Wow. This place is far bigger than I thought.
When the staff said that it is impossible to finish this place in one day, I have to agree with her 100%.
If I were to include the amusement park and botanical gardens, I think I would need at least 3 whole days. I only had time for the zoo.
I went goo goo ga ga at the koala and spent the longest amount of time there because they were so cute, and there were so many of them with big bright eyes, instead of the usual sleepy faces I see in Australia Zoo. I felt like going inside and hugging one koala because because they are so irresistibly cute. 😍 Can I bring one home as a souvenir, please? 😁
This place is located in a very convenient location because it's only a stone's throw away from the MRT station.
I would say that this is a big plus because it reduces the amount of walking and subsequently feeling tired time.
I took a ride on the flamingo paddle boat because my child was really looking forward to it. And so was I. One of the nice things about this boat house is that there are many kinds of designs to choose from. had to hurry my child to stop hemming and hawing because time was running short and we had other places to go to. I would say that it's definitely worth the money because the lake is huge and the view is beautiful. I'm talking about the autumn leaves. BUT my knees were really tired after the ride...
But if two adults take turns, I think it will not be so tiring. For me, it was tiring because I was the one doing most of the paddling.
When we got off the boat, the owners were kind to let feed the gigantic koi. He even told us to put a finger in and swiggle it in the water and let the koi bite.
Although he said it was not painful, I was too squeamish to try. Try it if you dare. Haha.
I also paid a nominal sum to go up the sky tower, and I think it's worth the view. So, if you have time, please come up and enjoy the scenery. There weren't that many people when I came and it was quiet, and it was nice to just sit there and relax.
Their chimpanzee indoor enclosure is the biggest I've ever seen. It has a bright and airy feel, not that I have ever been inside.😅
It's got different well-designed areas for various unique animals. There are also many different spots under renovation. English descriptions are here and there. The yellow train line takes you direct to the gate.
A lovely zoo, though it would be better if the wild cats had larger enclosures. It’s a bit sad to see them in small cages. Some animals, like the chimpanzees, were not available during our visit. There are nice picnic spots throughout the zoo and botanical garden.
My son was amazed by the animals especially the koalas and gigantic polar bear! The building with fishes was a wow! Bison, tiger, rhino, wolf, noisy sea lions, scary vultures are one of the highlights of this zoo. The ambiance is great, lots of chairs to rest. Great zoo staff!
Used to come here quite often. It's fun and has a low ticket price. Wide array of animals ranging from birds to mammals to reptiles to fish. There's a nice observation deck to overlook the park and city. Arguably nicer than the zoo is the botanical garden at the back of the zoo with many large gardens, ponds, and plants.
