#10月好去地方2024 The animal exhibition area of ​​the Johor Bahru Zoo is like a microcosm of nature, making me feel like I am in a tropical rainforest. You can see all kinds of animals here, especially the elegant giraffes, whose tall figures sway gently in the sun, as if they are performing for the tourists. 🦒I especially like to watch quietly on the observation deck. I can hear the sound of little monkeys playing, as if they are greeting me, which adds a lot of vitality. I had the honor of hand-feeding the lovely elephants in the interactive area of ​​the zoo. Their gentle eyes touched my heart. 🐫Every touch makes me cherish the connection with nature more. #johorbahruzoo #wildlife #natureexploration #close encounter

The Johor Zoo is a gift from the Istana Johor to its people. Its original name was the Palace Zoo. The zoo was established in 1928, making it the oldest zoo in Malaysia. Located in the heart of Johor Bahru city, this zoo has an area of over 32 hectares and houses more than 100 species of animals.

#myhiddengems Ticket price: very affordable. The place: quite big with 4 zones, we were there for around 1 hour + Family friendly place, but not a stroller friendly place IMO. Please bring umbrella because it can get hot, and water too to stay hydrated. 🕰️Business Hours: Open everyday 0900-1800 📍Address: Johor Zoo, Jalan Gertak Merah, Taman Istana, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor

#myhiddengems The zoo is considered small compared to other zoo that I've been. But suprisingly, there are a lot of animals. I advise to visit between 9am to 11am as some nocturnal animals still awake. The zoo gave opportunities for the public to feed their deers and camels. Mini stalls selling fruits, drinks, burgers and junk food. Would be great experience for kids.

Was there with a few friends after Friday prayers as the mosque is nearby. It is super affordable and those who are daring enough can feed the animals there especially the always-hungry camels. Dont expect some high class zoo like Singapore Zoo. This is a "good enough" zoo. Interesting array of animals, rumoured to be favorite animals of the royal family. The zoo is vary old and still retains that concrete and steel bars look that most south east Asian zoos have but this parks animals all look content and there was no signs of any poor welfare going on. If anything I was actually surprised with how fat a lot of the animals were. Hope some days ,that more and more people will visit this place. #besttrip #urbanexplorer
