Night Safari Fodor's Frommer's Lonely Planet Condé Nast Traveler Michelin Guide The Telegraph
80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore 729826, Singapore
From $0/night
Fodor's "Right next to the Singapore Zoo, the safari is the world's first wildlife park designed exclusively and especially for night viewing." Full review
Frommer's "Singapore takes advantage of its unchanging tropical climate and static ratio of daylight to night to bring you the world's first open-concept zoo for nocturnal animals." Full review
i
Flash photography is strictly prohibited, and be sure to bring plenty of insect repellent.
Lonely Planet "Next door but completely separate from the zoo is the Night Safari. You can walk around the three trails in the 40-hectare forested park but the best experience is via the tram." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The first of its kind when it opened in 1994, this twilight zoo is as close to a real jungle adventure as most of us will ever want to experience." Full review
Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"You can see the wild animals prowling around at night in this equatorial jungle barely lit with discreet lighting." Full review
The Telegraph "Given Singapore’s blistering weather, a trip to the zoo is most appealing after dusk." Full review
