A rainforest zoo with open enclosures, and the Mandai park we'd pick if the kids only get one. Arrive for the 8.30am opening while it's still cool, and check Mandai's announcements that morning for any exhibit closures.

Before you go
How much is a ticket to Singapore Zoo for visitors?
A visitor adult ticket is S$49 and a child's is S$34 on regular days, which are Monday to Friday except public holidays. Weekends and public holidays count as peak days on Mandai's price list, so check the rate for your date before you buy. Every ticket includes Mandai Gallery, and the zoo's tram rides are unlimited.

What should I bring to Singapore Zoo?
Bring a water bottle, a cap, sunscreen, insect repellent and a raincoat or umbrella. Refill stations are dotted around the zoo, and ponchos are sold in the gift shops if you forget. Wear comfortable shoes, because the zoo is best explored at a leisurely walking pace. Wild macaques link prams and plastic bags with food, so keep snacks out of sight.

When is the last entry at Singapore Zoo?
The zoo opens daily from 8.30am to 6pm, with the last entry at 5pm. The free tram runs a little later, with its last departures from 5.30pm at the first station to 6.15pm at the fourth. We'd start at opening and ride the tram early, so its last departure never becomes a deadline.
