    A bit disappointing because many of the cages were under maintenance, there were no animal present. Almost 30 to 40 percent empty. The google maps show 8 am morning time but zoo opens at 8 30. Tram ride included in ticket . The tram drivers in the morning will take up late and hence you need to wait more to be able to take it. The best way is to take a whole trip of tram first to see areas of interest and then take a walking tour. Spend more time between 9 to 11 as it is their feeding time.

    My all time favourite place to visit when I’m in Taiping. Well maintained, well run. The layout makes the flow very easy to follow. It’s a great experience. The lions are spectacular. The enclosures look old, but they still feel safe. We had the pleasure of witnessing the zookeepers feeding the animals. Wouldn’t trade that experience with anything else in the world

    What a great zoo. Fascinating animals who are well taken care of. But I would advise to NOT take the tour train through the zoo. It goes past the animals too fast so you hardly get to see anything. We got off early after missing a few animals and enjoyed a really nice walk. There are lots of trees so enough shade and very nice if you go early in the morning

    This zoo is well maintained enough to put the KL's Zoo Negara to complete shame. Initially went for the Night Safari, which was alright, although I could hardly see much of anything. The zoo guide would shine their high powered beam torches at the animals to point them out to visitors, not something I agree with, but then again, you won't spot them otherwise. But the Night Safari wasn't enough, so I went again the next day early in the morning. Much better in the morning as it is quieter (not so hot too) and one can really appreciate the entire landscape of the zoo and animals. If you have the patience for it, there's an EV bus that does its rounds every 2 hours (or so I'm told) that starts from the Taiping Zoo and then round all the Heritage Trail areas around Taiping town. Grab Car to most places costs about RM 5 per way (more or less).

    Very good Zoo. Especially kids enjoy their lot. You can visit Zoo by food or by tram, tram is free included in tickets. By foot you can explore more. Adult( above 12 year) tickets are RM 16, kids and senior citizen tickets are RM 8.

    A bit crowded even on weekdays (school holidays). The entrance fee was RM15 per person. We hopped on the tram. It was quite a queue but the trams service was handled efficiently so the wait was not that long. The animals looked comfortable and well fed. We had a good time there.

    For the price paid, I think its a very good time to spend with family here. Only downside were some areas were closed. Also suggestion to have events throughout the day such as feeding spectacle or something more engaging with visitors. Animals looked like were taken good care of. Overall, it was satisfying visit.

    Taiping Zoo is established in 1961, and it is the oldest zoo in Malaysia. Taiping Zoo is a great place to visit especially for family with young kids. They can gain some knowledge about zoo and animals. Our family visited Taiping Zoo last Saturday at 2pm. Upon arrival in the zoo, it started to rain. Luckily we brought umbrellas cause we know Taiping is famous as Rain Town. First we took a whole trip of tram, this enabled us to familiar with the surroundings. After seeing areas of interest, we took a walking tour. We spent around 3 hours there. We are lucky to see most of the animals there. Most of them are old but healthy. Happy to see most animals are having freedom in this zoo, especially monkeys. I love Taiping Zoo for always full of greeneries as a result of huge rainfall in Taiping. Would come back to visit again with our family.

    This is a must visit place in Taiping. Because this could be one of the best zoos in Malaysia. It is small in terms of area but packed in terms of what you can see. Tiger, lion, giraffe, zebra, orangutan, elephant, gorilla, hippopotamus, rhino, crocodile, deer, and many more. Me and family thoroughly enjoyed the visit. We spent around an hour on this activity.

    Went to Night Safari. Adult RM20, Kids RM10. There is a Tram to cover the Safari. Guide is friendly and helpful. Ride time around 20-30 minutes. Slight drizzle but the tram is covered. No food shop open at night. Bring water as the weather quite warm.

    This zoo is much more enjoyable than the KL zoo. Much cheaper as well. The animals here are livelier and the environment they are kept in are conducive. It could do with some upkeep but otherwise overall I would recommend this zoo.

    A wonderful place to see various kind of animals species.. Try going early in to avoid huge crowds.. Take the long train for free. There will be some staff asking to take another private train tour for RM10.00. Ticket price for adults is RM16.00 Park your vehicle at the A zone and a one time entry fee of RM3.00 will be imposed or you can park further down for free but at own risk.

