Hi Taylor, The reason the Zoo Negara needs to charge is because it is not funded by government. It depends entirely on ticket earnings to upkeep its animals. I guess they jacked up the ticket prices ..it used to be a really cheap. Apart from that, that piece of land is eyed by developers and they are always under threat of being pushed away into the fringes of the city where there is lesser footfall and the environment not so naturally endowed. You might have noticed the klang ridge ( called 'dragon's back') in the background. This created a really neat ecosystem for the animals. Apart from that, the birds in the lake are free ranging. They migrate here from other countries when the winter hits and go away when the seasons changes. So thank you for highlighting the zoo. They need the funds to continue taking care of the animals. The other zoo worth takimg a look is the Taiping Zoo, it is the first zoo in MY if i am not mistaken. It is a much smaller zoo, but i think it is one of the better managed zoos in this country. PS : you can volunteer at Zoo Negara too as a guide!
Why isn't Zoo Negara government run (tax payer funded)? Why then is it called the NATIONAL(Negara) ZOO? Raising the entrance fee won't get more revenue. It shuns people away. Imagine taking your whole family for a visit. It'll burn a hole in your pocket. The Zoo's not going to get repeat family visitors.
@@fuckyoutube4changingmyusername you can write in to ask the government. Malaysians want everything free (including free public health services), but do not even want to pay for public health insurance. I doubt they will pay for more taxes to fund the zoo or the zoo is priority, amongst a host of priorities. In any case, Zoo Negara has always been an NGO from Day 1. Most Malaysians who are familiar with Malaysia knows that. Also, there are other national zoos in Asean region that are much much more expensive, and they are not funded by their governments either .
@@sychin8459 Well i guess the Gov has contracted the management of the Zoo to a Private Company..that means the Company is paid by tax payers one way or another. Looks like the Company wants to make more profit by raising the ticket cost. Big mistake!! They should really make it affordable....so they can benefit from volume. But i think they are looking to profit from Tourists. Tourists come and go..but the local people with families are the repeat customers. That's where the real revenue is from.
I wrote an article a few years ago on the need for the national zoo to be held as a statutory body owned and funded by the Government of Malaysia, as in the case of the National Museum and the National Art Gallery.
Andrew , that's where u see Angry Birds ! 😆🤣 . As u aware bcos of slow down economy , many corporate sponsors pull back their $ , hence many animals suffered some setbacks here & there. So bird parks & zoos do need everyone to participate , otherwise this be the last one can see them live ! Hv a nice one Tqvm 🙏🏻🤝🏻✌🏻👍🏻
Loved this one! Phil and I will plan to go to the zoo, maybe on our own since you’ve been there now. We can probably take a Grab ride instead of transit. By the way, our Tampa zoo is really great now too, but it’s $50!
Hi Taylor. I've been there a decade ago and I didn't make it to the panda area as they charge additional RM100 entrance ticket. Thank you for the video. I've always wanted to go there to see the Panda.
DBKL, you have to take note on improving and upgrading the bird park. Visit other bird park in the world on how they manage and showcase the bird park. Life is hard on tackling daily livelihood, but still have a lot to catch up in term of mentality when it comes to animal welfare.
I enjoy your narrative on the KL Zoo and bird park. Thank you Andrew. Perhaps the relevant authorities can take a cue from your critique of the bird park (poor condition) and the expensive ticketprices especially for foreigners.
Hi Taylor, thanks for showing the zoo! I was recently at the Honolulu, Hawaii zoo with my cousins and their 3-yr old. They didn't nearly have as many gorgeous animals like they do there...wonderful share! 🤩
I live near the zoo for most of my life, but onlymwent into it 2 or 3 times, last i went was about 10 uears ago...did you know the are behind the zoo have 2 waterfalls, you can stay in the are as there are 2or 3 placew that uoi can stay. You can also have lunch or dinner in thw river there...the neighborhoo d next to the zoo, taman melawati,also have a nature reserve park called Taman Warisan Selangor (Selangor Heritage Park)
Wow, you went to the zoo! Yes, the animals in the zoo look good. Bird park used to have a lot of birds, what happened? Best place to see the hornbills.
