Night Safari — worth it or zoo gimmick?

Night Safari (800–1,200 baht combo tram) beats daytime zoo for kids — predators active, tram ride exciting. Buy tram + walking zone; skip overpriced photo holds. 30 min from city, Grab 250 baht. Weeknight less crowded. Not ethical like ENP — manage expectations on animal welfare. Plan 3–4 hrs with dinner at onsite market. Combine not same day as ENP — both long.
