Singapore Zoo & Night Safari
The world’s best rainforest zoo by day and the original Night Safari after dark — an unmissable thing to do in Singapore with kids.
About Singapore Zoo & Night Safari
Singapore’s Mandai wildlife reserves are consistently rated among the world’s finest. The open-concept Singapore Zoo lets you walk among free-ranging animals in lush rainforest, while the adjacent Night Safari — the world’s first nocturnal zoo — sends a tram gliding past lions, tapirs and leopards under moonlit forest. Together they make a magical full day.
