    I always like zoos and Malaysia's Zoo Negara was no disappointment. All my favourites were there, plus some unexpected bonuses such as (I think this is correct) the sinister-looking Marabou Stork - made famous by Irvin Welsh's contraversial novel.

    The otter's were gorgeous and kept coming to make friends with us. The zoo has afternoon shows and I believe they do elephant rides for children as well - but Jonathan said I'm just too old to get away with that!

    The reptile house was cool - it had symbols for snakes that held a mild venom, another for snakes with a nastier nip, and a nice black skull for those which could kill you in 30 seconds. It also gave details of the reptiles native lands - a rather alarming number mentioned Malaysia! (although - I have to say - we didn't see a snake outside the zoo)

    National Zoo: Zoo
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am not very keen about animals but I was asked to see the zoo in Kuala Lumpur. I gathered some information about from my hotel and found out that Zoo Negara is located 13km from Kuala Lumpur at Jalan Hulu Kelang. The beauty of this zoo stands out due to the presence of Aquarium, which is located next to it.
    Both the Zoo and Aquarium are open daily from 9am to 6pm. Admission: RM5 (Adult), RM2 (Child).

    National Zoo: National Zoo (Zoo Negara)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Besides Taiping Zoo, this used to be one of my favorite zoos in Malaysia. Now there is also a zoo in Melaka.

    There were plans to move the zoo due to the rapid urban development in Ulu Klang where this old zoo is located. The zoo conditions needs improvement and better maintenance.

    Still if you want to see orangutan, gibbon, hornbill. tapir, elephant, Malayan tiger, Malayan sunbear, porcupine, crocodile and mousedeer, it worth a trip to come here.

    National Zoo: Visiting the KL ZOO
  • Tip Rating:
  • Many nice animals and go sure, this is one of the best greatest Zoo's in Asia. Most of the animals have great space to walk and live, not to compare with Zoo's in Beijing or something like that.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Take a day out and go to the zoo. Even if you're not into animals, the park it's in is worth a visit, especially the little lake with its snack bars, paddle boats, and lazy atmosphere.

    Photo: The Lake with the the paddle boats, a favorite week-end haunt of K.L. families.
