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 more than 2,400 specimens of over 300 species, 34 per cent 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. Annually, approximately 1.9 million visitors enjoy experiential learning journeys at the 26-hectare award-winning Zoo. Singapore Zoo is part of Wildlife Reserves Singapore. The Zoo is a designated rescued wildlife centre by the governing authority.

It was one of the best zoos I visited. I would say I got blessed with light rain so there was no crowd there. A well kept place, clean and nice though still too small for all the animals. It took me 4 hours to walk around and even enjoy a quick lunch. The entrance fee is a bit high but it still was a pleasant experience. I would advise to visit river wonders for fishes and panda and bird paradise on the same day. They are located near each other and you will manage to see all of them if you arrive a bit earlier. I would suggest 3-4 hours for the zoo and an additional 2-3 hours for other locations. It would be an intense day though.

We took a taxi to the Singapore Zoo as our lodging was located at Orchard Road- quite a distance with the MRT including transfers. The forecast was rain at least a good part of the day but we decided to go forth with our plans. One thing for sure is that the Singapore Zoo is ready for inclement weather such as rain as there are coverings all over the zoo so you don't really get too wet and also to protect from the hot sun at times. We were able to see all the animals that we had planned to see.
During our visit in August, the Singapore Zoo was in the midst of celebrating the zoo's 50th birthday with a lot of colorful inflatable animals to take pictures with.
The animals were arranged in environments that are convenient for us to see them- even through the glass windows.
Make sure you check the schedule online before your visit to see what zookeeper talks and feedings of various animals you are interested to see and hear. They are very on time with these sessions and it is a great opportunity to learn more about species that are new to you. It can help make your visit to the Singapore Zoo more memorable.
The signs and displays for the animals are whimsically and colorfully decorated to keep you interested to read them. The animals all appeared very contented in their enclosed environments.
There was a shuttle bus that ran around the zoo but the lines were long; therefore, it was much easier to just walk.
There are nice exhibits on the Hamadryas Baboon as you can see them playing around in their outdoor environment-- good to stop for a few minutes and observe their social behaviors such as grooming and cleaning each other, especially the moms with their baby.
The Proboscis Monkey exhibit is also another nice one to see as it is a rarity that one can see them as they are endemic to the Borneo jungles. The exhibit is nicely arranged where there are plenty of trees for them to climb and move around. Their unusual large noses (adults) definitely are a sight to see especially when they are trying to eat. There were quite a few subadults as well and females as their noses appeared to be much smaller but still large for a primate.
When leaving if you plan to take public transportation with the MRT, there are signs to direct you over to the Kaibab Shuttle that is necessary to connect with the MRT station. The bus ride is about 15 minutes and runs on a schedule of every 15-20 minutes. The cost is only 2S (about $1.47) a ride and you can uses your credit card for this transaction.
Definitely worth at least 4-5 hours for a visit to this well-organized zoo in while you are in Singapore.

Amazing to see the Orangutan’s and White Tigers at Singapore Zoo, a fantastic place definitely a place to visit when in Singapore. The wild river experience was worth it to see the Pandas.

We paid 60 euros for the evening safari! A delusion! Two hours of queuing to get on the trains that take you to see the animals. Four animals on the cross, some were not even visible. All for less than half an hour of tour. I don't recommend it!

Very diverse, great exhibits. The nature is amazing there. We feel that the animals are also happy to be at that zoo. One of the best zoo in the world!

I have been to Singapore a few times in the past, a lot of changes since my last visit a few years ago.
Regarding the zoo:
Breakfast with orang outans was a good experience despite the price paid for this but honestly we were expecting a bit more value for money.
Also the lay out of the zoo seems different since my last visit, less animals to see this time compare to other zoos I have visited which were smaller in size...
I acknowledge the work done for wildlife preservation from Singapore Zoo and the sea lion show was very entertaining.
We much preferred bird paradise though ( formerly Jurong bird park ) and I am deciding if I should go visit River Wonders...
