Arnab Village

26th December 2016 (A backdated post)

After checking out from our chalet in Nepenthes Lodge, National Park. We decided to visit the rabbit farm in Ranau in two cars. But my parents, bro and sis in the other car decided to detoured and return to KK not long after the massive congestion from the National Park’s entrance up to several miles ahead on the way up to Ranau but we had no choice as that way the only route home. Missy has been chanting that she wanted to go to the ‘zoo’, she finally dozed off while we were still stuck in the congestion.

The rabbit petting zoo, Arnab Village is located at Kg. Purakugis, approximately 12km from National Park on the right. The ‘zoo’ was located further in from the junction. When we have eventually arrived, the boss was contemplating whether to wake Missy up but I insisted as I know this little girl will not stop chanting ‘I want to go zoo’ the moment she wakes up. Hence, I gently woke her up and to my surprise, she was up and about instantly and couldn't wait to barge in.

After we have gotten our entrance ticket with a small fee of RM2 (adults only), we waited no longer but to get into the rather new attraction.  It was really hot by then but luckily, there was some shaded area for us to stop by. We went straight into the rabbit pen where rabbits roam freely. Abby had a good time petting the rabbits and even attempted carrying them. 

Tickets are ready!

Abby was a little apprehensive at first

The small enclosure helped us to get around easily with a reasonable array of different breeds of bunnies. The big hit of it was the ability to get around with the furry friends in such close proximity. Being able to held them one after another was definitely going to turn out to be one of Missy’s best childhood memories :).  Apparently, the enclosure was in the midst of upgrading progress and we will definitely be returning in the near future.
