Surabaya Zoo
Kebun Binatang Surabaya
Opened in 1916, one of Southeast Asia's oldest zoos, where visitors can see Komodo dragons, proboscis monkeys, and other animals native to Indonesia.
Surabaya Zoo is located in the southern part of the city. It covers about 15 hectares and houses roughly 2,000 animals, mainly Indonesian native species, including Komodo dragons, proboscis monkeys, Sumatran tigers, Malayan sun bears, and Bali mynas. The zoo was once heavily criticized over animal welfare, and conditions have improved in recent years since the city government took over management. Admission is about 15,000–20,000 Indonesian rupiah, and the zoo is typically open on Mondays. At the entrance stands the 'Shark and Crocodile' statue (Sura dan Buaya), the city's emblem and a must-photograph landmark.
