With a tropical rainforest ambience, the Langkawi Wildlife Park is home to over 150 species of animals and birds from all over the globe such as bearcats, mousedeer, ostriches, raccoons, guinea pigs, and an aviary full of free-flying birds. We also love that the park is a fully-covered space with covered walkways and sheltered exhibit areas - this way you'll get to take a break from the sun and explore it whether rain or shine. Make sure you check the park's schedule and don't miss out on the special feeding times throughout the day!

Located in Seri Kembangan, Farm In The City is quite literally paradise on earth for animal lovers.

Feed, pet, and befriend rabbits, guinea pigs, deer, alpacas, ponies, raccoons, and more gentle creatures here!
