Danga Bay Petting Zoo

August 9th, 2010 admin

Besides the Johor Zoo, there is yet another Zoo located right in Johor Bahru. And this is perhaps the more educational zoo, especially for your kids.

Located within Danga Bay, the Danga Bay Petting Zoo (mini-zoo) feature over 180 species of animals and birds. What makes the zoo really stands out is on how personal you can get to the animals. You get to:

1. PET on rabbits, monkeys, parrots.
2. FEED the deer and pheasants.
3. TOUCH the lion, tiger and black bears.

Over 20,000 visitors has visited Danga Bay Petting Zoo since its opening in 2007.

Only qualms is the living conditions for some of the animals in the zoo – for example, there has been feedback that the elephant has been chained with no way to sit/rest/lie down. Hopefully, something can be done by the relevant authorities to improve the living conditions at the zoo.
