the Zoo:

there's nothing like seeing animals during meal time.

Zoo, Night Safari and Bird Park offer joint tickets valid for one
month: adult combination tickets to any two attractions cost $30,

stopover back to Australia. We did not take a guided tour but took a
taxi direct from our hotel. This was not expensive.

guests to roam around the zoo, being close to many animals and their
environment.

Night Safari & Singapore Zoo Apr 10, 2008 The Singapore Zoo is an
absolute must see, while visiting Singapore.
Singapore Zoo & Night Safari Nov 23, 2007 The Singapore Zoo is a great
place for both children and adults. Among all the zoos in Southeast

Singapore Zoological Gardens) is acclaimed as one of the world's most
spectacular zoos. The use of natural barriers like streams, rock walls
and vegetation to separate animals from visitors enhances the "open"
zoo concept.
The Singapore Zoological Gardens is set in a rainforest environment
with an open concept where animals are kept in beautifully landscaped
and spacious enclosures stimulating that of their natural habitats.
The animals are separated from 1.
However, the Singapore Zoo also recognizes a legitimate need to obtain
animals from the wild for various programs, namely, conservation
breeding, education or basic biological studies, therefore it has to
be confident that such acquisitions from the wild will not cause a
decline in the wild population.
Although the Singapore Zoo is set in a rainforest environment, meaning
lots of trees and shade, the best time to visit it is early in the
morning, when the weather is cool.
The Zoo opens its doors daily at 8.
Send Photo to a FriendThe Singapore Zoo has one of the finest and
beautiful collection of animals in the world.
You can have breakfast with the Orang Utans (Ah Meng is the popular
star).

Transport to Singapore Zoo from Tanjong Pagar Train Station + Luggage
Storage
by: Gabriel Tan
Hi there
the Malaysia-Singapore train ends at the Tanjong Pagar Railway
Station, along Keppel Road.
The Singapore Zoo has storage facilities for bags. These are
coin-operated lockers - at $3 per locker. You'll find the locker room
to the right of the ticketing booth at the entrance.
Each locker can hold up to a reasonably sized haversack.
The taxi from Tanjong Pagar to Singapore Zoo is likely to set you back
S$15-20. However, there's a peak hour surcharge of 35% on the metered
fare before 0930 on a weekday. So your fare is likely to be about
S$20-28 per taxi.

Inaugurated in 1973, the Singapore Zoological Gardens offers one of
the best experience of its kind in Southeast Asia, comparable to the
one of the Dusit Zoo in Bangkok. Occupying an area of 28 hectares, it
hosts 315 animals, of which 16% are threatened species.
The Singapore Zoo and its entire land area of 28 hectares are set in
an environment similar to a natural dense rainforest on the edge of a
huge freshwater reservoir called the Seletar Reservoir.
the various animals, the Singapore Zoo is more importantly an
educational venue that gives high importance to the effective
dissemination of information about animals and what we can do to
conserve wildlife.
A visit to the Singapore zoo is the closes thing anyone in Singapore
will get to the Safari experience ever, from the safety of well
constructed and fascinating enclosures.
The Singapore zoo is very much a primal destination, a place
where some part of us is awaken and no matter how old we are, we start
to become children - pointing and smiling .
For not, the Singapore zoo is festooned with many animal exhibits,
from the traditional orang utan all the way to animals from the
fragile forests all over the world.
