What is widely known as Singapore Zoo is actually just one part of Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS), a self-sustaining organization in charge of the most-visited and award-winning zoos in the small island country.
Composed of Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Safari, and Jurong Bird Park, WRS offers unforgettable educational experiences that anybody with a spirit for adventure, especially little explorers, will love.
Here, we’ll fill you in on Wildlife Reserves Singapore’s four main attractions:
Singapore Zoo
The fact that Singapore Zoo is home to more than 2,400 specimens of over 300 species of animals is already awesome. But what makes this 26-hectare close-to-nature destination even more amazing is how its inhabitants live in an open rainforest environment. On your visit, you will get to see animals like tigers, zebras, and giraffes—among many others—roaming freely in spacious and carefully landscaped zones that replicate their actual natural habitats.
