Best Zoo in Malaysia

H	Hafiz Hussin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
P	PT S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
D	Derrick Ng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
Z	Zul Shinoda on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
K	Kim Chee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
M	Mohd Razif Jamaludin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
M	Moin Quazi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.
K	Khalid Mohamad Amin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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
