PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her calf have daily access to the main indoor habitat from 10:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, especially when the calf is nursing, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
Family-Friendly
Royal High Tea at the zoo is a full day of spring fun, perfect for all ages. Enjoy delicious treats like scones, finger sandwiches, and mouthwatering snacks while sipping on a selection of tasty loose-leaf teas, all in the beautiful setting of Grazers Restaurant.
Your ticket includes zoo admission, so regardless of your seating time, you’ll have the chance to enjoy your High Tea and treats, take a leisurely stroll around the grounds to visit the animals, and soak in the beauty of the Dorothy Harvie Gardens as they begin to bloom.
While the delectable food and drink will remain the same, we encourage attendees for our June dates to dress in their finest attire for this regal occasion. A princess will also be present to entertain and make you feel like true royalty.