    Taiping Zoo is a zoological park located at Bukit Larut, Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. Established in 1961, Taiping Zoo is the oldest zoo in Malaysia. It is one of the major zoological parks in Malaysia. It covers 36 acres and exhibits 1300 animals representing 180 species of amphibians, mammals, and reptiles. Taiping Night Safari is a unique tourism product where the animals that are active at night were showcased using special lighting imitating the moonlight. It's was enjoyable especially for kids.

    Just a big tourist scam! What a shame. Nation first ever zoo status didnt even gave the justice to it. Worst experience ever. Overcrowded. Non compliance with the SOP. Not well maintain. Dirty and smelly restroom. Staff looks deject and unmotivated. And the most things that was extreme disappointed is There's No Animal At All! What is the point visiting or having a zoo without the animal? Despite most of the cage or zone was unattended and totally dismal. Can really felt all the visitor frustration towards the zoo management. They collect the entry fee, by thousand! Almost everyday, then neglected the park, the animal, their staff and so on. Nothing good point myself or my children got from this bloody useless trip. By all mean, PLEASE AVOID, STAY AWAY OR CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ZOO MANAGEMENT. Safe your money, go to the park.

    Very recommended to come early in the morning and afternoon because all the animals are in good mood having their breakfast and lunch and playing!! And the bonus is, you can ask the zookeepers that on duty to explain certain animal that they responsible to. Plus, some of them have been given names by the zookeepers and that is very cute and loveable. I am so happy to spend my time here with my family before the pandemic started.

    Clean zoo. Parking is easy as it is just next to it RM3/ entry. Plenty of washrooms throughout the zoo. There are two trails. It’s a loop so won’t get lost. Paved roads where free train rides passes regularly. Took about 2 hours to walk through everything at a leisurely pace. Plenty of trees to provide shade. One small convenience shop inside which sells snacks and drinks.

    Taiping Zoo is a fantastic place to visit, especially for families with young kids who are looking to gain some knowledge about zoo animals. Established in 1961, it is the oldest zoo in Malaysia, and it is easy to see why it has stood the test of time. I recently visited Taiping Zoo and was impressed with the overall experience. Even though it started to rain upon our arrival, we were prepared with umbrellas because we know Taiping is famous for being a rain town. Despite the rain, we spent around 3 hours exploring the zoo and had a great time. One of the things that stood out to me about Taiping Zoo is how well the animals are taken care of. Most of them are old, but healthy, and it is evident that they are being well-cared for. It was a joy to see the animals in their natural habitats and moving around freely, especially the monkeys. Another thing I loved about Taiping Zoo is the abundance of greenery, which is a result of the heavy rainfall in Taiping. It adds to the overall beauty and natural feel of the zoo, making it a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, I highly recommend Taiping Zoo to anyone looking for a fun and educational day out with their family. With its rich history and great selection of animals, it is definitely worth a visit. I know I will be back soon to explore more of what the zoo has to offer!

    Its great for a local council to have a zoo and plenty of families brought their children. My first time visiting. Pricing for locals is affordable. Its nice to have the speed run of the zoo with the "train/tram" ride. Gives a short bearing as I was not provided a map. Sadly many of the exhibits are quite run down or not bigger in size. Many of the grazers have bare enclosures, the water murky, the otter enclosure without fresh water. The chimp enclosure lacks shading. You can see most of the animals are hiding from the sun with whatever shade they had. Some enclosures had 1 poor animal in it. Many others either empty and overgrown or "something exciting coming soon" Floater plants overgrown in the water/ponds. Was supposed to look at fishes under the cover of floaters. What logic. All in all, I'm surprised they still had a selection of animals to view, although skinny and not in great conditions. Put me in the dilemma of do we cage animals for eduction or do we let them live freely?

    For the price of the ticket at RM 20/adult ( for the night zoo), it was a worthwhile trip. The weather was cool and comfortable for a night stroll. The animals like the lions, tigers, hyenas and panthers were awake and walking about. The buggy ride was included in the ticket price and the driver we got was informative and very entertaining! We even got up close with the white swans and the grey crowned crane. Overall a great trip! The only downside was the maintenance of the toilets within the zoo.. do use the toilet at the entrance. Bought the tickets online, easy and convenient.

    I went for night safari. There are tram provided. Unfortunately the tram will only pass the animal. Not stop for a while. And most animal are sleeping and couldn't see clearly. The price is rm 16 per person. If you can walk and wanna see the animal clearly then after taking the tram u should walk. But bring your own torchlight. Its a fun experience though.

