Kiddos, animal lovers, and families — Johor Bahru has a hidden gem waiting for you 🦁✨. My top pick? Johor Zoo! Clean, well-organized, and way better maintained than many other zoos I've seen, this spot is a real lifesaver if you’re searching for things to do with kids in JB.
Must-See: Johor Zoo  
📍Location: Jalan Gertak Merah, Taman Istana, 80000 Johor Bahru  
🕰️✅ Opening hours: 09:00–18:00 (tickets till 17:00) Mon, Wed-Thu, Sat-Sun; Closed Tues; Fri: 08:30–12:30 & 14:00–18:00  
The zoo is surprisingly spacious and clean, featuring shaded walkways, easy-to-navigate paths, and a nice spread of animals — from majestic lions and playful monkeys to cool reptiles. There are loads of spots for snack breaks too (perfect for littles with small legs!). If you’ve been put off by messy zoos before, this one will seriously change your mind.
💡Quick tips:  
- It’s stroller-friendly!  
- Arrive early to beat the crowds and the heat  
- There’s a small play area for kids and benches everywhere (nap breaks, anyone?)  
- BYO reusable water bottles; refill points inside  
- Bring cash for tickets (no card!)  
🚗 Getting Around:  
Local buses and Grab work great, but if you’re coming from Singapore, cross the border on foot and catch a Grab — super fast and cheap.
🍞Food:  
Don’t expect gourmet options inside; grab a bite at nearby Jalan Wong Ah Fook for local eats after your visit.
Extra: Watch out for Friday’s split opening hours!
