    It is stated as 'Open' on google map. but when i was there just now at 11 it is still closed. Deceiving betul. I called nobody pick up also. Can see many people was there and get disappointed. Paid grab for nothing.

    Worth visiting. Entrance fee is just RM2 for adult. It's a mini zoo, not much to see. Can easily spend an hour here. Some of the displays have been upgraded, so that's good. There's no designated parking lot, so park at your own risk. I suggest visiting early because the weather will be hot during noon.

    RM 2 adult entrance fee, children half the price! Absolutely value for money! Of cos, this is a small Zoo. No fancy nor exotic animals, but for RM 2 we are not complaining. My kids totally enjoy the visit. Parking is free too, just park along the roadside. Love this place.

    This place is CLOSED FOR PUBLIC so i hope anyone out there especially foreign tourist could took the time to read the google review, as i saw few times, tourist WALK to the zoo but to no avail. Kinda sad but thats the truth. As for myself, i occasionally go there with my kids just to roam outside the gate and watch few animals like the flamingos, deer, hyppo, ostrich, and one β€œmonkey species”. Also goose and stork birds and fat turtle. You can see clearly if the trees along the fences are cut off, and vice versa. Good enough to entertain my kids when they need to watch the animal. Plus, my husband’s workplace is just near.

    The zoo is considered small compared to other zoo that I've been. But suprisingly, there are a lot of animals. I advise to visit between 9am to 11am as some nocturnal animals still awake. The zoo gave opportunities for the public to feed their deers and camels. Would be a great experience for kids.

  • 5/5 NAMM y. 3 years ago on Google
    Very cheap entrance for RM2 (Adults) and RM1 (kids). Small compact zoo with birds and wild animals such as tigers and lions. There are few camels as well. Mini stalls selling fruits, drinks, burgers and junk food. Not recommend to bring stroller as most of the area with stairs. Finding parking would be challenging as the is not proper parking space. Just park at the roadside or mosque area up in the hill.

    Got kicked out after an amazing 1hour. Was told by workers it was open but got kicked out by an angry toothless staff who could not enunciate basic sentences but was quite good at screaming.

  • 5/5 Restu R. 4 years ago on Google
    With the price you paid, it was really worth it.. RM2 (Rp6800) for adult and RM1 (3400) for kid... A lot of animals variety. However, I am sure we are okay to triple that amount for admission, but upgrade the place more.. Consider it is zoo for apprentice, the kids will be happy to be up close with the animals. Forget Singapore over priced zoo! Definitely..

    Got lots of improvement compare to the past. Some of the zoo facilities are still under renovation. There are rooms of improvemet in the aspect of cleanliness in the animals habitat especially the water and pond that provided to animals is full of algae. Hope the authority can make it better!

    A small zoo that one can complete visiting within one or two hours. But that does not mean there is not much to see. In fact, its quite interesting and well worth the time and entry fee which is quite cheap at RM2 per adult.

    It's a pretty okay zoo. Despite all the no littering signs, people still litter. The place seems dirty, especially the walls. Maybe a new coat of paint would do. Overall quite cheap and has decent range of animals. 2rm for adult tickets.

  • 3/5 Fong D. 3 years ago on Google
    The zoo is a decent place to bring along with your family and kids whenever you are in JB.. The entrance fee is only rm2 and absolutely cheap. The vibes felt old fashioned and there are not too much attractions offered. Need to come here at least once in your lifetime and its totally worth it.

    I was so excited to come back to see the animals here once i saw the status on google and its facebook that is open but sadly when we arrived it is still closed. still rated 5 stars for those cute animals which i came to visit them 4 years back. Should the zoo organizer update the information properly because there were a lot of family who brought their children to visit the zoo but disappointed. πŸ˜•

    Still closed and any info given on their Facebook page is inaccurate. Hopefully the admins there can do the basic update and send the information properly. Don’t ever come here unless you wanna waste your Grab fare. The place is undergoing a full renovation.

  • 5/5 Esther Har (. 1 year ago on Google
    Have a lot of animals inside the zoo. It is a good place to bring your children here. The entrance fee is also cheap. You can directly purchase the ticket at the counter.

  • 1/5 Neha Siena C. 1 year ago on Google
    Despite their commonly cited benefits, zoos are no home sweet home for animals. Even at their best, they can never replicate or replace animals’ chosen and natural habitats. Animals have very limited space and their natural instincts like are either like running, roaming, flying, climbing, foraging, choosing a mate, raising a family, and being with others of their species get reduced drastically or taken away completely. The loud noise from the visitors can be disturbing for animals and instigate them to act ferociously. This natural instinct to defend themself (instigated by our stupidity) is then classified as dangerous. You can't expect wild animals to be tamed. If you wanna learn about animals, make them watch documentaries.

    Still closed as other zoos have opened. Weird SOPs here at Johor.

    No clear signage that it was closed, entered without knowing and got chased out by a very angry construction worker! Least he could do was kindly tell us it was closed and not scream! TERRIBLE