    Excellent facilities and environment!! The animals are healthy and obviously very well taken care of. I was honestly surprised at the high quality/standard of the zoo vs the very affordable entrance fee. My only regret is missing out on the night safari, but am already planning a trip back to Taiping just for the zoo!

    Very accessible for those travelling on the North south highway. It's less than 15km from the Taiping exit with fairly light traffic on a weekday afternoon. It was unfortunate that many exhibits were unable (presumably due to prolonged covid lockdown and lack of visitors), but most of the animals seemed fairly healthy and well taken care of. Variety is well above average for a non national zoo! Ticket buying was easy, accepting cash and QR pay, and entrance fees were very affordable, RM16/RM8 (adult/child). Parking is available for RM3 per entry, but very limited spots though. The zoo is pedestrian friendly, with smooth tarmac for those with strollers or wheelchair. Public toilets are scattered throughout the circuit was well. With a casual stroll, allocate about 90-100 minutes. Night Safari is available as well, with separate ticket/fees. Overall a pleasant experience.

    Large collection of animals so well worth a visit. RM16 for adults, RM8 for children and seniors. Best to take a slow walk around to see everything though there is a noisy land train which whizzes past. Some enclosures are empty but lots to see and spend at least a couple of hours.

    Little aquarium with impressive array of cichlids and guppies. These include green , blue , slender chiclids, and the very adorable tiny blue parrot cichlids. Also, not to be missed is the tank full of beautiful freshwater Angel fish. Fighting fish. Shop well ventilated and clean. *Back part of aquarium is currently closed off for optimal breeding of fishes in a quiet environment.

    No waiting in ticketing and entering for us. For Tram need to wait a while. There are different types of tram, some are good and some are just okay to ride. You can't choose which one, just need to go which you get. Enjoyed the visit. Went first in tram and got an idea about zoo and went one round by walk. Water near the animals are stinky not sure when they clean. It is good to keep it clean!

    Overall, I think it's a great place to visit, especially with kids. There are fewer visitors on weekdays, and I recommend going around 8 to 9 am when it's not too hot. They have a car park across from the Zoo, which costs RM3 per entry.

    Nice experience at this zoo. We started off on a train ride to get a sense of the layout and subsequently walked to see some animals up close. We went during the day where most animals would be sleeping. Would not mind going back again for the Night Safari option. Not much food options, suggest to eat prior to going...

    Me and my two teens had a great visit at the zoo. The animals had a lot of space and were in their natural environment. Our highlight was the Malayan tiger. It’s a short walk from town through the lovely Taiping lake. We were able to cover most of the grounds in over an hour. It’s worth a visit if you like wildlife.

    Quite a good experience since it had been a long since I last visited the Taiping zoo. Adult ticket price if RM 16/pax and RM8/pax for senior citizens. Recommended to bring the kids during their school holidays as it would be a good experience for them to have a real and closer look at animals. Saw many little ones who were fascinated with those animals. The overall maintenance was quite good but was kinda disappointed that there were many animals missing. The main animals such as elephants, tiger, deer, zebras, zirafah, lions, crocodiles and etc. were there. We took buggy as there were senior citizen with us. The buggy driver was friendly and able to pronounce the animal names in Tamil as well. That was easier for older people to recognise it. The journey in the buggy was less than 1 hour. Walking probably would take 2 hours. The overall experience was good for the money.

    The zoo is huge and full of many interesting animals from various places around the world. From different type of fowls, aquatic animals to land animals. People who enjoy nature will enjoy taking photos at here. Children will be thrilled throughout the zoo. Among many animals in the zoo are tigers, lions, elephant 🐘, crocodile 🐊, snakes, zebra 🦓, wallabie, 🦌 deers, giraffe 🦒 and many other animals. There are public restrooms but not clean. Parking is spacious and we have to pay RM3. The whole area surrounded by lush green scenery make it worth the trip.

    Great education for kids. Highly recommend the night safari as activity for kids as there is train ride to see the animals doing their nightly activities. Walking one round with kids is not recommended as it takes more than 2 hours. Tram was full during a weekday night. Can imagine the popularity and queue during a weekend night.

