With the cancellation of the Langkawi trip, we decided to bring Koko and Didi to Taiping Zoo. Once awhile Koko will mention 'We haven't go to Taiping Zoo yet.' When he mentioned about lion, elephant, Hubby and I will tell him, the animals are in the zoo. The nearest zoo is Taiping Zoo and we may go there one day. So, by telling Koko so, he'll remember it and keep on reminding you.
On the Saturday, we started our journey at 8am, reaching Taiping around 9am. There were only a few cars , less than 5. Hubby still can choose the most shaded parking lot under the tree.
Taiping Zoo Opening Hour - 8.30am to 6.00 pm.
Entrance Fee: Rm12/adult, RM8-child 3-12yrs
At the entrance of the zoo.
Once entered, we straight jump up to the tram, knowing that walking may not be the best option under the hot sun. Koko was sweating even before the journey started on the tram.
This was the location the tram stopped. Curious Didi was looking at the elephant.
The giraffe
Koko was trying to feed the ostrich with leave
Handsome Didi
Sweating hard. They just found the fun started from here. The wallaby feeds on the leave. Koko and Didi were so excited and unwillingly to leave this place.
Rhinoceros
Hippopotamus - just know that they are reddish in colour.
Cold drink after walking around - best!
The last thing that Koko and Didi love - feeding the rabbit with leaves.
We left the zoo around 12.30pm and most of the animals were about to sleep too. Tired though we only walked in a small area. You can find most of the animals in this zoo. The tram will bring you around to see all of them, but of course, animals in the small cafe are difficult to spot from the tram. We only manage to see the female lion. Koko can identify most of the animals while Didi was curious spotting around. A fun day..but Koko still mentioned he hasn't see the shark yet..hhaaiii...
