Here’s another reason to make a weekend trip to Malaysia — Johor Bahru’s largest indoor petting zoo, The Hidden Farm, is now open with over 40 animal species and an in-house cafe.
Located in Mount Austin, just 20 minutes away from the checkpoint, this indoor farm is a must-add to your itinerary.
In case you missed it, Mount Austin is an up-and-coming area with aesthetic cafes and family-friendly activities, from karaoke to art studios and onsens.
The Hidden Farm is a massive, high-ceilinged warehouse with good ventilation. Get up close and personal with exotic animals, without worrying about dripping in sweat or getting drenched in the rain.
The best part? There’s unlimited time access with a single entry fee.
Adults pay 38 MYR (about S$11.50) on weekdays and 48 MYR (about S$14.60) on weekends.
Children aged 12 and below pay 25 MYR (about S$7.60) on weekdays and 30 MYR (about S$9.10) on weekends.
Staff are there to facilitate supervised interactions and ensure animal welfare. Reviews have been praising their friendliness and extensive knowledge about each animal’s characteristics, age, and habits.
If you’re worried about the well-being of the animals, visitors have reported that they’re well-cared for in clean and spacious environments and by attentive zookeepers.
Some animals include the adorable Wallaby (yes, they’re the ones that look like mini kangaroos), raccoons, and prairie dogs.
Touch the soft paw of a raccoon or interact with the majestic parrot.
There are even rabbits, deer, hedgehogs, and snakes — the list just goes on and on.
Before leaving, don’t forget to check out the food and drinks available. Unfortunately, the menu isn’t available online yet, so you’ll just have to check out the pricing yourself.
Have a laid-back meal while enjoying the glass-panel views of the animals.
