Night Safari

I was a bit dissapointed in the Night Safari. I’ll recomend the Jurong Bird Park instead.

The tram ride was nice, and had a very upclose veiw of quite a number of animals, but it felt very rushed. animial animal animal, bam bam bam… It didn’t even stop to let you take the time to really admire what you were seeing.

The walking trails were nicer in that you can take your time. Many of the habitats on the trail seemed tragically undersized compared to other zoos I’ve visited. It was nice to see the animals much more animated and moving around since many are nocturnal, but I got the impression that they were so active and responding to the crowds more because they were hungry and expected someone to feed them.

Wandering through the trails I didn’t see zoo keepers or even many employees at all except for the ones directing people onto the trams and into lines. No one was around to answer questions about the animals. Also, the signs for each animal gave very little information, just the name, food and general habitat. In all, it was not very educational

The show was mostly for kids.

Just awesome!

It was a romantic and chaotic at the same time :) Coz there were lots of children. I wouldn’t forget the fire attractions…dancers “gulping fire balls”..I felt like I was in Borneo. I couldn’t see some of the animals, thought coz it’s too dark and some of them were hiding…If only they’d known I had to pay to see them :)
