The Jungle Breakfast lets diners get up close with the zoo’s impressive orangutans, the first of many shows that drive home the zoo's mantra of conservation. The Rainforest KidzWorld (bring swimsuits) is popular, and the acclaimed open-conceptdesign brings visitors right up to the animal habitats. « less

It´s nice enough if you have kids, otherwise it´s just a zoo. As decent as a modern zoo should be, the animals have enough space I guess. I enjoyed the bus ride from the MRT, a way to see the area if it´s your first visit to the place, but with hindsight I should have visited a nature reserve instead. More

The zoo is good, but it is like everything exciting like feeding the animals and elephant ride costs more money on top of the entrance fee, so not much different to Australia and all the good animal shows are on at the same time, who organised that? For one of the shows, only 2 small areas were undercover, so a... More

We chose to get up and have breakfast with the Orangutang's, and it really was a great experience. The breakfast itself is pretty average but the chance to get up and close to these remarkable creatures is unforgettable. I did it with my parents 24 years years ago and I was so glad to share the experience with my children.... More

I really enjoyed the night safari! As a Canadian, I had never even heard of most of the animals. If you go early enough you can ride the tram more than once! More

That's a world class place. Huge zoo with excellent customer service, incredible diversity... If you live in Singapore, be a member! Almost sounds like their marketing department ;) A gem for family, the only inconvenient is that it is pretty far away, taxi is recommended, about $15 from the city. More

We did not do our homework so the kids did not have swimming gear but luckily the shop sells them. The little waterpark is suitable for all ages. My kids 9, 5 and 1 had a wonderful time. The rest of the zoo is pretty awesome too, The kids loved all the shows. More
