The zoo is very well maintained! the animals look healthy and the place is very clean and not smelly. We love the koalas and kangaroos the most since you cannot see these in other countries. Highly recommendable to kids and adults as well.

Easy to buy, easy to use. Can be used normally, no problems at all, convenient, fast, cheaper than buying online from the zoo. Very satisfied.

My family enjoyed exploring the zoo, though it's exhausting it's all worth it. Klook's prices are a little more affordable compared to the actual prices when you get tickets from the booths.
