    Tourist or local like can have breakfast with our famous Orang Hutan - Ah Meng & family. However, you might want to call first as sometimes, if the orang hutan are not well, breakfast is cancelled. It's not that expensive but it is worth to do while in Singapore!

    Kids will be able to have fun and touch animals at the Children Zoo. They even have a small swimming pool for children to cool off... feed the goats, horses, rabbits, etc.. Its a touch and learn concept at the Children Zoo.

    Mummies & daddies.. expect to spent 1 day of you are bringing your children to the zoo and to discover every coner of the zoo.

    Another new item you should not miss, is the elephant show. Adults & kids would love it. Then you can ride on the elephants... be early or you will miss out on the animal rides.

    My advice - walk and not take the tram ..well, unless you are not well! There are resting places and shelter in case it rains. enjoy the atmosphere of rain forest at the zoo.

    The Singapore Zoo, formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Garden, is one of the country’s tourist spots having 1.3 million visitors every year. What’s amazing about this zoo is its Open Zoo concept, which gives visitors an opportunity to learn more about the animals in their natural habitat. There are 290 species in the Singapore Zoo, 21% of which are threatened species.

    You’ll see beautiful landscapes and animals peacefully living in their homes, a sight to behold.

    The Singapore Zoo is one of the better zoos. The animals aren't behind big bars-but are held back by natural barriers. Some animals (monkeys, birds) run wild through the zoo-which is quite interesting.

    The highlights include the Orang Utan, hamadryas baboons, elephants and my favorite, pygmy hippos. They are much smaller than the other hippos.

    The zoo has a breakfast and afternoon tea-which their orang utan and snake visits. You can have your picture taken with them.

    The world's first night zoo, and an award-winning attraction - you certainly won't want to miss it! Experience nocturnal wildlife on a 45-minute tram ride or take one of the three Walking Trails to experience the park in 8 geographical zones. In the cool of the night, catch the twice-nightly Creatures of the Night Show, or take a stroll through the Mangrove Walk, a free-ranging bat enclosure along the Leopard Trail. End your visit with a bite at one of the two restaurants located near the entrance or browse through animal-themed souvenirs at the gift shop.
    Opening times: 7:30pm to midnight daily
    Admission: SGD 18.00 Adult, SGD 9.00 Child

    I think anyone who says they didn't like the Singapore Zoo must not like animals.
    But seriously, I thought it was great. The landscaping is perfect and the animals are well kept in spaciuos "cages" often with other species which they interact with. The zoo also does an amazing job with the feedings and animal shows. They are very informative. Plus if you buy the park hopper (recommended) you can go to the Jurong Bird Park, the zoo, and the night safari for S$10 each.
    Keep your eyes open for the free roaming primates.

    Where can you go with your children when you're in Singapore to stop them from fidgeting? Well, the zoo for sure is one good place to start with.

    My family usually visit the zoo 4-5 times a year because one thing I learnt was that most kids are intrigue by the animals, and that's how I keep my little girl occupied. Monkeys swinging from one tree to another, roaring tigers, movement of the dominant elephants, just so many things for her to keep her eyes on.

    Singapore Zoological Gardens & Night Safari: Something different

  • It's still a safari, but to experience going to a zoo at night with just the stars and basically hearing the cricket and frogs making their noise, is an experience not to be missed.

    I was glad to have gone with two girls. It's eerie to walk at night in the trails, with sometimes no one in front or back of you.
    Also, what normally you see the animals asleep during the day, here are awake and very much active.

  • Directions: If you get at least 3 people to go, I would recommend to take a taxi. It ends up being the same price as the shuttle and much more convenient.

  • This is a great place to visit, especially if you have kids (as I do). One thing that's different, in comparison to other zoos, is that there are no cages/grills in between you and the animals. Cascading waters, lush vegetation and concealed moats enhance the freedom and natural jungle-like atmosphere for all the animals. There are a lot that you probably may not have seen before! Expect a lot of walking, but there's a trolley that goes around for a minimal fee.
    Another nice thing about it, is it's also a park where you can relax, watch the kids play in the playground, and enjoy the view of the enormous lake!

    If you want to celebrate your child's birthday with a difference, do try out KFC Birthday Party @ Singapore Zoo. You'd not only get food, but also special games, and even a 15 minutes appearance of an animal. eg. A Humongous Python. A super treat for your child.

    Only for the little ones. Within the compounds of the zoo is a little playground and a wading pool. Children can have a soaking good time with built-in water guns and water sprinklers.
