Also a nice food court to enjoy some typical snacks and swe...

The birds are used to human, so nice to interact with them from close by. Nice collection of Indonesian animals and plants. The info signs of the animal should be managed better. Need to tidy up and some maintenance everywhere. Food for the animals are better sold in the reception so no need to exchange coins for dispenser. In the playground, the ducks will love some water and pond.
