Our pick

Night Safari or Singapore Zoo if I only have one visit?

With only one visit, pick the Singapore Zoo by day at S$49 for an adult on a weekday, or the Night Safari if the evening is free. The zoo opens 8.30am to 6pm, while the Night Safari costs more and runs after dark. We'd choose the Singapore Zoo with one day, and the Night Safari when you have two Mandai visits.
