    I recommend entering the park around 3 or 4 PM so you can see the night view and light show together! The light show, which is usually free, now requires an entrance fee due to the Christmas limited-time event 😂

    Worth the ticket, a little dark when walking the traila so those with difficulties seeing at night may need to bring a torch. The amphitheater show is just soso, but nice introduction to some of the nocturnal animals. Highlight is the train ride - somehow almost all the animals were active and within visible distance from the train. Food prices are ok, just slightly higher than outside. Staff are warm and helpful. Will recommend to anyone who is looking for a wholesome activity at night.

    Although it rained when we went today, it stopped after a while, so it was still a lot of fun. The kids kept asking for more laps, and even after buying four laps, it still wasn't enough. The scenery on the mountain was also great, and the rides were easy to pick up and play – no lines! It was a very lucky day.

    We were picked up by a professional driver at Sentosa Island and arrived at the island at 9:30 in the morning. There were not many tourists there, so we had a great time around the world all day. In the evening, we watched the Wings of Time show at the beach. We didn't feel tired at the end of the day and had a very fulfilling and happy time!

    Spend a fun-filled day at the award-winning Singapore Zoo, one of the world’s best rainforest zoos. Start your morning with a relaxing breakfast near the entrance before exploring the Fragile Forest, where lemurs, butterflies and tropical birds roam freely. Continue to Elephants of Asia and catch engaging keeper talks or animal shows like Splash Safari. Enjoy lunch at Ah Meng Restaurant with plenty of local and kid-friendly options. In the afternoon, visit Wild Africa to see lions, giraffes, zebras and cheetahs up close, then explore the Australasia and Reptile zones. Families can cool off at Rainforest Kidzworld with water play and pony rides. End your visit with a scenic tram ride around the zoo and a stop at the gift shop for souvenirs. A perfect full-day adventure for families, couples and wildlife lovers.

    Beautiful at night ir during the day. Extremely overpriced though. I would advise you make a reservation at one of the restaurants and enjoy the view rather than buying a ticket for the observation deck.
