This trusty fixture in Singapore\u2019s ever-changing attractions landscape is still\u00a0very much a crowd-pleaser, welcoming\u00a0more than 1.6 million visitors every year. Among the mind-boggling\u00a0plethora of <a href=\"https:\/\/travelblog.expedia.com.my\/tag\/family-trip\/\">family-friendly excursions and activities<\/a> that Singapore offers, the zoo reigns supreme on our must-do list. In fact, it\u2019s one of the world\u2019s best zoological gardens, and we\u2019ve been to more than a few!<\/p>\n<p>With its lush landscaped\u00a0gardens, free-roaming animals, inspiring tours, well-planned trails and entertaining shows, Singapore Zoo is well worth a visit, but you need to plan carefully to make the most of your time. The zoo is massive, covering a total of 28\u00a0hectares (or 50 football fields), making\u00a0it a formidable task to see and do everything.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure you don\u2019t miss the best bits, we\u2019ve put together\u00a0this handy guide to the Singapore Zoo.<br \/>\n<a name=\"topmenu\"><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Click to jump to:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#planning\">Tips for Planning Your Visit<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#itinerary\">Suggested Itinerary<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#practical\">Practical Information<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#bestzoos\">Best Zoos in the World<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"planning\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Visitors Guide to the Singapore Zoo: Planning Your Visit<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/rhino-divider-1024x58-1.png\" alt=\"rhino-divider\" width=\"1024\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First off, some insider tips as you plan your visit to the Mandai Zoo.<\/p>\n<h3>1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/things-to-do\/singapore-zoo-admission.a203402.activity-details\">Buy your Singapore Zoo tickets online<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The box-office queues can be horrendous, so skip them altogether to save precious time.<\/p>\n<p>The Singapore Zoo entrance fee is SGD 33 for adults and SGD 22 for children aged 3-12.

Zipping around in a buggy like a VIP, you\u2019ll enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the way the zoo works.

Get there any later and you\u2019ll be jostling with the hordes, making the visit much less magical. This is also the best way to beat the heat, as you\u2019ll be finishing up just as the midday sun starts to blaze.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Zoo First, River After<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re also planning to visit River Safari next door, we highly recommend leaving it until after your zoo visit, as the safari is much smaller.<\/p>\n<h3>5) Food in the Singapore Zoo<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/a.travel-assets.com\/mediavault.le\/media\/1a4d1fef713f5cac519a0b44ee5ddf4801ceef7c.jpeg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Missed breakfast in your rush to the zoo? Grab some grub at the restaurants and cafes at the main entrance; they\u2019re open from 8am.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively,enjoy a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoo.com.my\/special-experiences\/dining-with-animals.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">scrumptious\u00a0breakfast buffet<\/a>\u00a0at <strong>Ah Meng Restaurant<\/strong>, which is smack in the middle of the zoo. You\u2019ll revel in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dine with orangutans!<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry if you get hungry during your visit. After all, visiting the zoo is a whole day affair. There are restaurants, cafes and food courts in there so you can always take a break for some makan before continuing. KFC is right at the end, where you can\u00a0munch away as the kids play in the little water park.<\/p>\n<h3>6)\u00a0Rent a Wagon for the Kids<\/h3>\n<p>Children tire really quickly, so you might want to consider renting a small wagon (S$15), which comfortably seats up to two kids under the age of 5.<\/p>\n<h3>7) Go Potty<\/h3>\n<p>The zoo has a limited number of toilets, so make sure the kids go before you begin your visit. It&#8217;s a pretty cool toilet, open air but well hidden with potted plants.<\/p>\n<h3>8) Pack for the Weather in Singapore<\/h3>\n<p>The tropical climate can be unpredictable. Pack ponchos, raincoats or hoodies to keep you snug and dry when it rains. If you forget to take them, you can buy ponchos for S$5 each at the gift shops.<\/p>\n<h3>9) Wear insect repellent<\/h3>\n<p>The mozzies are especially active in the mornings.<\/p>\n<h3>10)\u00a0Remember to take your swimming gear, too<\/h3>\n<p>You and the kids can splash around in the\u00a0Wet Play Area\u00a0at the top of the zoo!<\/p>\n<h3>11) Pack a Picnic Lunch and Snacks<\/h3>\n<p>Though the zoo\u2019s restaurants and kiosks offer a decent range of drinks, snacks and meals, beware the snake-like queues. Save yourself the aggravation by packing a picnic lunch.<\/p>\n<h3>12) Schedule for Showtimes<\/h3>\n<p>There are various showtimes scheduled to introduce you to the animals in very entertaining performances. The kids will love these. Plan your route around the park to make it early to show time and get a seat.<\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019re ready to have fun!<\/p>\n<p>[button url=&#8217;#topmenu&#8217; icon=&#8217;entypo-up&#8217;]Back to Top[\/button]<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"itinerary\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Visitor&#8217;s<strong>\u00a0Guide: Singapore Zoo\u00a0Suggested Itinerary\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/rhino-divider-1024x58-1.png\" alt=\"rhino-divider\" width=\"1024\" height=\"58\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MORNING at the Zoo<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3>Morning Roar<\/h3>\n<p>Once the doors open, head straight\u00a0for the <strong>otter<\/strong> enclosure at the start of Rainforest\u00a0Walk.
