The Singapore Zoo Welcomes IMF delegates

Come September 2006 Singapore will be hosting the International Montetary Fund and World Bank meetings. The whole country welcomes 16,000 delegates with the "Four Million Smiles" movement and their $$$. We need their extra spending power here to increase our earnings. So please Spend and enjoy.

Remember: Visit the Singapore Zoo.

Just imagine all of them (including their families) visiting the Zoo, the profit will be good for the Singapore Zoo!!!!!

Maybe Special treats for the animals, Hee hee. Bonus for the trainers and keepers.

Buy combo tixs

I suggest anyone visiting to take advantage of combo tickets which allow entry to Singapore Zoo and Night Safari at a discounted rate.

The Zoo's shows have been overhauled recently under pressure from animal rights groups, so now they feature natural behaviours and are less contrived. Do volunteer though, the shows no longer plant staff in the audience.

At the Zoo, must-sees include:

1. Fragile Forest - features rainforest ecosystem, with a walk-through biodome housing free-ranging lemurs, sloths, fruit bats, tree kangaroos, parrots and butterflies.

2. Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia - African-themed, highlight will a very virile troop of 70+ hamadryas baboons.

3. Elephants of Asia - stlyed after logging camps in Thailand, features a daily logging demonstration.

4. Tiger Trek - home to 3 white bengal tigers, first exhibit developed under a new 'Learning Zoo' initiative to transform the Zoo into an outdoor classroom.

Of course, you can't miss the Orang utans which Singapore Zoo is famous for. Soon there'll be a free-ranging activity for the orangs, where you'll actually be able to see them swinging among live trees right over your head. The trial phase was well-received and final stages of evaluation are almost complete.

As for Night Safari, its still unique enough to merit a visit. Recent additions to the safari include a walk-through giant flying squirrel habitat and a new nocturnal animal presentation.

Singapore's animal parks are very much 'hands-on' and encourage close contact between animals and visitors, done safely of course.
