There is the Amfitheater with animal presentations. The staff was really enthusiastic in talking about the animals (Binturong, birds, snakes, civet) and they also talked about education and conservation. Also people could take pictures and feed a bird seeds. I did not have the feeling they were exploiting the animals at all. The park itself is quite OK, but not like the “western standard” we have in the Netherlands. But for an Asian Zoo it is not bad at all and worth the visit :-) Josua from the Netherlands