We are in KLCC and look forward to spending a month here. It looks like Bukit Bintang would be a better neighborhood to stay in. Perhaps we will look for something there, later in March. Any information on the neighborhoods and their different character would be helpful.
Yes, the cost of admission to the zoo and bird park is quite high by local standards, despite the fact that Malaysians pay less than foreign visitors. The cost should actually be viewed as a donation for the upkeep of the animals, including funding for their food and keepers' wages. Together with the funds allotted by the government, certain large corporations also donate money.
Great info again, I just got back to KL for another 3 months and think I should have looked at Penang a bit more. Bad start they have given me a unit with no privacy this time so not happy. But have been spoilt last 12 months. Any way KL is still pretty good. Talk about traffic I arrived at international airport 4.50pm and did not get to KLCC till 7.30 pm I guess Covid is over. As for eating out I can easily spend 300 -400 Rm by myself with a few beers in average area. But nice food and service Have a great week🙏🏽👍🏿🙂
Hi Taylor, its me again Li Ling. If you go further along the road behind the zoo, you will come to Kampung (village) Kemensah. It is a lush jungle environment. Tall trees with thick foliage shade the road, there are groves of bamboo, the air is fresh and cool, somewhere a river is flowing and a waterfall (Air Terjun Batu Asah). This is a Malay kampung and I love that this gorgeous habitat is mins from the main road.
I haven't visited the bird park since a decade ago. I was quite surprised to know that it was a huge disappoinment for you since I've watched several other yvloggers mainly japanese were enjoying their time there. Maybe they're just trying to be nice and disregard some bit of honesty 😀 kudos to you for your honest review!
I agree..those entrance fees are too expensive even for half the price for Malaysians. More locals would be willing to visit if they didn't cost as much.
Have been to this zoo, 3 times the first time was before the pandas arrived a few years ago. At that time is was run down and not well kept. Once the pandas arrived it bought in a lot of visitors and this enabled investment in the zoo. As a foreigner I was actually impressed with the fact that there are 2 different admission prices. One for locals and a higher price for foreigners. I had no problem paying this and loved the fact that the lower price for locals help visitor numbers. It is an impressive zoo and now very well kept.
I actually visited the National Zoo of Malaysia twice, in 2007 (I was 6) and in 2019 (I was 18) but I actually like both the National Monument and the National Museum, both of which I have visited in 2010 (I was 9)!
Hi Taylor, I'm Li Ling 70 yo Malaysian retiree living in Ulu Kelang (between Ampang Point and Zoo Negara). Do you know that right behind the building where you live is a small morning wet market with a few good eating shops nearby? The whole scene still has a chinese New Village feel. The term New Village comes from the Energency days of late 40s and early 50s when the British fought a violent Communist insurgency in Malaya. Many Chinese who lived in villages on the fringe were sympathisers and supporters of the communists who were almost all chinese and considered China to be their country. The British demolished the villages, relocated and regrouped them, surrounded by barbwire and guarded. These communities were called New Villages. Now many New Villages have grown really big becoming not just towns but regional centres. You might find this small village interesting. If you don't use the main road but the quieter one behind your residence, the change in scene and vibe may surprise you. As it did me. I 'm a KLite and yet for a moment I thot I was displaced in time and place ("where is this?!).
Many thanks sir, this was very good insight. We needed it. Another aspect we see is that it is not just for kids, like you enjoyed, our guests, 55+ might like too. Will put it to them. I had impression from another youtube that Bird park is good as it seemed, there are lot of fearless birds so, closeness to them (dancing peacock etc) would be exciting. Noted your point. Our guests have little time at hand, trying to suggest them some options. Perhaps Genting won't interest 55+ ... , checked your video on weather as well. It was first one we saw and a good one too.
Taylor, I want to see you climb up to Batu Cave.😁 I did the Royal Selangor pewter factory tour and thought it interesting. You could also explore different KL neighborhoods.
