, or if the conditions you observe make you uncomfortable, you can skip the dog interaction area or choose not to visit.

Puppy Farm is a commercial animal attraction, not a dog rescue center.

Is Puppy Farm suitable for your group?

The same attraction can feel quite different depending on whether you are traveling with young children, visiting with friends, or exploring Da Lat as an international tourist.

Families with young children

Puppy Farm is a reasonable choice for families who want children to see different animals, explore gardens, and spend time outdoors.

For preschool-age children, prioritize a short dog interaction session, the capybara area, and a few easily accessible animal enclosures.

You can then continue to the flower gardens or greenhouses.

Avoid scheduling too many activities.

Children may become tired from walking before they reach the final attraction on your list.

If your child is afraid of large dogs or sensitive to barking, observe the dog area from outside before deciding whether to enter.

There is no need to force a child into the enclosure just for a photograph.

Strollers may also be inconvenient on slopes, steps, and garden paths.

Families with babies should ask about the easiest walking routes and the availability of electric transfers between the two farms.

Groups of animal-loving friends

Friends who enjoy dogs will probably spend a good portion of their visit around the dog area.

However, Puppy Farm has enough other attractions that it makes sense to explore beyond the dogs.

The capybaras, other animal enclosures, and gardens can turn a short animal encounter into a proper half-day outing.

Groups interested in photography can combine the dog area with flower gardens, tropical plants, and decorative installations.

Those who want more activity can add sliding or go-karting.

The main drawback is the possibility of crowds, particularly on weekends.

If your ideal outing is a quiet, undeveloped countryside setting with very few people, Puppy Farm may not match that expectation.

International travelers

Puppy Farm is relatively easy to include in a Da Lat itinerary because it is not far from downtown and can be reached by car.

You can explore the flower gardens, greenhouses, and animal viewing areas without needing to speak Vietnamese.

However, activities requiring instructions, such as animal feeding, fruit picking, or go-karting, are easier when you confirm the rules with staff beforehand.

If animal welfare matters to you, remember that Puppy Farm is a paid animal interaction attraction rather than a rescue or conservation facility.

Friendly animals and positive customer reviews are not sufficient evidence of a specific welfare certification or standard.

Older visitors and people who prefer less walking

Puppy Farm can still be enjoyable if your main interests are flowers, plants, and watching animals.

However, the grounds include slopes and paths between different activity areas.

Trying to visit both farms quickly may be tiring.

Consider spending 90 minutes to two hours exploring a few nearby sections instead of attempting everything.

Ask staff whether electric transfers are operating and which areas are easiest to access.

How much time do you need at Puppy Farm?

For a first visit, 2.5-3 hours is a good target.

With only 45 minutes, you may be able to visit one section, but you will miss much of what the entrance ticket offers.

On the other hand, you do not need an entire day if your main interests are dogs and flowers.

Suggested three-hour morning itinerary

This is a suggested visiting order, not an official activity schedule.

1. 8:15-8:30 AM

   Arrive and buy tickets

   Arrive at Puppy Farm, buy tickets, and ask about the dog schedule and transportation to Farm 2.

2. 8:30-9:15 AM

   Dog area

   Visit the dog interaction area. Spend time observing the dogs, petting those that approach willingly, and taking photographs.

3. 9:15-9:50 AM

   Capybaras and other animals

   Explore the capybara enclosure and other animal areas. This also gives children a change of pace after the busier dog section.

4. 9:50-10:30 AM

   Gardens and tropical plants

   Walk through the flower gardens and tropical plant areas. Focus on whichever sections look best on the day.

5. 10:30-11:15 AM

   Farm 2 or one activity

   Visit the greenhouses at Farm 2 or choose one optional activity. If you want to pick strawberries, check the price and rules first.

6. 11:15-11:30 AM

   Back to town for lunch

   You can finish and return to central Da Lat for lunch.

Families with young children should treat these times as flexible.

If a child gets tired, skip one section rather than rushing to keep up with the schedule.

Afternoon itinerary

Arrive around 1:15 PM and enter the dog area after the 1:30 PM session begins.

From approximately 2:15 PM to 4:00 PM, explore the animal enclosures, gardens, and greenhouses.

Try optional activities only if the group still has enough energy and the operators are accepting visitors.

If it rains, ask staff which sections remain open.

There is no reason to follow your original schedule when the weather makes certain outdoor activities uncomfortable or unavailable.

What is the best season to visit Puppy Farm?

Puppy Farm operates throughout the year, but the experience is noticeably different on dry and rainy days.

From approximately November to April, Da Lat generally has more dry days.

This period is more convenient for walking around the farm, taking outdoor photographs, and participating in hillside activities.

During the rainy season, wet paths, slopes, and outdoor sections can make the visit less comfortable.

