Sabah should be ashamed of this park. The animals are clearly bored and penned up. Tired run down. Did not see a keeper the whole time we were there. A disgrace. Not a good advertisement for the country at all. Do not bother with this Very disappointing.

After reading all the negative reviews we went there with very low expectations. We drove there with a rental car and arrived on a Tuesday afternoon around 3pm. The park was very empty / only 4 cars on the car park. Entrance was only 20 ringit/person. We walked through the park for 1,5 hrs without seeing a single other visitor (!). It was a great experience and like a private location. Especially in the botanical garden section we felt really like in the borneo jungle - because nobody was there. The animals have IMHO quite big cages (even bigger than in most German / European zoos which i have seen). And on every cage there were big signs reminding the visitors not to disturb the animals unnecessarily by knocking glass windows etc. Only the area for the smallest bears should be a bit better and contain some shelter or hiding space for the bears. Conclusion: much better than expected and should be supported by visiting Advise; if you go there by grab it might be hard to get one back from there = better arrange your return upfront in order to avoid getting overcharged by local taxis…

Fun zoo with amazing animals! Sunny and hot but still shades in most places. Nice trip for a couple of hours

Experience is average. But the entrance price is alright with what you get. If you have extra time, you may stop over but not a must. The worth seeing is long-nosed monkeys. Botanic garden inside is totally got nothing to see.

One of the worst "zoos" we have ever been too. Animals are kept in depressing conditions - sun bears were just pacing back and forth. Have nothing good to say about this place, avoid at all costs.
