There’s A Stunning New Sunflower Field In Malaysia, RM6 Entry Includes Petting Zoo Too
Think of sunflower fields and places like Amsterdam, Taichung, and Khao Yai might come to mind. But there’s one closer to home for us Singaporeans, and it’s located just across the border in Malaysia.
Part of Taman Ular Dan Reptilia Negeri Perlis, also known as Perlis Snake Park, this cheery field of yellow blooms is not too far from Penang and entry is an affordable RM6 - that’s less than S$2! This fee also covers access to a petting zoo, with reptiles and furry friends like rabbits, deer, and guinea pigs.

This sunflower field at Taman Ular Dan Reptilia Negeri Perlis was opened just a year ago in July 2019, and it has since become a photography hotspot for many Malaysians.

Just like their counterparts in Taiwan and Thailand, these sunflowers are towering ones, some even taller than us humans.

As its name suggests, Perlis Snake Park is also home to, well, snakes. The place is essentially a petting zoo and farm, so you’ll get the opportunity to get up close and personal with these slithery creatures, with the help of their keepers.

There are other reptiles like turtles and crocodiles as well. Don’t worry, the crocs are all kept separately so they won’t make a meal out of you.

If scaly specimens aren’t your thing, perhaps you’ll prefer to play with furry friends like rabbits, guinea pigs, and deer.

Taman Ular Dan Reptilia Negeri Perlis is located at the far North of Malaysia, so it’s not the most accessible for us Singaporeans, but it is possible to drive there from Penang in less than 2.5 hours. Embark on a multi-city road trip “next door” and drop by for a refreshing dose of flora and fauna!
