KLB Garden is a 13-acre agro park and mini zoo, located at Tebedu. It's about a 100km drive from Kuching City Centre. So give it about 1.5 - 2 hours of driving time.
The garden is relatively new, having opened only in June 2018. As soon as you enter, there's a cafeteria selling a decent range of drinks. Food items that were available included stirfried noodles and chicken rice, nasi pattaya among others. Ice-cream was also on sale. A souvenir shop is located here too.
The landscape still looked a little bare, because it's understandable that the plants need time to grow. There are man-made lakes, a waterfall, aviaries and animal enclosures, a wishing well, a bicycle rental area, a water fountain and a zodiac playground. A camping site is available - not sure whether the tents ready to stay in or not.
As I walked around, I checked out the collection of birds like owls, canaries, parrots, parakeets, peacocks and others ... and there's a horse, some deers, goats, sheep, bulls. I remembered seeing a pair of otters, some tortoises and terrapins, porcupines, pangolins, civet cats, rabbits ...
There were orchids, pitcher plants and a special room which had rows and rows of strawberry plants .... no fruits yet, though.
The garden opens at 9.30 a.m. - 5.00 p.m on weekdays, except on Thursdays. On weekends, public holidays and school holidays, it opens from 8.30 - 5.00 p.m. Ticket prices are RM16 for adults and RM8 for children. Senior citizens go in for free.
