Details

Sprawled over 45 hectares of land, Zoo Negara Malaysia was established in 1963. It is the first zoo in the nation to achieve ISO 9001:2000 certification.

The zoo has an open concept, where up to 90% of its animals are kept in spacious areas with landscaping that resembles their natural habitat.

Sea lions and macaws are part of the twice-daily Multi-Animal Show. The Multi-Animal Photo Corner, which opens on weekends, is located by the zoo’s main entrance. Here, visitors may have their photos taken with miniature horses, snakes, birds and more.

Hop aboard the zoo’s tram and spend the day observing tapirs, hippopotamuses, slow loris, Malay civets, pumas, leopards, raccoons, striped hyenas, Binturong, Malayan Sun Bears and more!