    4 stars for the service of the staff. 2 stars for the welfare of the animals & for the smoke released by tram. Not too many animals to be sighted comparedto 5 years ago & most of the animals do is sleep & being fed. Go in the morning to catch feeding session. The animals need more space to roam & donations I guess. There are ppl seen vaping & smoking around park. Plz follow the rules!

    Huge place. No matter how many people were there, espacially during this covid time, place could accommodate the crowd easily. Good overall compliance of SOPs by people. Loads of tree shade. No Public toilets proper signage and they seemed bad. Trams didnt seem interesting as they wouldn't stop to show you animals or take pictures with. You view gets blocked by people walking anyway so wouldn't recommend it. About 2 hours easily to walk it all the way to end. Alot of animals missing / closed for maintainance, hope that is not always the case. Best to go morning or evening time. We made a mistake and went afternoon around lunch and most animals were just sleeping / inactive hidden under shades and all. Overall a good place to go for sure.

    It was a famous and busy once upon a time with lots of animals but due to the pandemic the area was quiet (plus point for visitor) and certain animals are not in display, the number of some species are also not much. Maintenance need to be done in order to attract more visitors in future.

    After 10months PKP, it is so good to find peace and bring your family to get close to the nature. I recommend you to come early in the morning, less people, avoid peak hours from 10am onwards since the parking lot are limited and number of cars increasing around Taman Tasik Taiping. You can choose to ride Tram in the zoo, it's free but you cant have the true experience of watching the animals because it is moving quite fast. There is a cafe inside the zoo and toilets. However, the toilets are quite dirty 😅 Anyway, have fun!

    Went to Night Safari. It was just the day zoo but with terrible lighting at night. It was a nice experience since looking at animals at night has this nice ambience. You can walk or take the train which is a terrible idea. If you take the train, you get the zoo staff to annotate for you but its so noisy, they are scaring the animals away. You should walk to see the animals at your own leisurely pace. I completed the full night safari within 2 hours. I only get to see the smaller animals when there are no one around because it’s quiet. The Fennex foxes didn’t even want to come out until it’s quiet. Got lucky and snapped some photos.

    You can buy the tickets online ahead and show the QR codes at the entrance. Take the tour guided tram first to have a ride around the zoo and get a feel of how you want to take a stroll later (2.5km). There are a lot of shades, rest rooms, resting areas available scattered around the area. Animals don't look energetic (poor them).

    Night safari was a totally new experience. While there is a ride, walking is a great option since you can see the animals better. Take note that the road is quite dark but simple to navigate. Surprisingly, there were no mosquitoes during my visit. Visiting the dholes, otters, and the hyena is a must.

    The last I came to Taiping Zoo is 15 yrs ago(-+), it's still a best place for children and us. As a Malaysian, I have to bring child to visit Taiping Zoo to see the real animals bit not just on YouTube. The entrance fees reasonable. Inside zoo have food to sell too, so no worries about meals. Toilets can found in few places.

    ⭐⭐⭐ Zoo Taiping offers an enjoyable day out for families and wildlife enthusiasts. The variety of animals on display is impressive, and the conservation efforts are commendable. It's heartwarming to see the dedication to preserving endangered species. The zoo's spacious layout and lush surroundings create a pleasant atmosphere, making it an enjoyable place to explore. The educational signs add to the experience by providing valuable insights into the animal kingdom. However, there are some areas that need improvement. Firstly, some animals are not available for viewing, which can be disappointing. Secondly, the state of the waters, with murky lakes and less-than-optimal maintenance, detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, certain areas of the landscaping, particularly untrimmed bushes, could use improvement for a more visually appealing environment. On a positive note, the parking fee of RM 3 per day is reasonable, but be prepared for a short 5-minute walk from the parking area to the zoo entrance. Despite these shortcomings, Zoo Taiping remains a viable option for those interested in wildlife and conservation. With some enhancements, it has the potential to become an even more enjoyable and educational experience. ⭐⭐⭐ All photos are credited to Google Image

    Very nice zoo. Kids love the tram and close distance with wild animals. During my visit, the toilet is under renovation, so suggest to go toilet at the entrance before start your journey.

    Maybe it's not the best zoo, but it was an amazing trip for my 6yo boy. My son was so excited to see so many REAL animals rather than from iPad.

  • 3/5 Kang Siew E. 3 years ago on Google
    Visiting night safari w tram is difficult to see the species and most of them are resting/hiding away. Can't hear the guide with the lousy speaker. Talk a walk under the moonlight will make one experience better!

