Our Parks

Our parks are evolving from being “Viewing” parks to “Learning” parks; leisure attractions providing an experiential learning experience for visitors as they learn more about animals, birds, plants and the environment through sight and sounds, and to gain awareness on the need for conservation of wildlife.

Jurong Bird Park

Opened in 1971, Jurong Bird Park is the largest bird park in the world, offering a 20.2-hectare hillside haven for 7,000 birds representing 600 species. Its Heliconia Repository with 108 heliconia species and cultivars in its collection, is one of the largest in the region. With key attractions such as the Waterfall Aviary, Lory Loft Aviary, Southeast Asian Birds Aviary and the award-winning African Wetlands, the Bird Park attracted close to 900,000 visitors last year.

Committed towards conservation, the Park is the first in the world to breed the Twelve-wired Bird of Paradise in captivity and received the Breeders’ Award from American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society in 2001. In 2006, the Park became the recipient of Conservation & Research Award for the Oriental Pied Hornbill Conservation Project by IV International Symposium on Breeding Birds in Captivity (ISBBC). In Asia, Jurong Bird Park is the only park in Asia Pacific to have an Avian Hospital. It has a Breeding and Research Centre tasked to ensure the welfare, breeding and promulgation of birdlife and is also an Official Rescued Avian Centre.

Singapore Zoo

Set in a rainforest environment, Singapore Zoo's world famous "Open Concept” offers the opportunity to experience and be inspired by the wonders of nature. Home to over 2,500 specimens from 315 species, 16% of which are threatened, the Zoo has attained a strong reputation internationally for its conservation initiatives and breeding programmes.

To better meet the healthcare needs of its animals and working towards its aspiration to become a leading global centre of excellence for veterinary healthcare and research, a purpose-built Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre was set up in March 2006. The Zoo is designated a wildlife rescue centre by the governing authority.

In 2007, 1.5 million visitors enjoyed the experiential learning experience at the 28-hectare award-winning Zoo.

Night Safari

Night Safari, the world’s first wildlife park for nocturnal animals, is a seven-time winner of the Best Leisure Attraction Experience awarded by Singapore Tourism Board. It aims to preserve biodiversity, undertake public education, research and collaboration, and maintain and update the exhibits in the most humane, naturalistic and yet efficient manner.

This internationally acclaimed leisure attraction embodies innovation and creativity in products and services, and service quality, thus attracting more than 1.1 million visitors yearly.

The attraction offers eight geographical zones, which can be explored on foot via three walking trails and by tram. Over 1,000 animals from 120 species (of which almost 30% are threatened species) inhabit the 40-hectare park. The Park is a designated wildlife rescue centre by the governing authority.
