A permanent exhibition on how a 1970s zoo grew into a wildlife destination. Mandai's own page lists admission as complimentary. It's a good rainy 45 minutes between the Zoo and Night Safari.

Good to know

Daily 10am–7pm

In the same building as Curiosity Cove, so follow the signs for that

Before you go

Mandai's own page says admission to Mandai Gallery is complimentary, and it is open daily from 10am to 7pm. The gallery sits in the same building as Curiosity Cove, so you can pair the two on one stop. It tells the story of Mandai's growth from a small zoo, which makes it an easy add-on.

Mandai Gallery traces how a small zoo grew into Mandai Wildlife Reserve. It has old photographs, a floor-to-ceiling multimedia show called Wild To Wall, and stories of animal ambassadors such as Inuka the polar bear and Ah Meng the orangutan. A digital wall lets you add your own message for wildlife. We'd treat it as a rainy half hour, not an afternoon.

Mandai's page sends visitors to its Getting Here & Around guide, and the Mandai App has a Transport feature and a wayfinding map for the area. The gallery is in the same building as Curiosity Cove, so follow signs for that and you will find it. Start with the app's transport tab before you leave home.
