About Lion Land Phuket
Lion Land Phuket stands out in Headout’s collection of animal encounters, offering an immersive, interactive experience with lions of all ages. Whether you’re a family, adventure seeker, or wildlife enthusiast, this park promises unforgettable moments—like petting cubs or learning about lion ecology—making it a must-visit on any Phuket itinerary.
Lion Land Phuket is the island’s first and only dedicated lion park, opening its doors in August 2024.
The park’s star attraction is Nafis, a rare white lion, making Lion Land one of the few places in Asia to meet a white lion up close.
Visitors can choose encounters based on lion age and size, from 2-month-old cubs to nearly adult 'teen' lions up to 48 months old.
All lion sessions are guided, with strict safety protocols—each enclosure visit is overseen by two handlers and includes a safety briefing.
Admission fees directly support the lions’ care, including regular veterinary checks and enrichment activities for animal welfare.
