Mandai Wildlife Reserve | Singapore Zoo

This zoo is a must-see!! We took a 5-day tour package, and it was cheaper than on the official website, but you can't see that much in one day. There are multi-day tours, but none were available here. Everything at the zoo is thought out and organized down to the last detail. However, the intermediate pavilions are incredibly cold, so bring a jacket. Keep in mind that the M2 shuttle bus from the city to the zoo doesn't accept cash! Water is available everywhere, so bring a thermos or bottles and drink plenty. The bird park is incredible!! You're with them under a closed dome. They can land right next to you. We were thrilled! Wow!!
4/5
Singapore Zoo is one of the world's few top-tier zoos employing an open-concept design. Spanning 28 hectares, the animals live in simulated natural environments, allowing visitors to observe and interact with them up close. Popular highlights include:
• Feeding Giraffes: Hand-feed the tall, elegant giraffes and watch them stretch their necks to eat carrots – a gentle and fun interaction that's incredibly therapeutic.
• Sheep Brushing Area for Children: In the children's area, children can get up close to gentle lambs, brush their fur, and feed them, learning to care for animals in a fun and educational way.
5/5
I absolutely loved this option, unlike the night safari. We had a blast!
We saw many new, very interesting animals we'd never seen before.
The area is huge, and there's a lot of walking involved, but everything is very well designed. There are benches everywhere where you can comfortably rest in the shade, and plenty of cafes.
The tram has about five stops along the route. A huge advantage is that you can get off at any station, walk around, see the animals, and then hop back on the next tram and continue on.
At certain times, for a small additional fee, you can feed the giraffes and some other animals yourself—it's a great experience.
5/5
Singapore Zoo delivered a perfect, trouble-free day out—everything was fantastic! Open natural enclosures let you spot happy, active animals without harsh cages, grounds are immaculately kept, staff are friendly, and animal shows + feeding encounters are wonderful. Trams, kid zones, and clear signage make exploring effortless. No complaints at all; it’s a top-tier zoo well worth every minute.
5/5
Definitely a must visit!! Singapore zoo is by far the best experience especially if you stay at the Mandai Forest Resort! 5 parks of unforgettable experience! Kids still takks about it! Trip. Com always ease to book and something provides extra perks when purchase attractions tickets!

You can see various animals at a close and dark distance that you can't experience in Japan. The trolley, in particular, was so close it almost seemed artificial. I went with an 8:15 PM ticket, so I couldn't do all the walking trails, but I was very satisfied.
4/5
To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from the night safari, but my friend and I were quite impressed, especially with the sightseeing tram. First of all, the staff was very accommodating and helped us skip the line because of my friend’s medical condition. During the tram ride, we saw many amazing animals. I just wished the volume of the guide was a little louder so we could hear what he was saying about the animals, or that we had headphones to listen to the commentary. Also, I wished the tram ride lasted longer than 30 minutes. Another highlight was visiting their theater to watch and listen to other night animals. The guide did a lot of talking, and we only wish we had seen more animals. Since it was late at night, we couldn't do the walking trail, but we hope to visit again to experience that part.
4/5
I went to the Night Safari because it's a famous tourist attraction in Singapore. It's a bit far from the city center, and since it's a night safari, it's only open at night, so the location isn't ideal for people in transit. The wait time was about 20 minutes. As you'd expect from a night safari, it was dark. There wasn't any lighting, so it was dark and I couldn't see the animals very well.
5/5
Great night out to see the animals in their night environment- nicely all organised and safe for everyone.
4/5
River Wonders appeal in general, children are not interested.Night Safari is more special, but do not expect the small train can see a lot of animals.And between the parks have dining arrangements, in the middle to wait can eat and rest first

