The farm was established in 1963 by local entrepreneur Jong Chian Sen.
Some of the older, massive crocodiles on-site are estimated to be over 80 years old.
The facility manages a dedicated incubator room for eggs to ensure higher survival rates for hatchlings.
It features a dedicated memorial space for Bujang Senang, a notorious man-eating crocodile from the Batang Lupar river.
The park integrates a small museum displaying preserved specimens and skeletal structures of various reptile species.
Jong's Crocodile Farm & Zoo is the oldest and largest captive crocodile breeding facility in Sarawak, Malaysia. The site spans 24 acres and houses thousands of crocodiles, including both saltwater and Siamese species. It serves as a conservation center and research facility, emphasizing the preservation of local reptile populations. Beyond crocodiles, the zoo features a mini-zoo section containing deer, monkeys, birds, and ornamental fish. The facility includes an on-site museum dedicated to the natural history of crocodiles and the farm’s development. Visitors can observe daily crocodile feeding demonstrations where handlers showcase the reptiles' jumping behavior. The grounds are landscaped with tropical vegetation, ponds, and walkways designed to facilitate close-up observation. It remains a primary destination for wildlife education in the Kuching-Serian corridor.
The raised viewing platforms during the feeding demonstration offer the best angle for capturing jumping crocodiles.
Wear comfortable, breathable walking shoes, as the site layout involves significant outdoor walking.
Bring mosquito repellent, as the humid, pond-heavy environment attracts insects.
Plan your arrival around the scheduled feeding times to see the most active crocodile behavior.
Do not wander off marked trails or into restricted breeding areas, as these zones contain aggressive, large-scale predators.
Maintain a safe distance from all enclosures; do not attempt to feed animals outside of guided demonstrations; refrain from tapping on glass or barriers.
