About Zoo Negara
Zoo Negara is Malaysia's national zoo, opened in 1963 on a hilly 61.5-acre site in Hulu Kelang, about 5 km from the city centre, and run by the Malaysian Zoological Society. Its website says it keeps more than 4,000 animals from 325 species, including Malayan tigers, Asian elephants and orangutans. Giant pandas have also been shown at its panda conservation centre, so check that exhibit is open before you plan around it.
The zoo opens daily from 9 am to 5 pm. The official site lists adult tickets at RM93 for foreign visitors and RM55 for Malaysians (RM60 for i-Kad and work-pass holders), and RM48 or RM28 for children aged 3 to 12; tickets are sold online and at the entrance. Allow at least three hours and wear comfortable shoes because the paths are steep. A tram runs around the grounds for an extra fee. The zoo is in Ampang Jaya, just outside the KL boundary, and most visitors arrive by Grab or car.
