Melaka Zoo

I've been visited Zoo Melaka about 5 times last year. Since there is not much attraction in Muar, I prefer to bring my boy here, during school holidays.

The zoo is located strategically at Ayer Keroh–the Gateway to Melaka. It can be easily accessible to both incoming visitors off the highway and visitors from downtown Melaka.

Entry to Zoo Melaka is not expensive. As low as RM 2.00 for students with school uniform. Go here to check for the price ticket.

The operation hours :

Day Zoo
9AM to 6PM Daily

Night Zoo
8PM - 11 PM
- Friday
- Saturday
- Eve of Public Holiday
- School Holidays

More than 1,200 animals representing over 200 animal species, Zoo Melaka is absolutely fantastic for tourist destination and as a learning center for students.

Fact about Zoo Melaka :


Zoo Melaka was originally established by the Melaka State Government in 1963 atop 54 acres (21.2 ha) in Ayer Keroh as a fledgling tourist destination.

In 1979, management of Zoo Melaka was transferred to the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN) and officially opened to the public by then Prime Minister, Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on 13th August 1987. Since then, the Zoo has become a member of the South-East Asian Zoological Park Association (SEAZA) and an active member of the Malaysian Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (MAZPA).
