Johor Zoo will open its nocturnal experience, called the ‘Johor Night Zoo’, to the public today, the 27th of March 2026, following the initiation by the Regent of Johor, HRH Tunku Ismail.
Announced by Johor Menteri Besar, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi through his official social media pages, the night experience will provide a new opportunity for Johor residents and tourists to enjoy the beauty of the zoo at night, with more than 35 new and exciting species.
To ensure a more comfortable, safe, and appealing environment, various upgrading works involving drainage systems, sewerage, electrical substations, and lighting were carried out with an allocation of RM8.73 million.

“The state government places serious emphasis on safety and cleanliness with the involvement of zookeepers, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and RELA; regular patrols; and ambulance deployment, in addition to cleanliness management that is carried out on a scheduled basis to ensure the comfort of all visitors,” Onn Hafiz said in the statement.
