A zoo opened in 1928, one of Malaysia's oldest, compact and affordable, and suitable for a short family outing.
Johor Zoo was originally the private zoo of the Sultan and was opened to the public in 1962. It is one of Malaysia's oldest zoos and was renovated in the 2020s. The grounds are compact, with tigers, camels, ostriches, deer and many bird species. You can row a boat on the lake in the park, and you can also see the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque in the distance. Admission is about RM10 to 20, and it is open about 09:00 to 18:00. It sits between the mosque and the palace, making it a convenient stop on an old-town tour.
