Public Bus
If you're starting from the city center, head to the nearest bus stop at Taman Bungkul. From there, take the bus number 1 or 1A heading towards Wonokromo. Remain on the bus for about 30 minutes until you reach the Wonokromo terminal. Once at the terminal, exit the bus and look for a small sign indicating the direction to Surabaya Zoo. It's a short 15-minute walk from the terminal. Walk along Jl. Setail and follow the signs until you arrive at the zoo entrance.
Becak (Cycle Rickshaw)
If you're at a nearby location such as Tunjungan Plaza, you can hire a becak to take you directly to Surabaya Zoo. Simply tell the driver 'Surabaya Zoo' or show them the address: Jl. Setail No.1, Darmo, Kec. Wonokromo. The ride should take around 20-30 minutes depending on traffic and will cost approximately IDR 30,000 to 50,000.
Taxi or Ride-hailing App
From anywhere in Surabaya, you can use a taxi or ride-hailing app like Gojek or Grab. Open the app, set your pickup location, and enter 'Surabaya Zoo' or the address: Jl. Setail No.1, Darmo, Kec. Wonokromo. The journey will take around 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic, and should cost between IDR 50,000 to 100,000.
