You and the whole family can now visit Johor Zoo again, as the beloved attraction has announced its reopening with upgraded facilities! This follows the zoo’s closure in 2020 to make way for renovation efforts.
Scheduled to open on Aug. 31, in time for Merdeka Day, Johor Zoo is set to delight locals and tourists with a greener and more vibrant space that houses over 275 animals from 53 species, including mammals, reptiles, primates, and birds.
Both kids and adults are guaranteed to enjoy the newly revamped zoo, as it is now equipped with a larger parking area, a kids’ playground, upgraded walkways, and a new souvenir center.
To celebrate its opening, Johor Zoo is giving a 50% discount for Malaysian citizens and free entrance for children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities (OKU) from Aug. 31 to Sept. 30.
After the promotion period, regular tickets will be priced at RM10 (Malaysian citizens), RM5 (children above five years old and senior citizens), and RM30 (foreigners). Meanwhile, tickets for children under five years old and OKU cardholders will remain free.
Johor Zoo, formerly known as Kebun Binatang, first opened in 1928, making it Malaysia’s oldest zoo.
