Taiping Zoo & Night Safari

Went to Night Safari. Adult RM20, Kids RM10. There is a Tram to cover the Safari. Guide is friendly and helpful.

Ride time around 20-30 minutes.
Slight drizzle but the tram is covered.
No food shop open at night.
Bring water as the weather quite warm.

For the price of the ticket at RM 20/adult ( for the night zoo), it was a worthwhile trip. The weather was cool and comfortable for a night stroll. The animals like the lions, tigers, hyenas and panthers were awake and walking about. The buggy ride was included in the ticket price and the driver we got was informative and very entertaining! We even got up close with the white swans and the grey crowned crane. Overall a great trip! The only downside was the maintenance of the toilets within the zoo.. do use the toilet at the entrance. Bought the tickets online, easy and convenient.

Very nice zoo. Kids love the tram and close distance with wild animals. During my visit, the toilet is under renovation, so suggest to go toilet at the entrance before start your journey.

This zoo is well maintained enough to put the KL's Zoo Negara to complete shame.
Initially went for the Night Safari, which was alright, although I could hardly see much of anything. The zoo guide would shine their high powered beam torches at the animals to point them out to visitors, not something I agree with, but then again, you won't spot them otherwise. But the Night Safari wasn't enough, so I went again the next day early in the morning.
Much better in the morning as it is quieter (not so hot too) and one can really appreciate the entire landscape of the zoo and animals.

If you have the patience for it, there's an EV bus that does its rounds every 2 hours (or so I'm told) that starts from the Taiping Zoo and then round all the Heritage Trail areas around Taiping town. Grab Car to most places costs about RM 5 per way (more or less).

Overall 8.5/10
Maintenance not so bad.
Environment clean.
Some cages empty. But it's ok. The main animals still have. Good experince also.

Great visit. No regrets. Went for the night safari. RM 20 for adults. Inclusive of a tram ride. Free to roam as well. Well kept zoo for a small town. Black Panther and African Savanna were worth it! Do visit its fun!!

Me and my two teens had a great visit at the zoo. The animals had a lot of space and were in their natural environment. Our highlight was the Malayan tiger. It’s a short walk from town through the lovely Taiping lake. We were able to cover most of the grounds in over an hour. It’s worth a visit if you like wildlife.

The most impressive zoo I have seen. The animals are well taken care of, there are many of them, the vegetation is wonderful, and everything is surrounded by the mountains. A beautiful setting, one of the best places in Malaysia.

The price was affordable to everyone and get seen some going to extinct species animals like white rhinos . And I have been seen spotted hyena which is very rare to see in Malaysia zoo. overall I love it

Highly recommended for those who love the adventure but at a comfort side. Just sit and enjoy, explanation from the tour guide is good and clear. And we had fun along the ride. Memorable.

Nice experience at this zoo. We started off on a train ride to get a sense of the layout and subsequently walked to see some animals up close. We went during the day where most animals would be sleeping. Would not mind going back again for the Night Safari option.

Not much food options, suggest to eat prior to going...

It was my second time visiting this place. The zoo is rather a pleasant place to visit. In comparison with the previous time when I visited it; I think it has less animals now. It is good that the zoo management provides free buggy rides to visitors.

Zoo taiping...close encounter local creatures...famous in taiping.variety of animal.3.5 km look around walking distance..20 minute ride with zoo mini bus night safari at night to see active night animal.ticket fee rm16 for adult and rm8 for child.always standby umbrella..alway rain in taiping

Parking maybe limited during weekends or holidays.
Do bring umbrella (for occasional showers) and drinking water (expensive inside).
It has both lions and tigers inside; not bad at all for ticket at MYR16 per head.
Clean and tidy.

It’s a wonderful experience to visit, the animals seems well taken care of. Clean and the tram service is amazing.

I was there for Zoo Taiping in a day. Some animals were asleep.. 😴.. Tickets you need to buy at the counter. Please have a look at my picture sharing ❤

The family really enjoyed the zoo. However some of the exhibits were closed and the playground was very dated for the kids.

The last I came to Taiping Zoo is 15 yrs ago(-+), it's still a best place for children and us. As a Malaysian, I have to bring child to visit Taiping Zoo to see the real animals bit not just on YouTube. The entrance fees reasonable. Inside zoo have food to sell too, so no worries about meals. Toilets can found in few places.

Good place to hang out when u at taiping..also handicap friendly when u can hop on the buggy train. very good for old folk that can't walk far. Visiting the zoo help animal to improve their living

Nice and very affordable public zoo.
It was raining heavily when we arrived and thought about cancelling the visit. However lucky we continued, as the ride with the train was possible and kept us dry.
Children were very happy as they could see enough animals, despite only from the moving train.

The Zoo keeper / train operator was friendly and explaining the animals and their background story through out the 30 minutes round trip in the zoo.

Definitely coming back.
