We had a great time at the KL Bird Park. It is the largest open air aviary in the world with more than 3,000 local and foreign birds. It is huge with plenty to see. Plus the monkeys have broken in and are wandering about stealing the fruit for the birds. So that does keep it interesting.
The KL Bird Park is located inside the Perdana Botanical Garden in the center of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The Bird Park is very large with over 20 acres divided into 4 Zones. Zone 1 and 2 make up free-flight zones, Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park where the Hornbill Restaurant & Café and Zone 4 is where the birds are placed in separate mini aviaries.
You should allow yourself plenty of time for your visit as it is pretty amazing and so much to see.

It is quite easy to get to by public transportation. Just take the Metro to the National Museum and follow the signs. Once you exit the metro you will be facing the National Museum.