Light rain does not necessarily mean the entire attraction will close.

You may still be able to visit greenhouses and sheltered areas, but dog interactions or certain recreational activities may be adjusted.

If heavy rain is forecast for most of the day, consider moving your visit to another date.

A large part of Puppy Farm's appeal comes from outdoor experiences, and prolonged rain can reduce what you can comfortably see.

For photography, there is no need to chase a single flower season.

The farm changes its plantings and landscaping over time.

Recent photographs taken close to your visit date are more useful than old promotional images.

Food, drinks, and rest areas at Puppy Farm

Puppy Farm has refreshment services and places where visitors can take a break.

You can stop for a drink after the dog interaction session or before heading to Farm 2.

Drinks cost approximately VND 25,000-60,000.

However, do not assume the farm offers the same food selection as a large shopping mall or restaurant complex.

If you are traveling with young children, have breakfast before leaving your hotel and bring drinking water for the family.

Do not use human snacks to feed the dogs, capybaras, or other farm animals.

A visit from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM fits comfortably with returning downtown for lunch.

If you plan to stay longer, ask about food availability shortly after entering so you can organize the day accordingly.

Safety tips for visiting Puppy Farm with children

Meeting animals can be enjoyable, but it is important to follow the rules rather than assuming every animal is comfortable with human contact.

Before entering the dog area, explain to children how to approach a dog, touch it gently, and stop when it does not want attention.

Do not allow children to chase dogs, pull their ears or tails, or wrap their arms tightly around a dog's neck.

Avoid putting a child's face close to a dog's mouth for a photograph.

After touching or feeding animals, wash hands thoroughly with soap and running water before eating.

Young children should not put unwashed hands in their mouths.

For activities such as tubing and go-karting, check the posted height, age, and safety requirements.

Do not decide that a ride is suitable for your child simply because another child appears to be using it.

Comfortable trainers or shoes with good grip are more practical than high heels.

Bring a light jacket, hat, and compact raincoat so you can adjust to Da Lat's changing weather.

Can you combine Puppy Farm with other Da Lat attractions?

Yes, but do not treat Puppy Farm as a 30-minute stop in an already crowded itinerary.

The farm is located along the Cam Ly - Mang Lin direction, so it can be combined with another attraction around Van Thanh if you have enough time.

For families with young children, a simple schedule is usually better.

Visit Puppy Farm in the morning, have lunch, take a break, and decide afterward whether everyone has enough energy for another stop.

Groups of friends can spend half a day at Puppy Farm before heading to a viewpoint or café.

This is easier to manage than arranging three or four ticketed attractions back to back.

If you have only two days in Da Lat, decide whether Puppy Farm matches your group's interests rather than visiting it simply because it appears on popular sightseeing lists.

A family that loves animals may want to make it the main attraction of the morning.

A group more interested in hiking and natural scenery may prefer to spend that time elsewhere.

When should you skip Puppy Farm?

Puppy Farm offers many experiences, but it is not the right attraction for everyone.

Visitors with severe animal allergies or a strong fear of dogs may not enjoy its main activity.

There are flower gardens and greenhouses, but animals remain an important part of the experience.

People looking for untouched natural scenery should also adjust their expectations.

Puppy Farm includes landscaped photo areas, recreational facilities, and other commercial tourism features.

Families with members who have difficulty walking should check accessibility before buying tickets.

Not every path will be as level or convenient as a hotel corridor.

Another situation is arriving at the wrong time.

If you are only free between noon and 1:00 PM and your sole purpose is meeting the dogs, do not make a special trip. That period usually falls within their break.

Finally, people who place a high priority on animal welfare should investigate the conditions before purchasing admission.

Promotional images and positive visitor reviews do not replace clear information about animal care.

What should you confirm before visiting?

Ticket prices, schedules, and attraction inclusions can change.

You do not need to spend hours researching a straightforward visit, but a few details are worth confirming.

First, check admission prices and the height limits for children's tickets.

Third-party websites may still display old prices or promotional tickets with different conditions.

Second, confirm the dog interaction schedule.

This is especially important if meeting the dogs is your main reason for visiting or if rain is forecast.

Third, ask what admission to Farm 1 and Farm 2 currently includes.

Find out whether tubing is unlimited, whether there are separate activity tickets, and whether go-karting costs extra.

Finally, families should check whether electric transport between the farms is operating and whether any animal enclosures or rides have restrictions.

The farm's phone number is +84 263 3709 333.

You can also check announcements from Nong Trai Cun - Puppy Farm for recent photographs and operating updates.

Open Google Maps and save Nong Trai Cun - Puppy Farm on Cam Ly Road in Mang Lin. Plan to arrive around 8:15 AM or 1:15 PM, and call +84 263 3709 333 before leaving to confirm admission prices, dog interaction hours, and current activity inclusions.