@@andrewtaylor4558 I am curious as to what the neighborhoods are like. I really enjoyed the video you did at Publika. Always wondered what Cyberjaya and Putrajaya are like. They were built to be more modern with good infrastructure for government and tech workers. At least that's what I read. I heard that Bangsar village is nice, Chesa?
thx for sharing n supporting the zoo !! nice to see the animals so healthy n well fed today, the national zoo has abit finance problem after covid, they don have money to fed animal😿
The tapir is a prehistoric animal and a living fossil, having been around some 20 million years ago! It has the looks to boot. I thought they only serve bamboo at the Panda Cafe and the Bengals have never won the Super Bowl! 😁

Hi Andrew. Frankly speaking, these animals and birds shld not b caged, shld b admired in d wild or in videos.

the entrance ticket to the bird park is very expensive. tickets should be reduced to 10 ringgit for adults and free for children. yes wherever in the country, the charge is still expensive. everything has to be charged, right?
I went to bird park a couple weeks ago and it is run down, although your comments a bit harsh I thought. Got hassled by a monkey on the street walking to botanical gardens was the worse bit. I am going to Zoo this week so see then but in video also looked run down. I see in another comment for you to go to Batu Caves, now that place is disgusting rubbish all over the place and those thieving little monkeys- keep your belongings close and I mean very close water sunglasses bags everything they will try and steal. Thank you again.🙏👍
It’s quite manageable usually. For instance, this morning at about 10 am it was 78 degrees and 72 % humidity. Now, at 2 pm it is 90 degrees with only 52 % humidity. It rarely gets much above 90 and the average is 86.
@@vini1218 Really, anytime is good because if you travel around the climate changes around the country. For instance, I think Nov/Dec is the best in Penang but very rainy in KL. You will run into rain almost anytime tho.
If you get a chance, singapore zoo is great. I havent been to the night zoo sessions but i have been told its worthwile to do so. Jurong bird park also used to be wonderful...singapore being singapore, i imagine the bird park is still world class.
All zoos are full of sad & depressed animals, just like in this vlog. Sorry Andrew. Nothing personal. All animals should be free as they need far far more space than is given to them. All birds need to be free. It's ultra cruel to keep them penned up when most prefer to be in flight at will. Cheers..
To increase foreign tourists, government have to control admission fee for all of tourist spots, and make same price for both foreign tourists n local visitors. Sy sering dengar Admission tickets for foreign tourists sgt mencekik darah. Lbh baek admission fee lbh murah, tp foreign tourists banyak yg masuk, mrk merasa exciting, tp bila admission tinggi, foreign tourists yg masuk hanya sedikit. Kalau kita berlaku falsafah niaga orang2 kaum melayu yg nak dpt untung banyak dlm masa singkat, itu adalah the wrong strategy, dn itu sbb bisnis orang melayu banyak yg cepat muflis.
Hi Taylor, my wife and I enjoyed your new video and love your sense of humor. I would suggest asking for senior discounts at tourism places in Malaysia. I was able to get them in Melaka. I also got senior discount at hotel buffet as well. See you on the next video. @gregexpresstravels
Thanks! I asked for a discount at the Zoo and also if they had a price for MM2H, places used to have that, but no. Also I asked for a discount for the river cruise in Malaka and they said no. Guess people just like you better. 😊

Lbh baek admission fee lbh murah, tp foreign tourists banyak yg masuk, mrk merasa exciting, tp bila admission tinggi, foreign tourists yg masuk hanya sedikit.
Kalau kita berlaku falsafah niaga orang2 kaum melayu yg nak dpt untung banyak dlm masa singkat, itu adalah the wrong strategy, dn itu sbb bisnis orang melayu banyak yg cepat muflis.
Yes, charge less, more people will come! 😊
Why are there no orangutans? 🦧
They were sleeping when I was there! 😂
Hi Taylor, my wife and I enjoyed your new video and love your sense of humor. I would suggest asking for senior discounts at tourism places in Malaysia. I was able to get them in Melaka. I also got senior discount at hotel buffet as well. See you on the next video. @gregexpresstravels
Thanks! I asked for a discount at the Zoo and also if they had a price for MM2H, places used to have that, but no. Also I asked for a discount for the river cruise in Malaka and they said no. Guess people just like you better. 😊
@@andrewtaylor4558 Lol, it was probably because my brother in law from Malaysia purchased our tickets at the Melaka zoo and the river cruise.
@@andrewtaylor4558Taylor, may be you look much younger and they were unconvinced
