While Singapore may be trending at the moment thanks to its stint in Crazy, Rich, Asians, but beneath the glam and street food, Singapore is also known for its zoos and wildlife parks! I was given the opportunity to explore the four parks under Wildlife Reserve Singapore<\/a>, Singapore Zoo, River Safari, Jurong Bird Park, and Night Safari recently and I have so much to share about each of these places.<\/p>\n

You can’t miss exploring these four parks with your loved ones! I’m going to kick start the 4-part series on why you should visit each park with the award-winning, Singapore Zoo.<\/p>\n

\"Singapore<\/p>\n

With approximately 1.9 million visitors annually, the Singapore Zoo spans 26 hectares, housing over 2,400 animals from over 300 species and is renowned internationally for its “Open Concept” rainforest environment, conservation initiatives and breeding programmes. The zoo also opened the Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre in March 2016 that features a viewing gallery that allows visitors to observe the animal surgery and treatment area and interactive displays to educate them on the work of the zoo vets.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 Reasons To Visit Singapore Zoo:<\/h3>\n

1.Having Breakfast With The Orangutans<\/h4>\n

\"Singapore<\/p>\n

This is your chance to dine with the VIPs of the Singapore Zoo, the Sumatran and Borneo Orangutans thanks to the zoo’s popular and award-winning Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife programme<\/a> where you’ll be able to enjoy a buffet breakfast at Ah Meng Restaurant’s Terrace while the Orangutans are having theirs on their pedestals at the same time. Though you can’t share your food with them but you can still grab a photo with them as they’re having their breakfast.<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting way to see them up close and learn more about these majestic creatures. You might even spot them at other parts of the zoo because Singapore Zoo has the world’s first free-ranging orangutan habitat in a zoo, there are specially-made branches and walkways just for them to wander around, to resemble it as close to its natural habitat. Sometimes, you might get some special guest like this milky snake to make breakfast time even more exciting.<\/p>\n

2.Go Behind The Scenes With Reptiles At The RepTopia Tour<\/h4>\n

They may seem creepy and scary but you’ll learn to love them reptiles as you get acquainted with some of the zoo’s snakes, bearded dragons, frogs, and more during the RepTopia Tour<\/a>. You’re brought behind-the-scenes in the research centre where you’ll learn about the different species and have hands-on experience after the safety briefing.<\/p>\n\r\n
