Zoo Negara

Kuala Lumpur Zoo and Aquarium, spanning over 110 acres around a central lake, houses 5137 specimens from 476 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish from Asia and Africa. Also known as the Zoo Negara Malaysia, the wildlife sanctuary is located 13km northeast of Kuala Lumpur beyond Jalan Tun Razak along Jalan Ulu Klang. Housing a forest, lake and 16 animal exhibits, the zoo is set on such vast grounds that visitors will need at least three hours to explore in its entirety. To make it easier for foreign visitors to explore the zoo, tram rides are available for a surcharge of RM8 for adults and RM6 for children, while local visitors are charged at RM5 and RM3 respectively.
