Night Safari

More things to do in singapore →

The world's first nocturnal wildlife park: a 35-minute tram winds through seven moonlit zones where lions, elephants and Malayan tapirs are actually awake, then walking trails take you closer to fishing cats and flying squirrels. It's Singapore's most atmospheric family evening — book the earliest slot and do the trails after the tram.

Highlights

  • Guided tram loop — Himalayan foothills to African river valley without leaving your seat · 1

  • Creatures of the Night show — Otters, civets and owls doing what they naturally do, amphitheatre-style · 3

Strategy

Tips
  • Tram first (queue shortest early), then walk ALL four trails — most visitors skip them and miss the best part
  • No flash photography — enforced; night mode on phones does fine
  • Eat before or at the entrance village; nothing inside the zones

Food nearby

Inside
  • Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant — Entrance village; Indian veg options present

Getting there

Options
  • MRT + bus — Khatib station → Mandai Khatib Shuttle (SGD 3, every 10 min)
  • Grab — SGD 25–35 from town, 30 min; book return in the app queue zone

What to carry

  • Insect repellent (essential)
  • Light rain jacket
  • Booking QR offline — signal is weak at Mandai

Pro tips

  • ParkHopper with Bird Paradise is the best multi-day family deal in Singapore
  • The 7:15pm slot sells out days ahead on weekends
  • Sit on the LEFT side of the tram for marginally better sightlines
