If you thought Museum Satwa's replicas and specimens were awesome, you've seen nothing yet until you've visited Batu Secret Zoo! Here, you'll enjoy the genuine ones. Batu Secret Zoo will deliver an experience that will satisfy you in more than one way.
Located in Batu, East Java, Batu Secret Zoo comprises an area totaling 14 hectares. It opened in 2001. It's a great place for the whole family and all staff and workers are super friendly. It's more of a modern zoo displaying animals native to Indonesia as well as foreign imported animals.
When you come in through the gate, antiseptic is sprayed on you in order to protect its animals from any potential viruses visitors may be carrying. Then, your trip starts with different types of flying lemurs.
Next, you'll spend some time observing unusual species locked inside metal and glass cages, fences, or aquariums where you'll be amazed. It might seem impossible for anyone just to skip or look at each species with a rapid scan. But if you happen to grow tired at any point in the heart of the zoo, know that visitors could always use an e-bike to cruise along the tracks. Also, you could take fantastic pictures with exotic animals. Employees can even assist you by managing your camera as you pose with any number of likeable animals such as a baby lion or a large albino tiger, if you're daring enough.
You'll find varying kinds of species originating from different parts of the world but Antarctica in this zoo. For example, a hippo doing its usual swimming routine inside an aquarium-looking cage, huge turtles, ostrich, apes, foxes, bears, bulls, emu, elephants, mountain goats, flamingos, giraffes, and much more carrying on in their artificial but comfortable habitats.
You could even go so far as to tease them by mimicking their sounds, however, you're not permitted to feed them. The exception is Kalongs, a type of large bat. Before its cage there is its favorite food--bananas--which you could grab a piece of with a toothpick and begin feeding them as they hang about.
