PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her female calf ‘Nyawa’ have daily access to either the main indoor habitat or the outdoor habitat from 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed.

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.
On-site Program
What is climate change and how is it measured? Through a series of hands-on experiments, field observations, and environmental modelling, investigate the interconnected systems that shape earth’s climate and influence ecosystems around the world. Explore critical concepts such as ocean acidification, carbon storage, and biodiversity through the lens of deep time and current events. Along the way, learn about innovative scientific strategies being used to better understand and respond to climate change. This inquiry-based program encourages scientific literacy, system-level thinking, and meaningful discussion about humanity’s role in shaping a more sustainable future.
