Nestled within lush greenery near the Upper Seletar Reservoir, the Singapore Zoo is renowned as one of the world's most celebrated wildlife parks. Spanning 28 hectares, the facility is designed as an open-concept zoo where animals live in spacious, landscaped enclosures tailored to mimic their natural habitats.
Rather than confining animals to traditional cages, the zoo employs moats, glass panels, and hidden barriers to separate wildlife from guests. This open design provides an immersive and humane viewing experience across a wide range of habitats.
Home to Rare and Endangered Species
The Singapore Zoo houses more than 2,800 animals representing over 300 species, including endangered wildlife such as the white rhinoceros, proboscis monkey, and giant river otter. Among its signature attractions is the orangutan exhibit, where primates swing freely across elevated treetop paths.
Another major highlight is the Fragile Forest, a walk-through biodome filled with butterflies, lemurs, and tropical vegetation. Beyond animal viewing, visitors can engage in interactive experiences, such as giraffe feeding sessions, wildlife presentations, and behind-the-scenes tours, while families often visit Rainforest KidzWorld for water play and pony rides.
Conservation and Education
The zoo plays an active role in conservation and public education, working to protect wildlife and preserve biodiversity. Guests can traverse ecosystems ranging from African savannahs to Southeast Asian rainforests either on foot or aboard the park's tram service.
