The Singapore Zoo is a zoological facility located in the highly forested central catchment area of Singapore, 27 km from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and 31 km from Changi Airport. It is one of the top attractions in Singapore and is regarded as one of the best zoos in the entire globe.

The Singapore Zoo, which was once known as the Singapore Zoological Garden or Mandai Zoo, is located on the edges of the Upper Seletar Reservoir and covers a land area of 28 hectares (69 acres). The Singaporean government contributed SGD 9 million for the construction of the zoo, which was completed and inaugurated in 1973. Wildlife Reserves Singapore, which also oversees the nearby Night Safari, River Safari, and Jurong Bird Park, runs it. The Singapore Zoo welcomes over 1.9 million visitors each year and has received nine awards from the Singapore Tourism Board for Best Leisure Attraction Experience. The zoo’s original 28 hectares have not been increased. However, the Night Safari was later built on 40 hectares of secondary woodland.

The Singapore Zoo, which is divided into 11 Zones, is home to more than 2,400 creatures from about 315 species, 16 percent of which are endangered. The zoo has a free-ranging habitat where animals can move around without restraint in their natural habitat. Since the animals are allowed to live almost exactly as they would in their natural habitat and are kept apart from the visitors by dry and wet moats, cages are practically nonexistent. The  world’s largest captive orangutan population is located there. At the zoo, you may witness the recognisable Asian elephants, Binturong, Himalayan Thar, Kangaroos, Mousedeer, Pelican, and a plethora of other species of birds and animals that will astound you.

Since it first opened in 1973, the zoo has worked hard to enhance both its offerings and facilities. Breakfast with an Orangutan, one of the cutting-edge initiatives launched by the zoo in May 1982, quickly gained popularity. The zoo built its first amphitheatre in 1985 to host animal shows. The Splash Safari, Elephants Presentation, Rainforest Fights Back, and Animal Friends Show are some of the zoo’s most well-known animal performances. Fragile Forest, the zoo’s first walk-through exhibit, debuted to the public in 1998. The exhibit, which recreates a rainforest, has one of the largest environmental cages in the world and includes animals including lemurs, sloths, flying foxes, and butterflies.

The zoo has developed a number of educational and outreach initiatives over the years for young children, students, and families. Day and night camps, workshops, and tours of the backstage areas are all included in these programmes. For instance, the Kidzranger Tour is a practical educational activity that lets kids work as zookeepers and enter off-limits parts of Rainforest Kidzworld. Children can engage in an endless array of entertaining activities, such as feeding and stroking goats or riding a pony. Play in the aquatic area of the playground before visiting the Pets’ Corner to observe bunnies, chicks, and other small furry companions. In addition, a number of volunteer programmes have been launched to promote conservation.
