Musolla @ KL Bird Park



The Musolla at KL Bird Park, a different building by itself near the parking lot, a few yards away from the Ticketing Counter.















The open-air ablution area with views of shrubberies and the bird park in the distance.
















The prayer hall
















LOCATION RATING: 8/10
Located in an open area in a quiet parking lot with little traffic. There's no covered walkway to the musolla from the main building, so if it's raining you're gonna get wet. :)

SPACE RATING: 8/10
We went on a weekend but not during peak season. Space is just nice for the number of Muslim visitors to the park.

SAFETY RATING: 6/10
The musolla is a separate building from the main building & Ticketing counter so it's far from the public area. It can get too quiet and we advice women not to go unaccompanied. Also, do mind our own shoes.

FACILITY RATING: 5/10
Basic facilities provided but there is no proper shoe rack to store your shoes safely. The door to the ladies musolla is broken and does not close properly, plus the ablution area for ladies is open air, so this cause major inconvenience to sisters who have to take off their hijabs. Community prayer clothes are provided but the cleanliness is questionable.

CLEANLINESS RATING: 5/10
Not well maintained and fixtures need fixing. Remember the ablution area for both ladies and men musollas are open area, so you need to watch out for bird droppings and little critters like bugs and geckos. 

OVERALL RATING: 6.4/10
