The Best Zoos in Singapore
How this list is ordered: by how complete our listing is — how much we hold on opening hours, ticket prices, accreditation, photographs, animals and facilities. It is a measure of our own coverage, not a judgement of the venue. We hold no visitor scores or conservation assessments, so “best” here means every zoo in Singapore that qualifies for the list, fullest entry first.

Night Safari
Zoo in Singapore
Mandai Wildlife Reserve operates five parks, this one alongside River Wonders, Bird Paradise, Rainforest Wild ASIA and the Singapore Zoo. Rather than reversing animals' cycles inside a nocturnal house, the whole open-air zoo simply runs from 7pm to midnight. It takes up 35 ha of secondary rainforest beside Upper Seletar Reservoir and the Singapore Zoo, cost S$63 million to build and was formally opened on 26 May 1994.
-
Singapore Zoo
Zoo in Singapore
The zoo is operated by Mandai Wildlife Group, which also runs Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise and Rainforest Wild. Together the five parks hold over 15,000 animals of 1,000 species.
-
Bird Paradise
Zoo in Singapore
The park covers about 17 hectares, or 42 acres, within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, and its walk-in aviaries are twice the size of those at its predecessor. The reserve groups it with Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders and Rainforest Wild ASIA.
Our ranking methodology
This is not a ranking. The 4 venues above are listed alphabetically by name, the same order used throughout this site. We do not collect visitor reviews, star ratings, ticket-sales figures or a conservation-impact score, so none of those exist here to rank by — “best” in this page’s title means every venue that qualifies for this list, not first-to-last by quality. If we ever add a data source robust enough to support an honest ranking, this note and the order above will change together.
