Farm In The City Hosts ‘A Farmtastic’ Carnival Extravaganza In Celebration Of 10-Year Milestone





 Come one, come all! Farm in the City (“FITC”) is celebrating 10 years in business by hosting a three-day fun-filled carnival in celebration of this auspicious occasion. Perfect for families and animal lovers of all ages, the event will run from the 8th to the 10th of October and will be full of exciting activities that are sure to keep you busy!


Get to know the native wildlife like you’ve never had the chance to before through spectacular animal parades and special appearances from the patrons of the farm, including the latest addition to the family, Bubu, the pygmy buffalo.


Founded by the veteran in the field with over 20 years of experience and "Father of Petting Zoo," Dato' Allan Phoon, Farm In The City has taught families all across Malaysia about the joys of nature and the importance of being kind to our natural wildlife since the day it first opened its doors 10 years ago.


Championed for being completely free of cages and creating special enclosures which mimic as closely as possible to their natural surroundings, FITC has made it their life mission to continuously spread their passion for wildlife and environmental education through carefully designed programmes for local and overseas students of all ages on themes of conservation and preservation.


For their efforts, the farm has been deemed MyTQA certified and won several awards such as the Sin Chew product award, as well as the record holder for ‘Most Animals Species In A Petting Zoo’ by the Malaysian Book of Records.
