Respect the RulesThe animals must be respected in particular: converse at an appropriate volume, take photos without flash and do not throw anything into the enclosures. If you book an activity with interaction, follow the guidelines of the zoo staff. After all, you are visiting the animals in their home!

Singapore Zoo - from RepTopia to Wild Africa in one day
Originally opened in 1973 as Singapore Zoological Gardens, the zoo is now part of the Mandai Wildlife Group and one of the best zoos worldwide. It belongs to Wildlife Reserves Singapore, which also includes the River Safari, the Night Safari, and the Bird Park. The zoo is also known worldwide for its commitment to animal welfare and strives to house animals in their natural environment.Breakfast in the wild
Initially conceived in the 1980s as Breakfast with Orangutans, Breakfast in the Wild is one of Singapore Zoo's most popular attractions. Here you can enjoy your breakfast - as the perfect start to your visit - amidst the rainforest, and get up close with various residents such as orangutans, native birds, or reptiles. However, note that a separate ticket must be purchased for breakfast. Online booking in advance is highly recommended.A tropical polar bear?
In December 1990, the first (and to date, the only) polar bear in the tropics was born at the Singapore Zoo: Inuka. He lived to be 27 years old - a respectable age for a polar bear. Polar bears live an average of 15 to 18 years in the wild, but can live up to 30 years in captivity.Lemur in the 'Primate Kingdom' | Photo: Unsplash, Toby Seaman
Increase in giraffes
In May 2021, the zoo received a Rothschild giraffe couple, Adhil and Balaj, from the Indian Mysuru Zoo as part of the EAZA Species Conservation Programme. The Rothschild's giraffe is one of the most endangered species in the world and needs to be protected. By the way, the first giraffe born in the Singapore Zoo was in August 2015 - and as Singapore celebrated its 50 years of independence that year, she is named Jubilee.Giraffe feeding at the Singapore Zoo | Photo: Unsplash, Jackie Park
Experience the animals up close
