The National Zoo has seen better days but is home to over 400 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. Weekdays are the best time to visit as you can wander at leisure. It’s quite expensive at RM50 for adults and RM25 for kids (RM30 and RM10 for MyKad holders respectively) and there are still plenty of things you’ll need to pay for in the zoo besides – like a map. The reason for these high prices is due to the National Zoo being a private-owned enterprise.
That being said, there's a lake at the zoo where clouds of storks settle; the zoo's milky stork rehabiliation programme has been particularly successful. It's a rather impressive sight. Opt to stroll along the paths or take a buggy to visit the infamous pandas.
