Taiping Zoo is 1.5 hours away from Penang. It has poorly cared for animals, they look all tired, listless and 'tulala'. The trams are old, creaky and noisy. Toilets inside the zoo are non-existent, there's one right before the entrance but you have to pay RM0.30 per person! (It was a good thing we did our bio-break before we entered the place, there would have been none inside.)
The center part of the zoo where families can rest and have some snacks does not even have enough benches. Aggressive monkeys also come and try to snatch people's food and drinks, which scared most of us. The only good thing I can say about it is that there are lots of mature trees and plants all over the place. It's not as hot and more importantly it mimics the animals' natural habitat.
Coming from Singapore Zoo last April, this zoo disappoints big time!
