    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.

    I recently visited the Singapore Oceanarium and was pleasantly surprised by the new installations. Right at the entrance, you’re greeted by a stunning display of jellyfish, mesmerising to watch and genuinely fun to learn about.The area has clearly expanded, and while not all the enclosures had animals during my visit, the space already feels thoughtfully renovated and visually impressive. It’s bright, modern, and easy to explore.Interestingly, the old entrance has now been redesigned to become the end of the exhibition, which gives the whole experience a fresh flow. Overall, it’s definitely worth visiting at least once to see the updates and new concepts.

    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.

    The museum, through its vivid historical materials, tells me that from ancient times to the present, from the Straits Settlements to the independent Republic of Singapore, Singapore, under the leadership of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, has created a miracle that belongs only to itself through the trials of time.

    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.
