Is it worth visiting Singapore Zoo?

Wonderful! I have never visited a zoo abroad but this one came highly recommended and I can see why! Animals all look well cared for and enclosures were good sizes minus cages and bars. The primates seem to have freedom to hang out where they like and the white tigers were stunning.

How would you describe Singapore Zoo?

Set in a rainforest environment, Singapore Zoo is renowned for its ‘open concept’, which offers visitors from around the world the opportunity to be inspired by the wonders of nature and wildlife. Animals here live in spacious and landscaped environments, simulating that of their natural habitats.

What is so special about Singapore Zoo?

The zoo attracts over 2 million visitors every year. From the beginning, Singapore Zoo followed the modern trend of displaying animals in naturalistic, ‘open’ exhibits with hidden barriers, moats, and glass between the animals and visitors. It houses the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world.

Is Singapore Zoo better than river safari?

the zoo is more value for money, there are more animals and more shows and more things to see and do. Typically it will be a full 9am- 6pm for me and my family. River Safari can be completed in under 4 hours but it is shaded and less tiring. So it depends on how much time you have.

What is interesting about the zoo?

Zoos cannot provide the amount of space animals have in the wild. This is particularly the case for those species who roam larger distances in their natural habitat. Tigers and lions have around 18,000 times less space in zoos than they would in the wild. Polar bears have one million times less space[2].

Is Singapore Zoo humane?

over a year ago. I feel that the Singapore zoo is among the most humane I have visited, and I have visited zoos in several continents including the San Diego and LA Zoos which are pretty highly regarded. The animals are all healthy and probably as happy as can be in captivity. They are kept safe and fed properly.

How long do you need in Singapore Zoo?

4 hours is the minimum required to cover just the zoo in a leisurely manner. Even then, many split the zoo/river safari and night safari over two days.
