Zoo Johor is one of the oldest zoos in Malaysia. It is located at Jalan Gertak Merah, Johor Bahru, near the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque, the Istana Besar and the Zaharah Botanic Gardens. The zoo was built by Sultan Sir Ibrahim in 1928. At that time, it was the private menagerie of the royal family. In 1960, it was transferred to the government of Johor for maintenance and management, and was opened to the public in 1962.
Zoo Johor is a tourist attraction that showcases mammals, birds as well as different trees. The zoo covers an area of 5 hectares. Admission fee is RM2 for adults and RM1 for children.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