    Third time datang. Oklah kalau ikut harga tiket. Antara zoo yang murah dan okay di Malaysia. Tapi boleh dah persatuan zoo zoo Malaysia ni buat sesuatu nak jadikan zoo kat Malaysia ni top macam negara luar. Sampai bila nak jadi zoo lepas tekak, haiwan ada tapi macam takde. Kebersihan so so. Toilet lagilah out. Orang bagi review tu tolong la improve.

    Took the night safair package with a bunch of friends which we thoroughly enjoyed, you'd be given a pretty okay tour around the zoo in a tram, and could later just walk about assuming you're not afraid of the dark! Loved the panthers, extremely beautiful animals. The animals look well fed which in my honest opinion is a very good sign. My feedback of improvement would be to clean-up the entrance area, make it a little bit more marketable and enticing for visitors.

    entrance fee is RM16 for adults at this time of purchase.. there is a paid parking area outside..there is a decent variety of animals in the zoo.. unfortunately most animals are hidden or sleeping..larger animals like giraffe, deers and elephant are easiest to spot and seem to be more active but its located at the end of the zoo..the zoo it self isn't well maintain..lots of broken lamps along path way..benches covered in algae and plants.. over flowing trash.. the fences are bright green with the amount of algae on it..dirty water in ponds.. some even covered in algae..this would haven been a better experience if it was properly maintained.. if you are bringing kids, it's better to not let them get to close to fences and glass window.. or at least wash-up properly at the end of the day..

  • 3/5 Jenny L. 3 years ago on Google
    Visited on 31st Dec 2020. The animals look well taken care off but their 'habitats' maintenance can be better. Hope the management will improve on the landscaping as well.

The good thing you can use the tram for free, ( yes it will not stop to take photos) but you can walk after taking the tram and enjoy your time. ( we took tram then walked). Very friendly staffs. It is good for solo, couples, and family with children. They need to add shows to be more attractive, maybe during our visits they don’t have that. Enjoy your time.😉

    The place was a bit rundown during the time of visit. The range of animals on display was very limited and it seems that the place has poor maintenance and the animals seem lethargic all the time. The only upside is one of the few birds which managed to escape out of their boundaries and interacts freely with the visitors.

  • 3/5 Hammond L. 2 years ago on Google
    Located next to Taiping lake. A comfortable experience. A bit disappointed that many displays are "under maintenance". However, we still get to see the major animals; elephant, lion and the tiger. Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here. Price is reasonable, we paid RM88 for 3 adults, 2 senior citizens, and 3 children. We were there at 9.30am, and the crowd is already building. By 11am, the car parks were really full.

  • 5/5 Vincent T. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place for family with kids. Visited Taiping Zoo in mid Dec 2021 during weekdays. We arrived early so it's easy to find parking lot. Upon entering the zoo provides free tram rides to tour the zoo quickly for about 15 mins. We got on the tram. The ride was quite fast and sometimes my youngest kid missed the animals. The driver was giving the tour guide but unfortunately the loudspeaker was not functioning well. Towards the end the kids saw the playground. After that, they kept asking to go playground. Thus, I would suggest not to take the ride and instead walk by yourself first until the kids have seen enough animals then they get to play before exiting. The zoo is well maintained and there's a lot to see here. You can easily spend two hours here. Thanks to the staffs who provided food for kids to feed giraffes. One suggestion for the Zoo management is to make sure the hand wash detergents are replenished as this is a public visiting place. For the mean time, you might want to consider preparing one for yourself just in case.

  • 3/5 KH C. 2 years ago on Google
    A day zoo turns into night safari in the evening. Quite a “wild” experience, you can literary touch the giraffe, and buaya are just under your feet. Only wish that overall it can be better maintained, better landscape design while keeping the “wild” factor. The tram driver and visitors should also stop shinning torch light at the lions and tigers and shouting at them. Anyway it’s better to walk than taking the tram (or as some visitors call it, the Covid Express).

  • 5/5 Zeyad A. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice place to visit with your family, especially for your kids. Come around 9.00 am, while they give food for the animals and you can enjoy more as the animals will be more active. Tickets cost RM16 for adults and RM8 for kids.

  • 5/5 Mieza R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely worth the price! I went here with my kids and they loved it to the bone. There are so many useful information they gain and our experienced riding the tram while seeing all the animals inside is the best moment we had ever. We will definitely come again for more excitement.

