Good family excursion. Comes with a leisurely river cruise which you don't have to go. The extra 5 bucks for unlimited Amazon quest rides is worth it even if you just see the jaguar.

Adley

Woooow! Great boat ride and great shelters for all species of fish . Especially loved the manatees ! There are 10 of them in amazing water tank. Also loved the panda shelter.

Ben Mayson

I think this place is underrated. It's s bit different. Has some unique animals. It's also well designed and not too hot for young kids.

Ting

Scenic views with all covered walkways, this zoo is a good option for visitors who want to shun the sun. Periodic pit stops in the A/C also provide the much welcome respite from the heat outside.

Cheen The Curious

The Amazon River Quest ($5 per rider) is about 15mins casual walk from the main entrance. The “river ” ride takes 10mins to complete. U get to see tapirs, jaguars & monkeys

Cheen The Curious

Starbucks. The coffee chain runs 2 cafes at the zoo : one here at River Wonders (next to entrance), & the other at Bird Paradise (with a playground ). No zoo admission fee required

Ferry Mulyadi

Just been opened few days, half of attractions still not yet opened, including the boat ride . Most interesting is the panda attraction . At 11am they have animal show with birds and cute hedgehog .

Elizabeth Lee

Lots to see, so be prepared to walk. Boat ride and river quest were rather short . If not for free admission tix , not sure if it is worth going, or even a repeat visit. Do go for the Amazon River tho!

Winnie Khoo

Fave: manatee , sea otters, monkey, panda ; steamed bao , iced Milo in souvenir cup ; skip: Amazon river ride

Shar Patigas

Amazing place! Be sure to purchase your tickets online and to avail the multipark ticket for bigger discounts .

Ervin K.

Remember to book slots for the Amazon River Quest Ride at the visitor service counter. Book before noon during peak days to prevent disappointment. Currently FOC for each admission tix bought! :)

Krishna Nataraj

The river safari is almost fully covered and makes a great day trip on a hot and sunny or rainy day (both of which would make the zoo difficult).

Анастасия Солодкая

Good, interesting place. 👍 Good free boat ride . I like Amazon Ride too. I think it is very good for children and adults!

Taylor Kiker

Basically another mini zoo with some river ecosystem exhibits . The two highlights are the manatee and panda exhibits . The "cruise " is 15 minutes and very lame unless you've never been on a boat.

Yoram Cisinski

Probably the best of the 4 parks . Very educational and varied. The Manatees aquarium is a big plus.

aaa bbb

boat ride was short and lacked excitement. boat reservation is out fast so its best if you come here in the morning and spend the afternoon at the Singapore zoo .

Anna Litvinuk

We arrived at 4 pm, bought the boat ride tickets right there. Pandas is the reason we entered. Rather interesting. 1 hour is enough for visiting.

Jin Ngee Chia

Come here mainly for the pandas . The other exhibits are just as good but I feel the main day zoo is still a better attraction .

Destination Asia

River on-stream - Asia’s first river-themed wildlife park has been recently opened its doors to the public. Read more

DRC

Good mix of fresh water creatures, pandas and deep sea creatures . Pity that the Amazon river cruise was suspended due to technical issues.

C

Different themed 'rivers ' with many interesting animals..some of which U can touch!

Brecht Hortensius

Some fantastic aquariums & the pandas of course but overall disappointing & no value for money with 2 boring boat rides (1 @ extra fee).

The Ritz-Carlton

Don't miss giant pandas , Kai Kai & Jia Jia who can be seen playing in their natural habitat at Singapore's River Safari .

Amelia D

Great place to visit with the kids beautiful animals and beautiful nature!

Sie Ferry

I went there just to see one animal. PANDA . Its so cute and you won't be bored even if you stare him for an hour.

Maynard Tann

Pandas are the highlight. The lines for entry tickets can get long so purchase them online. You the don't have to queue.

Shar Patigas

So many information about the different rivers of the world and how to preserve them as well as the wildlife .

Aki

Pandas are rare enough to be worth the visit. Also works when raining, place is 100% covered!

Ric Chung

Remember to get the boat ride tickets at the grand reception there and not be caught without it as there isn't a counter at the actual boat berth

Pedro Aguirre

Nice experience but can't take boat ride to see Amazon river ... Tickets sold out very fast. To walk around the park takes around 2 hours

Mavina M

Marine life varies

Sheepie

Last boat ride is 430pm! Reserve early and make sure you don't miss the ride!

Adryl L

Crowded crowded crowded . And no space for people to take the river boat ride even when people arrive at 11am. For real? That's almost half of the entire place missed out.

Matthieu Achini

Beautiful place, come at the opening to avoid too many people

Shajjad Mustafa

If you are a nature, safari and zoo lover you will come.

Elise ❥

Heaps of fish and the red pandas are very cute !

Sibele Spaolanse

Arrive early if you want to go to the boat!

Tino Buranasilapin

New zoo in Singapore with cute furry pandas , Kai Kai and Jia Jia .

Nicholas Koh

We cleared the place in about 3 hours. Highlight for me was probably the dugongs, not the pandas . Food and drink are expensive , and not a single water cooler in sight!

LukaSH

Second part of Singapore Zoo . Lots of animals including pandas !

Ping Kiung

The place is still enjoyable even if it is raining. Most walkways are sheltered

Elise ❥

A better alternative to the zoo if you don't like getting sticky and sweaty.

Dimas D Utama

You can see panda and sneak peak to the polar bear exhibition

Amy Z

Boat ride is only 15-20 minutes long. Too fast to really watch the animals along the way.

Bernard Chan

Dun bother coming after 11am. No boat ride = half of attraction gone. And u can finish the attraction in 2 hrs

Matthew Kenneth Lim

Catch the boat ride as early as 10am!

Shar Patigas

Kai Kai and Jia Jia are so worth the travel!

Michael Cheng

You need to be 1.06m to go on the Amazon River Quest boat ride

Jonathan

Go during week and term time. Empty and no time restrictions for staying in the Panda enclosure .

Very cool place! Went on a weekday morning so there weren’t many people around. Enjoyed the huge aviaries and letting the birds get close to me. Many restaurants and cafes and air conditioned spaces - Elise ❥
