Twitchers will be in their element in this kaleidoscopic paradise of technicolor plumage and tropical birdsong. Containing somewhere in the region of 3,500 feathery friends, Bird Paradise is the newest of the Mandai Wildlife parks, having opened its gates in May 2023. Here’s where you can get up close to pretty pink flamingos, striking scarlet ibises, majestic Philippine eagles, noisy laughing kookaburras and ostentatious Andean cocks-of-the-walk, with their brilliant orange crests. Your social feeds will never have looked so colorful.

It’s easy to while away an entire day exploring Bird Paradise, where 10 themed zones contain over 400 species across a whopping 42 acres. Say g’day to the emus in the Australian Outback, be dazzled by rainbow parrots in the Lory Loft, and hear Bali mynahs, straw-headed bulbuls, and laughing thrushes in full throat in the Songs of the Forest zone. Daily presentations featuring some of the world’s most successful winged predators give you the chance to watch harris hawks, white-bellied sea eagles and other majestic birds in flight.

Singapore Zoo is the reserve’s stalwart sensation, having spent the last half-century entertaining hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

Here’s where you can come face to face with over 4,000 cute, fearsome, majestic and downright weird creatures from Singapore and around the world. We’re talking everything from proud African lions and bashful white rhinos to two-toed sloths, Malayan flying foxes, golden-headed lion tamarins and stunning electric blue geckos.

Stare down an African painted dog (if you dare), grab a selfie with the orangutans and book a feeding session with the elephants, giraffes or zebras. There’s all this and much more across 12 epic zones.

River Wonders showcases all the weird and wonderful creatures you might reasonably expect to find living in and around the world’s waterways. That means that, round these parts, you’re just as likely to spot a graceful manatee or giant river otter as a prowling leopard or giant panda. The various zones are themed around some of the world’s biggest, most biodiverse rivers, including the likes of the Mekong, the Amazon, the Congo and the Ganges.

Take a meandering wander through its 30 acres, or hop aboard the Amazon River Quest boat ride to get a flavor of what’s in store. The Amazon Flooded Forest contains the world’s largest freshwater aquarium, where you can watch the manatees, giant otters, stingrays, red-bellied piranhas and other colorful riverine critters frolic under 10 meters of water. Hit up the Yangtze River zone to say hey to the giant pandas, and mosey up the Mekong to come face to fin with the biggest catfish on the planet.
