Cannot understand any negativity- it’s lovely! Seen some negative reviews about it being more captive for the bears but, being a conservation enthusiast and the first to spot any animals in distress I saw only good things here. These are rescued bears, you can see some with pervious scars from being held in chains so they are now free to forage and roam around naturally and safely. We were lucky enough to meet the founder who was very engaged and great with the visitors of all ages. We didn’t realise who we had met until later. Worth supporting this project with your entry fee for sure!!

This attraction is a little more expensive than some others, but it is supporting a very good cause. Note that Dr Wong will probably be around & manning a telescopic viewfinder looking at bear or cool snake. Let him take a video through the viewfinder using your phone. He'll provide a great commentary for you!

This centre appears to be well organised and maintained. We understand that there were some maintenance works done during the pandemic lull. Nice! It was awesome to view the bears in their enclosure and being able to learn more about them. We found out from a guide that sun bears may self harm to get human attention! The gift shop has some good quality items. The bsbcc website, including the annual reports on the website contain a wealth of information on the centre’s activities. It is heartwarming to discover how this centre was started. Well done! Go sun bears!

If you want to support a good cause and see goofy-looking bears in a relaxing and quiet environment, this is the place. It is designed mainly for the bears and the point of the initiative is release the badly treated bears back into the nature. Giving people a chance to see these lovely creatures is a nice bonus. In addition to the bears there isn’t much more to do and we liked it that way. Bears were very active when we visited the place, but they can be sleeping too - it is up to them. Animals aren’t here for circus tricks. The place is really clean and it is easy to access with separate paths for people with limited mobility. The are two viewing platforms and next to them are signs telling names, personalities and stories of the each bear. At the entrance/exit there is also a small gift shop that serves snacks and cold drinks. Inside, you can find a small education center with information about their cause and the bears. If you visiting the orangutan center, make sure to visit this one as well since it just next to it.

The sunbear centre is located right next to orangutan centre and we visited immediately afterwards. Large enclosures with plenty of bears that seemed very happy and were steamed ready to be re-released into the wild. Unexpectedly great.

We visited this centre as part of a group tour. The sunbear centre is located next to the orangutan centre. This place is amazing as you learn all about the biology and ecology of the sun bears. They have very big enclosures here where the bears can roam around with other bears in a natural environment until they are ready to be released and it is so amazing the work that goes on here to release them successfully in to their natural habitat. We got to see a number of these little bears up close and they are beautiful. It’s so sad to hear that they are endangered but I am so grateful for places like this that help their numbers recover.

After a very disappointing visit to the absurdly overcrowded Orang Utan rehabilitation center just across the street, the unique Sun Bear Conservation Center was like a breathe of fresh air. We much enjoyed it. 1%, perhaps, of the huge hordes including many large families of screaming kids make it across the street from the Orang Utans to the unique Sun Bear conservation center. That, among other things, makes it eminently more enjoyable. Much cooler as there is breeze and there are not several hundred humans crammed together in a tiny pen like observation area. The rangers, including native English speakers, are very interactive with the small groups that visit (unlike across the street). The sun bears are cute but vicious, they were always snarling and charging at each other creating quite the show. This is the only Sun Bear center in the World, and you'll see them up close from two elevated observation towers.

Excellent center where you can view sun bears in a protected environment. A canopy walk over their habitat with a few viewing platforms makes this an easy experience. There is a shop with aircon at the end where you can purchase souvenirs and drinks. Not expensive to enter and a definite must do.

A pleasant insight into the lives of Sun Bears. There are 2 viewing platforms with a hand full of bears in them. While the subject matter is really fascinating the set up was smaller than expected. However as an add on attraction after Sepilok this is certainly worth a visit.

So good to know there is a conservation center that takes care of these beautiful bears. I had the pleasure to meet Dr Wong, founder of this center. The bears roam around an enclosure and are fed by the staff. The idea is to release these bears once they recover. I heard horrible stories about these bears. Some people didn’t realize that they have a bear. They thought it was a dog. So sad to know that these bears were separated from their mama bears. This center gives them a chance to thrive and live a normal life.
