🦎 Hidden Animal Paradise in JB You Have to Visit!🪿

Tucked away in Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, there lies a hidden gem that animal lovers and weekend explorers will adore — The Hidden Farm (aka the indoor petting zoo) 🐾

✨ Why it’s worth the trip:

• Over 40 species to meet (from alpacas, fennec foxes, raccoons, hedgehogs, to reptiles & parrots) — all within a spacious, indoor cooling warehouse setting. Whether you're bringing your kiddos or even a group of friends, i'm sure you'll enjoy as much!

• No time limits — your entry ticket lets you wander, rest, revisit your favorite animals at your own pace.

• In-house café on site — so you can grab a drink or bite while watching animals through the glass windows. 

• Great for all weather — being indoor means rain or shine, you’re covered. But do note that there is a strong smell, so be prepared with some medicated oils or inhalers for your trip.

The Hidden Farm Mount Austin
2025/9/28 Edited to

... Read moreHaving visited The Hidden Farm myself, I can confidently say it offers a refreshing experience for anyone eager to interact closely with a variety of animals. The indoor setting is especially welcoming on hot or rainy days, making it a reliable weekend destination in Johor Bahru. While the animal enclosures are spacious, some areas do have a noticeable animal scent, so I recommend bringing along medicated oils or inhalers if you’re sensitive. The café inside is a lovely touch, offering refreshments where you can relax while still watching the animals. I found it great for groups of friends too—not just families with kids. If you’re interested in photography, the indoor lighting is decent for capturing clear shots of the exotic creatures, but go prepared with a camera that handles low light well. Many visitors appreciate that there are no time limits on your ticket, letting you spend as long as you like without rushing through. The ticket prices are reasonable considering the variety of animals and amenities provided. It's also worth noting that The Hidden Farm offers an opportunity to learn about less common animals like fennec foxes and alpacas, which you rarely get to see up close. Overall, The Hidden Farm stands out among JB’s petting zoos because of its exotic animal collection and comfortable indoor environment. Whether you’re a local looking for a new weekend spot or a traveler seeking unique animal encounters near Singapore, this hidden paradise in Mount Austin is well worth a visit.