  • 3/5 Aniza A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's quite a disappointment, this zoo. First of all, the zoo is smaller than I expected. The animals looked depressed in their enclosures, with nothing much to interest or stimulate them, a pitiful sight. They had free buggy trains for you to hop on but I opted to walk one big round, hoping to see the elephants. Strangely, I couldn't find them. They could improve on the signage or provide a map with the tickets bought. Do not visit during the weekend as the crowds were just ridiculous! The sheer volume of people prevented me from enjoying the zoo more. No attempt made by the management for crowd control, what with COVID still active..shocking

  • 4/5 BALA MURUGAN S. 2 years ago on Google
    It has been several years since the last time i was here. We were here early as the zoo opens at 8.30 am. My kids really had good time and we are lucky to see all the animals awake especially lion, tiger as last time mostly were sleeping. The price is also affordable adult rm 16, child & senior citizen at rm 8 each.

  • 5/5 FARID ASWAN I. 1 year ago on Google
    The zoo is kind a bring a nostalgic moment when i was a kid.now i create the moment with my children.It is much better if there is a convenience cafe inside the zoo.It is more helpful if we can buy ticket via debit card as i have to drive quite far just to withdraw some cash. Overall,thumbs up zoo taiping for keeping the zoo well and preserved!!

  • 4/5 Fern G. 1 year ago on Google
    A great variety of animals, who seem happy, well fed, playful and are breeding well. The animals were a lot livelier than I have seen at Western zoos, probably because the climate is more suited to them. It is also great to see so many Malaysian species, many of which I had never seen before. There are plenty of benches and toilets throughout, and a couple of reasonably priced cafes for drinks and snacks. The price is 16 RM, and is the same for Malaysians and foreigners. It is nice to take the free tram around the park to get your bearings, then explore on foot. Plenty of shade so easy to walk around. The negative is that many parts are not well maintained or are closed. The staff also all seem grumpy and I did not see any love for the animals from them like you would normally find at a zoo/ wildlife park.

    1st time here today with kids and it's wonderful 2 hrs + spent here with free tram. Although some are under maintenance, it's indeed worth the visit with many healthy animals. It's more value for money comparing to National zoo.

    The whole experience was amazing. Never been here since I'm in secondary school. They have better facilities and infrastructure for the visitors. My kid loves so much seeing all the animals for the first time. A very good experience and definitely will come again. Kudos to the Zoo Taiping!

    The admission fee is considerably cheap. Good for strolling and educating, the visitor can enjoy nature. The maintenance of the zoo is not doing well, as you could find certain animals not available.

    Great experience but too many under maintenance cages. The animals look healthy, the train service is good but the instructor can give a better service in explaining the trip. The toilet is disgusting, dirty and broken. Please improve this. Thanks

    Nice and very affordable public zoo. It was raining heavily when we arrived and thought about cancelling the visit. However lucky we continued, as the ride with the train was possible and kept us dry. Children were very happy as they could see enough animals, despite only from the moving train. The Zoo keeper / train operator was friendly and explaining the animals and their background story through out the 30 minutes round trip in the zoo. Definitely coming back.

    it’s worth it, price is affordable and you could see the animals at night on the buggy available. you could also walk around the zoo after the buggy ride. maybe bring your own torch light i guess because it’s quite dark and some of the animal tend to hide or sleeping.

    Totally different for the last trip here. A lot of animals were missing. Didn't see any bears. Savannah part was nice with many animals.. zebra,girraffes, elephants. They had kangaroos. The bathroom wasn't clean. Enjoyed free train ride around the zoo.

    Parking maybe limited during weekends or holidays. Do bring umbrella (for occasional showers) and drinking water (expensive inside). It has both lions and tigers inside; not bad at all for ticket at MYR16 per head. Clean and tidy.

    Good place to bring whole family. Kids will enjoy the visit. Better transportation such as e-bikes will be helpful to consider.

    The most impressive zoo I have seen. The animals are well taken care of, there are many of them, the vegetation is wonderful, and everything is surrounded by the mountains. A beautiful setting, one of the best places in Malaysia.

    Hmmm... is a pretty old zoo... everything seem not well maintained. The animals seem healthy. Love the safari part. Cheap price for the tickets. Staffs are friendly. Opposite has a small park. Can play there.
