Enjoy @ Zoo

Protect those peepers!
Sensitive to sunlight? We recommend that you bring sunshades, sunglasses or visors to keep the glare away. Better yet, soothe on some sunblock for added skin protection.

Rain, rain, go away!
The rain sometimes makes an unexpected appearance. Having an umbrella or raincoat handy will ensure you remain dry should this happen. Many parts of the zoo are sheltered though, and you'll still be able to enjoy excellent views of the animals from there.

Mozzie alert?
Although the zoo does take preventive measures to keep the mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies at bay, you might want to consider bringing some insect repellant to make sure they stay away! The zoo is after all situated in a secondary rainforest and many animals treat this as a haven.

Take your time!
There's always something happening at the zoo. Allow at least half a day to enjoy what's available, but a full day would be even better. Make sure you pick up a map as you enter so you won't miss out on the many presentations, token feeding sessions, keeper talks, rides and photography opportunities that happen during the day.

Feet first!
Taking a leisurely stroll is the ideal way to enjoy everything the zoo has to offer. Comfortable footwear will ensure you get to explore the park endlessly minus sore and tired feet.

Tired of walking?
Then hop onto a tram to rest your soles. Or take a break at one of the air-conditioned shelters while you get your wind back. Many of our exhibits also have viewing galleries that allow you to observe the animals comfortably.Wheels galore! We realise long walks might be taxing for little feet. Parents can rent strollers and wagons for their children. Wheelchairs, both motorised and otherwise, are also available.

Stay hydrated!
As the weather in Singapore tends to be hot and humid year-round, do remember to bring enough drinking water, and keep drinking throughout the day. An ample supply is on sale at our numerous F&B outlets if you happen to run out.

Munch time!
Our food outlets serve a variety of cuisines to tickle every tastebud:
KFC and Pizzafari – Great for kids
Jungle Tandoor – Perfect for spice-lovers
Jungle Flavours and Forest Fare – For the undecided, Asian and Western delights are available
Jungle Breakfast – A delightfully unique dining experience with the animals

Remember though, to savour the food for yourselves and not to share with any of the animals. Their diets are well taken care of.Service with a smile If in doubt at any time, do approach any of our guest relations officers, or any of our staff in fact. They will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Repeat, please. Remember to visit the zoo often. New and exciting things are always waiting to be discovered.

See you again soon!

Happy birthday Party!
