Four parks on one Mandai ticket, plus the Sentosa aquarium

Singapore's wildlife attractions sit in two places: the Mandai reserve in the north, where several parks share one site, and the aquarium on Sentosa in the south.

Here is the list of 5 Wildlife Parks in Singapore

1. Singapore Zoo

Singapore Zoo
4.5 /5

Regarded as one of the best zoos in the world, the Singapore Zoo is spread across a vast area of 70 acres. It is a remarkable place offering natural habitat to over 3600 mammal, birds and reptiles. It is famed for housing the largest captive colony of Orangutans in the world. Another major highlight of this lush landscaped attraction is the Rainforest Kidzworld, a technicolour play area for the little ones.

2. Singapore Night Safari

Singapore Night Safari
4.3 /5

World's first nocturnal zoo, Singapore Night Safari is located next to the equally popular Singapore Zoo. Housing more than 130 species of animals, it uses the open-concept enclosures or trams to take the visitors on a 45-minute commented tour of its nocturnal animals and habitats.

3. Singapore Oceanarium

Singapore Oceanarium
4.7 /5

The aquarium on Sentosa reopened in July 2025 as Singapore Oceanarium, after S.E.A. Aquarium closed for an expansion. It now holds around 100,000 animals across 800 species in 45 million litres of water, laid out over 22 zones. The walk-through shark tunnel and the Open Ocean tank, with its manta rays and giant groupers, are what most people come for. It is the one entry here that is not in Mandai.

4. River Wonders

River Wonders
4.5 /5

River Wonders, renamed from River Safari in 2021, is the smallest of the four Mandai parks at 12 hectares and the only freshwater one. Its zones follow the Mekong, Congo, Nile, Ganges and Amazon, and it holds around 11,000 animals across 260 species. It is the only park here with giant pandas, and the Amazon Flooded Forest tank holds manatees.

5. Bird Paradise, Singapore

Bird Paradise, Singapore
4.7 /5

Bird Paradise opened at Mandai in May 2023 in place of Jurong Bird Park, and holds around 3,500 birds across 400 species over 17 hectares. Its eight walk-through aviaries each take a region, from the Antarctic penguin enclosure to Heart of Africa, the largest of them. Of the Mandai parks this is the one that works best in a morning, since most of it is walked rather than trammed.

Mandai is a half-day minimum, so plan around it. One day in Singapore shows what it costs you elsewhere, and water parks in Singapore the other family option.

FAQs on Wildlife Parks in Singapore

Which Mandai park should I choose?

Singapore Zoo for daytime and the widest range, Night Safari for the after-dark tram through nocturnal enclosures, and River Wonders for the freshwater habitats and the manatees. Multi-park tickets cost less than separate entries.

How long does Mandai take?

Half a day per park, realistically. Two in one day is possible if you do the zoo in the afternoon and Night Safari in the evening, which is the standard combination since they share a car park.

What should I know before booking?

Each park runs scheduled animal presentations at set times, and tickets are timed at Night Safari. If presentations are not what you want, the parks are perfectly walkable without attending any of them.

Is SEA Aquarium worth it?

It is one of the largest aquariums in the world and works well on a Sentosa day, particularly in bad weather. It is a tank-based aquarium rather than a park, so it takes about two hours.

How do I get to Mandai?

It is in the north of the island, roughly forty-five minutes from the centre. There is a shuttle from Khatib MRT, and ride-hailing is straightforward. Allow more time coming back in the evening after Night Safari closes.
