Our visitor centre provides a rare chance to see sun bears in our natural forest enclosures. 

Open since 2014, we offer visitors the chance to see rescued ex-pet sun bears on their road to rehabilitation, as well as local flora and fauna such as orangutans, macaques, squirrels, and diverse tropical tree species. 

Our signboards offer information in multiple languages to describing the unique features of the sun bears, their important roles in the forest and their current threats.
