The Zoo is fairly large and well stocked. The Night safari adds a frission of excitement as the tram takes us around. However, unlike many other safaris, there is never the feeling of seeing free animals, they are decidedly in cages. Even so, it exciting to see the Malayan tiger, other less knowm predators of South East Asia and the... More

Great zoo! Very enjoyable walk through the zoo, almost like walking through a park. Weather was great, just bear in mind to bring some repellent with you. We took our time and took around 3 1/2 - 4 hours to see everything. Would recommend to animal lovers.

Went there about 11 o'clock... SAD2 cause most of the big ones sleeping after eating. A kind worker inside told us to come about 9am in the morning..Its feeding time. So we can see them in action. Night safari is ok..You just sit on the train and it pulls you everywhere. The one I sat on, did not have proper... More

For me the best part of this Zoo was the lush greens that provided good shelter from the hot sun though some enclosures could use a trim. We are able to get a more intimate view of the decent animal collection including mammals large and tiny like marmosets, deers, rhinos, elephants, monkeys, chimpz, orang utans, panthers, goars, wallaby, giraffe, lions,...

Visited the zoo again after many years. The Zoo is still a great place to visit, animals are active and fun to watch. A few cages no longer have any animal and are not well taken care of. Be careful of the free roaming monkeys though. Some of them can come chasing after you, especially when they are in a... More

The one n only night safari. My children enjoy it very much. Although overall places was poorly lit but my kids manage to recognize most of the animals. The tram also provided free of charge and will give you a 2.5km all round tour. We even took another round of tram tour. It took about 1/2hr to complete the tour.... More
