Seasonal Closures
Gorilla Amphitheatre: The Gorilla Amphitheatre is closed for the season from October 15th, 2025. Our gorilla troop remains viewable in their indoor habitat.
Prehistoric Park: Prehistoric Park is closed for the season from October 27th, 2025, pending favourable weather conditions.
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
Set the stage for an unforgettable spring evening with a 60-minute, after-hours tour of the zoo, followed by a cozy 90-minute private dining experience inside your very own Garden Globe.
Led by knowledgeable guides, you’ll take part in an exclusive tour of our grounds, learning about the wildlife that call us home and our critical conservation efforts. After the tour, you’ll settle into your private Garden Globe for dinner, nestled in the gardens and immersed in the sights and sounds of the zoo. These charming, transparent globes are perfect for small gatherings and special celebrations, accommodating four to six guests.
This event takes place during high season. Guests enter the zoo as early as 3:00 p.m. for this event.
