EVERYONE agrees that going to the zoo is the most enjoyable activity you can experience with your loved ones, family, or even friends. You’ll get to see a variety of animals and have an unforgettable day out that you’ll remember for a long time.
Despite the fact that Kuala Lumpur has numerous theme parks and outdoor spaces, nothing compares to paying a visit to Zoo Negara.
Officially opened in November 1963, Zoo Negara is home to approximately 400 species of Malaysian and exotic mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds.
Located 13km from the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the 110-acre open-concept zoo is dedicated to the conservation, recreation, education, and research of a wide variety of animal and plant species, including endangered and exotic species such as Orangutans, Malayan Tigers, and Tapirs, among others.
Not only is the zoo a must-see for tourists visiting Kuala Lumpur, but it’s also a great place for anyone especially if you’re an animal lover, or if you’re travelling with children!
For many Malaysians it is also a favourite weekend and holiday getaway location. But before planning your wonderful trip to Zoo Negara, you should take a look at this visitor’s guide:
