Deer Park — Attraction in Kuala Lumpur

Visited back in Jan.

The Kuala Lumpur Deer Park is an area inside the Perdana Botanical Garden. When I visited, only the enclosure viewable from a distance was open. Even that was partly shut as the bridge that is closest to the ground level was blocked off. From a distance, I counted less than 10 deer in total. So if you’re a deer lover, then prepared to be disappointed if you were expecting a close up view.

The grounds are nice, full of lush forested greenery and landscape. The enclosure was mostly grass with shade, but encompassing a far smaller area than the whole deer park. The deer park is worth a detour if you’re already visiting the botanical garden, but I wouldn’t go out of the way otherwise.

We visited Deer Park in Kuala Lumpur today with the kids and were immediately struck by the gorgeous nature and the beautiful variety of trees and flowers surrounding the area. It’s a peaceful and scenic spot, perfect for a stroll and enjoying the greenery.

This is a small exhibition area inside the Perdana Botanical Garden where you can see deer. Like the garden itself, it’s free to enter.

I'm not sure why deer are kept here, but you can find them just 5 minutes’ walk from the entrance, following the sign with a deer symbol.

Strangely, there are also three chicken coops along the path—two of them have chickens. I'm not sure why there are chickens in a deer park. They look like they might be for food, but who knows...

There are two paths to the deer area, but one is closed due to a landslide, so there’s effectively only one route. Be aware that it involves many stairs, so it’s not accessible for strollers or...
