I visited the Singapore Zoo for the first time 10 years ago, and now I'm back. Honestly, I'm disappointed. Back then, I thought it was the best zoo in the world, but now, for some reason, there are so few animals—there are signs, but you can't see any animals. The fish have also become less numerous and less diverse. It seems like half the animals in this zoo have died, and they haven't brought in any new ones. Plus, the shows are all boring, lazy, and overweight girls! Apparently, they ate all the food instead of the animals, and the animals died of starvation. The show itself is boring; how can you ruin a bird show with such specimens? You'd have to be clever, but they managed it. Overall, watching the show is a waste of time; it's better to spend more time wandering around the bird park. The park itself hasn't improved in 10 years; it hasn't been updated and is already outdated.

我只騎了狩獵電車,因爲沒有足夠的時間我晚上10點左右到達,幾乎是最後一次展覽。預計天很黑,因爲它是夜間野生動物園,但我會說,如果你的視力不好,也許你根本不會看清楚,因爲我的視力很好,但有些部分仍然很黑暗,我可以看到任何東西,當然你不能使用閃光燈,因爲你會打擾動物。我想如果我去,也沿着小路走,也許對我來說更有趣?我真的喜歡的動物是白虎,獅子,犀牛和大象。我推薦你視力好的話🤣

The Night Safari in Singapore is a truly unique experience, a must-see! The atmosphere is truly special: you feel like you're entering a mysterious world that awakens with the onset of darkness. The English mini-train (tram) is a special delight. It's very convenient: you hop on and speed around a large area, listening to the guide's captivating talk about the animals. We saw elephants, tigers, tapirs, and many other animals that emerge from the shadows at night. The attraction is superbly organized: the animals feel free, and you observe them in their natural habitat under special lighting that doesn't disturb them. Be sure to take time to explore the walking trails—there you can see the animals the tram can't reach. If you stay until closing time (like we did), be prepared for the fact that ordering a taxi at night is a real challenge.

It was a wild zoo that you can't experience in Japan, and there were lots of things to see and it was fun.

4/5
It gets very crowded on weekends, but the trams rotate quickly so you can generally get on right away. You should apply immediately after completing the show admission procedures. The shuttle bus is the same as the city bus, and you can get on immediately by tapping your credit card. It's a circular bus so if you wait it will come quickly, and if you follow the signs you shouldn't get lost.

I didn't do much preparation beforehand, but it was a very large and impressive place. However, it gets quite hot in the outdoor areas, so a hat or parasol is essential.

Mandai Wildlife Reserve | Bird Paradise

Bird Paradise

Bird Paradise

As the largest bird park in Asia, Bird Paradise is a vibrant jewel nestled within Singapore’s sprawling Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

Home to approximately 3,500 birds across over 400 species, the park is a sanctuary for global biodiversity. Its crowning glory lies in eight massive walk-through aviaries, each a living masterpiece, from the lush African rainforests and South American wetlands to the tranquil rice paddies of Southeast Asia.

It is more than a sanctuary; it is an immersive, multi-sensory journey into a world of brilliant feathers and natural wonder.

I really enjoyed it. We went with the idea of ​​seeing at least something new, but in the end we saw almost no familiar birds. Only at the end of the show were our eagle owls, eagles, and so on. There were so many unusual and beautiful birds. We Siberians really enjoyed it.
