With the contour of the area where the zoo built actually it has a prospect to be a beautiful place. Unfortunately, the zoo need to be upgraded and need more maintenance. Also they need to arrange the street vendor inside the zoo and move them into a permanent shopping area outside. Because with all the tarp tent that the street vendor use, the zoo look so cluttered and messy.
The most sadden thing is that they chain the elephant to a pole. So it can't moves anywhere (It's consider as animal cruelty). If the reason is that the gate of the elephant area isn't strong enough than they should fix it immediately. Put the chain on animal isn't the solution .
I hope the zoo management together with Pemkot Bukittinggi find the solution immediately.

Jauh lebih bersih, rapi, dan terawat dibanding the last time I was there (which was 7 years ago😁). Honestly I didn't expect this place to be this good, so I was surprised when it looked great!
What makes me happier was because the animals were in great condition too (at least mostly, masih ada beberapa yang kandangnya kurang memadai, but still forgivable). Mudah2an para staf di sini selalu take a good care of them because if they didn't, I'd probably won't visit it again😁

Taman Marga Satwa dan Budaya Kinantan or better known as Kinantan Zoo is located in Taman Bundo Kanduang. This area was built in 1900 by a Dutch named Controleur Strom Van Govent. This wildlife park built on a hill called Bukit Malambuang.
At the start of construction, the park was not yet have a collection of animals. New in 1929 made the zoo to include several collections of animals into the park. In 1929 the zoo made by Dr J Hock and is the oldest zoo in Indonesia and the only one in West Sumatra.
Thanks to a very serious management by the Dutch colonial government, Bukittinggi Zoo continues to grow and achieve heyday in 1933. This year, farm animals Bukittinggi able to provide about 150 animals typical of the island of Sumatra at Surabaya Zoo. Conversely, Bukittinggi Zoo Surabaya Zoo received from a number of animals typical of Eastern Indonesia.
In 1935, in Bukittinggi Zoo built traditional house. Rumah gadang bergonjong' has 9 rooms and platforms on the right and left. On the walls of traditional houses have carvings that reflect the height of the realm of Minang culture.
To reach this location, tourists can use a landline. From the city of Padang to Bukittinggi,the trip can be taken for about 2 hours drive.
The zoo was originally named Kebun Bungo after it changes the name of a Taman Puti Bungsu. In 1995 through local regulation No. 2 of 1995 again changed the name of a Taman Puti Bungsu at Taman Marga Satwa dan Budaya Kinantan, along with his official fortress Fort de Kock joined through Bridge Limpapeh.
Bukittinggi Zoo also features the Museum of Zoology and ornamental fish aquarium. In the area of the zoo was built is also a place used to perform various types of traditional art performances Minangkabau.
There are also Rumah Adat Tradisional functioned as a museum displaying the objects of culture and history, like the Minang traditional clothes and jewelry.
No less interesting is the presence in the region Limpapeh Bridge Zoo Bukittinggi. This bridge connects Bukittinggi Zoo with Fort Fort De Kock located in Bukit Jirek.
Now, Bukittinggi Zoo is known as the Taman Marga Satwa dan Budaya Kinantan. A wildlife park which has undergone various changes, reaching a peak of glory, then recede in appalling condition.
The long journey of this wildlife park could not help make it as a precious heritage for all the children of this nation. Therefore, to maintain its existence in order to remain sustainable is the glorious duty of every child slung over the shoulders of this country.

Good for kids to know animals. Great place for family gathering. And there are some historical items too.

To be frank, this is the most pathetic zoo I've ever visited. The animal were not treated properly. The cage was awful and far from clean. All I can say to the management, should you read this comment, is: treat them well. Please.

Great place but the animals need to add more like elephant. Why did the elephant only 1. The management need to add more to increase the quality of the zoo. That is my opinion.

Best destination while you are in Bukittinggi, watching attraction, riding horse, riding elephant, endangered animal like orang utan, history building like fort de kock
Arne Grobe (21/06/2017 14:52)
Horrible zoo, cages are really small, mainly with concrete ground only. Animals have not enough space, and nothing to do .... castle is not worth a visit, so DO NOT GO or you will automatically support this horrible animal treatment....

Good walk for killing time

If you have nothing to do in Bukittinggi then it is worth a walk around. Entry is 15000 per person and includes Fort de kock and the zoo. Animals look pretty neglected. Elephants are tied up with front and back legs and thus don't look very happy.

It is the most upsetting moment I had was to visit this zoo in Bukittinggi. This type is zoo should not be allowed to exist as it is cruel to the animals to live in such small and crammed quarters. For the elephants to be tied up like that is disgusting. For goodness sake get into the 20th century and either update your zoo or let the animals free. I did read a few reviews of this zoo and the majority would agree with me------ a few ignorant people do not. Those people have not got a clue and should be tied up for a while
