Calling all animal lovers! When it’s safe to explore and sightsee again, make plans to visit Singapore Zoo, ranked as the world’s third best zoo by Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2018.
Singapore Zoo is world-famous for its “open concept”, where animals live and roam freely in spacious and landscaped environments which simulate that of their natural habitats.
The 26ha Singapore Zoo is home to more than 4,200 animals from over 300 species.
Find out why Singapore Zoo has been drawing big crowds since it opened in June 1973.
