I think this place is worth a visit. There are lots of animals, it's spacious. There are lots of trees, and it's nice to walk around. But I'll note that if you want to see pandas like I did, you'll need to buy a different ticket for the Marine Wonders/Marine Safari. For some reason, I was told online that pandas were at the zoo, and when I didn't see any, I was a little disappointed. Overall, there's plenty to see in the zoo itself. Be sure to check out the animal feeding station; it's quite a sight.

Bringing children and mothers along is very convenient for family and parent-child travel. The park offers a great experience by allowing reservations to feed various animals and see different species up close, making it well worth a visit.

It’s one of the best experiences in Singapore, and I have some Tips: - arrive as earlier as possible because the animals are most active in the morning and then they sleep or hide from the sun - arrive as early as possible because it will be very hot after 11am , and it is unlikely that you will be able to get around the zoo in less than 5-6 hours- take charger with you because you will do lots of photos

Singapore Night Safari 🌙🐅 First, we took a tram around the park, and seeing the animals in the dark was a different and enjoyable experience compared to a daytime zoo! Afterwards, we headed to the Leopard Trail 🐆. We thought we'd just see that and head back, but we ended up walking much more than expected 😂. If you're going to the trail, I recommend checking the route beforehand and making sure you have plenty of time and energy. The experience of walking through the jungle at night was truly memorable ✨

We visited as a family of four. Unlike a daytime visit to the zoo, the experience of seeing animals while riding a tram through the dark jungle at night was very refreshing, and the children enjoyed it. We were able to see nocturnal animals, which are usually difficult to see, up close, and it was great to slowly tour the park on the tram. Furthermore, the walking trails allowed us to see the animals from a different perspective than from the tram. The nighttime atmosphere was unique, and it really felt like we were exploring a jungle. If you're visiting Singapore on a family trip, I think this is a place worth experiencing at least once. It was a memorable trip for the children, and we all had a wonderful time as a family.

It was cool and not crowded, so I was able to take my time and enjoy seeing the pandas.

Surprisingly, we could stay for quite a while, although we spent 40 minutes waiting for the boat. It was more like a small amusement park ride, with some interesting elevation changes. You can see the pandas directly with your naked eye, without looking through glass, and their live food-eating demonstration was absolutely adorable! Next time, I'd like to visit the zoo or other areas. This time, we didn't have enough time and only went to the river. The plush toys were easier to buy than at Universal Studios, which is quite important.

I was debating between Sentosa Aquarium and River Wonders, but River Wonders also has an aquarium on par with the Sentosa Aquarium. There was plenty to see, and everyone enjoyed the boat ride we took in the middle of the trip. Since the zoo is large, we chose to visit just one place, and it wasn't hot at all; I was very satisfied!
