Taiping Zoo and Night Safari

This is the only zoo in Perak and the main attraction in Taiping town. It is also the oldest animal park in Malaysia. I had a few visits to the zoo before especially during my younger age but haven't been for the night safari just yet. The 34-acre zoo is located within the Taiping Lake Garden and closed to Maxwell Hill, the highland that makes Taiping the wettest place in Malaysia. It houses over 180 species of animals. At night, visitors will have the chance to get close to the nocturnal species which are more active when it's dark. There will be a tram that takes visitors around the enclosures. For those with steady feet, maybe walking is for you. It's not that huge anyway.

                                 

   Entrance tickets:

• Daytime zoo: RM12 (per adult) and RM8 (per child)
• Night safari: RM16 (per adult) and RM10 (per child 3-12 years old), tram included.
