A natural history museum very close to the park headquarters, which includes a park-run outdoor wildlife rehabilitation center for bears, gibbons, deer, and possibly other animals. Don't get your hopes up too much - previous visitors have reported that it was overcrowded because of limited funds (and lots of rescued bears), while at a recent glance in the gates it wasn't clear if there were many animals at all. May include a tour and only be available at certain times - ask ahead if it's important to you. There is now a new, larger Cat Tien Bear Sanctuary that seems to be only accessible by appointment - it's unclear whether the original center still house bears or not. It is interesting to compare the approaches taken by Go East (see "Do") and the national park. (There is also a gibbon rehab enclosure directly behind the park reception building, which you can get a distant glimpse of from the bathroom area or the bike rental center; wild gibbons, by some accounts those previously released from here, often come to visit and can be spotted in the surrounding trees.)
