Zoo Negara
Malaysia's oldest zoo, housing native species such as Malayan tigers, Malayan tapirs and orangutans.
Zoo Negara opened in 1963 in the Ampang area, about 13 kilometers northeast of Kuala Lumpur. It covers about 45 hectares and houses roughly 5,000 animals. Highlights focus on Malaysia's native species: Malayan tigers, Malayan tapirs, Malayan sun bears, orangutans and various hornbills. There is also an African savanna area, a reptile house, an aquarium and animal shows. The park is large and hot, so you may want to ride the internal tour bus. Admission for foreign adults is about RM85. Getting there: take a taxi about 10 minutes from LRT Wangsa Maju station, or take Grab from the city.