Life is too hasty, working every day, dealing with trivial matters, the body and mind are in a state of long-term tension, occasionally really have to go out to breathe, can heal themselves well. On this trip, the most fortunate thing is to encounter a very suitable accommodation, which makes the whole trip gentle and healing. The whole space has a very comfortable atmosphere. There is no cold business sense, but a lazy holiday feeling. The room is bright, clean, well ventilated, and the layout is very comfortable. You can sit, sleep, and stay in the room for a long time without being stuffy. After a tired day of playing, a soft bed can immediately relax your muscles and relieve all worries and stress. This place is far away from the hustle and bustle and has a quiet environment. It is very suitable for relaxing and calming down. Traveling does not need to pursue a full schedule, sometimes a good rest and moderate breakdown is the best way to recharge. This relaxing trip, living with peace of mind, having fun, thoroughly relieving the fatigue of weekdays, and renewing happiness is a worthwhile healing journey.
5/5
"Though mountains and rivers separate us, we share the same moon and sky." These eight characters encapsulate humanity's deepest romance for this blue planet. Going to different places brings different surprises; with paths beneath our feet, light in our eyes, and passion in our hearts, we'll try new tea with newly kindled fire, enjoying poetry and wine while we're young. We embark on journeys to witness unseen magnificence and experience vastly different customs and cultures. We measure the world with our footsteps and collect emotions with our hearts. On this journey, sometimes we may get lost in fog-shrouded valleys, and sometimes we'll be surprised by the sudden clarity of the sun breaking through the clouds. Having seen the vastness of heaven and earth, we are no longer confined to small gains and losses. Nature never urges a flower to bloom, nor blames a leaf for withering; it simply quietly embraces everything that happens. When we immerse ourselves in this world, our tense nerves slowly relax. The meaning of travel lies in letting the soul catch up with our steps. We begin to understand that attachment is the root of suffering, while letting go is the beginning of freedom. Every mountain we climb is a breakthrough to our own limits. When we reach the end of the watercourse, and calmly sit to watch the clouds rise, this is the most beautiful posture of life. We create memories with our footsteps, and create emotions with our hearts, making every moment eternal.
5/5
As the first gentle drizzle falls upon this land, the entire world seems veiled in a soft gauze, even breathing becomes long and gentle. This rain is unlike the torrential downpours of summer, nor the bleakness of autumn; it is fine as silk, light as cotton, like the sky's tender whispers, quietly smoothing all the rough edges of the earth. Strolling in this misty rain, there are no noisy worldly sounds, only the murmur of raindrops kissing the leaves—nature's purest lullaby. Distant silhouettes appear and disappear in the rain and mist, losing their usual clarity and sharpness, transforming into a profound ink painting. The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and the sweet scent of grass and trees; each deep breath is like a profound baptism for the soul. Here, time loses its original measure, and pace slows down. People are no longer in a hurry, but are willing to open an umbrella, or simply let the drizzle fall, to savor this rare tranquility. The gentle drizzle washes away not only the dust from our clothes, but also the weariness and restlessness that have accumulated in our hearts. It reminds us that beauty in this world doesn't always require bright sunshine; this tender, delicate rain also possesses a healing power. On this rain-nourished land, all things grow quietly, and the soul finds a haven in the misty rain, regaining a long-lost sense of peace and tranquility.
5/5
Let's use the newly kindled fire to brew new tea, and enjoy poetry and wine while we're young. The greatest taboo on life's journey is wasting precious time in hesitation and procrastination. We always think we should wait until we're fully prepared before setting off, but we don't realize that the most beautiful scenery often quietly unfolds the moment we bravely take our first step. Measure the world with your footsteps, collect emotions with your heart. Only when we truly immerse ourselves in the world will we realize that the anxiety and confusion accumulated in our cubicles are nothing but insignificant dust. Different mountains and rivers, but the same moon and sky; no matter where we are, we all look up at the same bright moon and feel the same gentle breeze. Having seen the vastness of the world, we are no longer confined by small gains and losses. The meaning of travel lies in letting the soul catch up with the footsteps, filtering out the impurities of the heart little by little during the long journey. When we reach the end of the road, we are no longer alarmed by the uncertainty of the future, but calmly sit down and wait for the clouds to rise. This is the true meaning of spiritual practice: allowing the soul to keep up with one's steps, and finding a path to inner peace in a complex and chaotic world.
5/5
Having witnessed the vastness of the world, we are no longer confined by petty gains and losses. We often imprison ourselves in the concrete jungle of the city, agonizing over trivial interests and heartbroken by unintentional remarks. Only when we pack our bags and embark on this unknown journey do we realize how immense the world truly is. Though mountains and rivers separate us, we share the same moon and sky. When we stand atop mountains, watching the sea of clouds surge below, those seemingly insurmountable obstacles instantly vanish into dust. The meaning of travel lies in allowing the soul to catch up with our steps, filtering out the impurities of our hearts little by little during the long journey. We no longer rush, but learn to calmly sit down when we reach the end of the road, waiting for the clouds to rise again. This is an outward exploration, but even more so, an inward awakening, allowing us to rediscover our purest selves amidst wind, frost, rain, and snow.
