About Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park opened on 15 November 1991 and covers 20.9 acres, about 8.5 hectares, of the Lake Gardens with more than 3,000 birds of over 200 species. A netted canopy encloses the walk-in aviary, so visitors stand under free-flying storks, hornbills and ibises at head height rather than looking at caged birds. The park charges RM90 for a standard adult and RM70 for a child, as of 2026, and is one of the largest covered bird parks in the world.

Best time of day: 09:00 - 11:00. When the birds are most active and the aviary is coolest.

History of Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park was planned from 1987 and built from 1988, opening on 15 November 1991 as an aviary on the slopes of the Lake Gardens beside the Perdana Botanical Gardens. The park houses about 90 percent local species and 10 percent imports from Australia, China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Thailand. Early critics complained about upkeep, but by around 2000 the grounds were described as landscaped, clean and shady, and the park draws about 200,000 visitors a year.

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is enclosed by a large netted canopy over a hillside valley, with a walk-in aviary that lets free-flying birds share space with visitors. Exhibits include hornbill and flamingo areas, a lorikeet feeding area where visitors can hand-feed the birds, an education centre and regular bird performances and feeding shows. The Lake Gardens setting also gives the park a cool, wooded feel compared with the city centre.

Rules & etiquette at Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park sells tickets by nationality, so non-Malaysians must choose the non-Malaysian category when buying online or risk being turned back at the gate. Children aged 3 to 11 are charged the child rate, and Malaysian residents must show a MyKad or MyKid.

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park expects visitors to keep to the boardwalks and paths, which can be slick after rain, and to follow the signs at feeding stations. Loud noise and sudden movements frighten free-flying birds, and touching birds outside supervised feeding areas is discouraged. Visitors should carry water and wear closed shoes, and keep sun protection on despite the shade, since the aviary is humid and warm. Keep food out of sight in the lorikeet area.

Tips for visiting Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

1
Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is best reached at opening, around 09:00, when birds are active and the boardwalks are dry, and the 17:30 closing means late arrivals see only part of the walk-in aviary. Buy the RM90 adult ticket online and choose the non-Malaysian category, as of 2026, and plan roughly two and a half hours for the full loop plus a feeding show.
2
Kuala Lumpur Bird Park sits inside the Lake Gardens beside the Perdana Botanical Gardens, the Butterfly Park, the National Mosque and the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, so a full day can combine three or four sites within walking distance. Bring a light rain jacket, since afternoon thunderstorms are common between October and March, and wear shoes with grip for the slick paths. The aviary can feel humid, so start early.
