Zoo Negara breaks target number of visitors this year

Catching a break: Zoo Negara celebrates surpassing its target for visitors as the year-end school holiday sees streams of people dropping by. It’s a far cry from the height of movement restrictions when the zoo was on the brink of closing down.

KUALA LUMPUR: Zoo Negara has received nearly 600,000 visitors, surpassing its target of attracting 450,000 this year.

Zoo Negara deputy president Rosly@Rahmat Ahmat Lana said the increase is contributed by the year-end school holidays and offerings of interesting deals.
