Singapore Zoological
Gardens and Singapore Night Safari
The Singapore Zoological gardens and the Singapore Night Safari
are both spin-offs of the Widlife Reserves Singapore, which also
owns the Singapore Jurong Bird Park. The mission of Wildlife
Reserves Singapore is to operate world-class
wildlife parks providing excellent exhibits of animals and birds
in their natural habitats for the purpose of conservation,
education and recreation. To date, the Singapore Zoological
Gardens and Singapore Night Safari have achieved fame in the
region with their Open Zoo concept - animals live in spacious
and landscaped enclosures simulating that of their natural
habitat.
Some famous celebrities who have visited the Zoo include Croc
Hunter Steve Erwin, Pop Group Enery and Perth Wildcats and
Sydney Kings. Both the Singapore Zoological gardens and
Singapore Night Safari are conveniently located at the same
place in Mandai Road.

Singapore Zoological Gardens
Home to 3,000 animals, the Singapore Zoological Gardens is a great place for adults and kids. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures that are
separated by dry or wet moats, in an Open Zoo concept to simulate
their natural habitats.
Come early in the morning and you can join in for breakfast with an Orang Utan named "Ah Meng" - the zoo's most popular and well-known mascot. You will also get to see barn owls flying past and animals like the gibbon and spider monkey clambering on a vine.
Starting from 9am in the morning and lasting to the end of the day, you may also join in the free tour as the keepers feed the various animals such as the polar bear.
Also, dont miss out on a tram ride or horse carriage ride round the zoo, but come prepared with sun-tan lotion as you spend a morning with the animals of the Singapore Zoological Gardens.
The Zoo is a hive of activity throughout thr day - catch the animal
feeding times, see the animal shows, take the tram or horse carriage
rides or simply visit the animal enclosures. Not to be missed are
the playful polar bears in their water enclosure. Catch their
feeding time at 1:05pm daily.
