Lake Gardens

The Lake Gardens is a huge 91.6 hectare park consisting of the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, an artificial lake, the National Monument, several manicured gardens, the former Malaysian Parliament and the Butterfly House. It was established in 1888 and although it is now in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, it is a great place to get away from the crowd and hassle of KL.

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is a 8.5 hectares large park. At the Bird Park are about 3000 birds of 200 species, mostly local but foreign birds as well.
