Night Safari Questions & Answers

Night safari or river safari? Which one is better for a family of 4? We will be visiting the zoo and the bird park as well

Actually Night Safari, River Safari, Singapore Zoo are all gathered one place.

So if you can spend whole day for Kids, you can see them all at once.

But if you want to visit only one, i suggest what your kids more like between animal in water or on the land,

If your kids love fish, crocordile and so on. You would better go River Safari.

If not, you can show your kids animals at night. It would be a rare experience for them.

I don't know whether your country has a night safari(we don't have) or not.

They can see what animals do at night. and also i recommend you that first you can take a train(?). They explain animals while you take a train. take off it any place which your favorite animals are there. you can walk and hear a sound in Safari at night.

I dont know how to explain it, but it was so~ good.

But if your kids are so young and can't wake up at night. better to go River safari.

OH!! this month to Aug is most hottest wether here. take suncream, sunglasses, may be an umbrella ~ and water.

Hope it will help you. Enjoy!!

i am travelling to singapore with my 7 year old son... we are doing the night safari... so should we do the river safari or bird park?

can luge be played using play 5

I am going for river safari. Also planning to see zoo. Ny idea how much time should i keep for the zoo?

Yes i will also be taking zoo and river safari . lets see wat is the experience.

Thank you guys. We are all aged 17 and above so no kids in the scene. Anyways, we thought visiting Madamme Tussads would be better as we feel that both the River Safari and Night Safari would feel repetitive. So, we are going to the Zoo, the Bird Park and Madamme Tussads. Your thoughts? Wise choice?

Go early to zoo then river cruise cause both close up at 6.Don't worry about night safari,

Night Safari is best and great for kids.

Given to choose between the river safari and the night safari, I would recommend you to go for the night safari.

I have only done the night safari and I've been told it's the better vs river safari.

As you are going for the zoo and bird park, River Safari is a better option in comparison with Night Safari.

As you are going to the zoo, River Safari is a better option in comparison to Night Safari.

I have only been to Night Safari but that is what the Singapore Zoo is famous for. I would take children there. It is very cool.

IF you go to the zoo, then, suggest you to choose river safari.

First, the animals are similar for the zoo and the night safari

Second, it will be too tired for kids if you spend the whole day at the zoo and then night safari

Lastly, it will be a comprehensive tour for animals in the sky, on the ground and under the water. Good educational tour for kids.

is river safari and night safari both part of sentosa? can we visit it in play 5 , please some one answer we are family of 4 visiting in this june 27

Night safari without doubt as this experience you would not be able to get anywhere else

Proceed with night safari but would suggest to take your combo ticket while u visit bird park

I was just wondering how much time I should consider for these 3 attractions. Is is possible to do all 3 in one day?

I've heard the zoo itself is quite big but not much about the river or night safari.

Also, we will be staying at the Bliss Hotel near Chinatown . Any recommendations on transportation?

This is a typical itinerary:

- Jungle Breakfast with wildlife

- Singapore Zoo

- River Safari at 2pm

- Buffet dinner outside night safari

- Night Safari at 7.30pm

- The day ends at midnight

Will you enjoy it??? Probably not, as you`ll be tired as hell............

This is not something I would ever do out of choice myself. It is possible if there is absolutely no other way to do it, but there are a number of issues which are why I'd never recommend it.

First up the zoo is pretty much a full day visit for me - despite many many visits over 25years I still want to spend that much time when I visit as a tourist. I'll arrive at 9 and leave at 4 and still not have gone to all the shows and rides so if I needed to fill time then I could.

You then need to fit in the River Safari. I haven't been myself yet as its new but most estimate vary between 2 and 4 hours with 3ish being the most common. Since the park closes at 6pm you are already pushing to get round both....if anything the Zoo is easier to push round....so you could start at the River Safari and then go to the zoo and do whatever time lets you (note we are already talking a bit about possibly curtailing the experience by rushing which is one of my warning markers as to why I do not recommend this). The boat ride at the River Safari is currently a book on arrival thing so you may not get a time slot suitable for you.

So at this stage f you match my timings you will have spent 14hours animal watching - much as I love these parks thats a lot in one day and you will likely be very tired even if you survived well enough to see everything.

Personally my recommendation given that you have 4 days is do the zoo on one day and come back to the city for something small (Peranakan Museum, River boat trip or whatever interests you) at the end of the day/evening - and then do the River Safari one afternoon followed by the Night Safari on separate day.....it breaks things up. You can still do something light or ideally indoors in the morning of the River Safari so that you do not exhaust yourself.

This will cost you 50 or so SGD in extra taxi fares but it does mean you won't risk lack of enjoyment and wasting of entry fee simply through tiredness which for two of you is around that taxi fare. It also delivers while still retaining a reasonably dense visit, in other words not taking up too much of the time you have in Singapore . It also breaks the animal overload up across two days so you do not have everything the same on one day.

Quite a lot depends on what else you intend to do, how used to Singapore's climate you are and how locked in your timings are but you have the opportunity to break the parks up and I would say that for me the extra taxi fares are well worth it.

We visited the zoo yesterday and it took us about 4 hrs at a reasonably leisurely pace.. Check River Cruise before you arrive here as it currently is not operating.

The boat ride was closed for maintenance yesterday, 12 February 2014. Their maintenance schedule for the whole year is on their website.

I would only do 2 out of 3 in a day. You don't want to rush things and also take into consideration the heat. When we visited the parks we was staying near Bugis and took a taxi (the only time apart from the airport run). Public transport would of taken us about 1hr 25 mins and the taxis took us about 25 mins.

Thank you. I really appreciate this a lot. That was one of the major concerns I had seeing the 3 in 1, 4 in 1 package deal. When I saw how big the parks were, immediately, it worried me how one can cover a 24 hectare land without having to rush like hell. I will be travelling with my 4 children. That alone is a feat. Anyway, again, thank you for writing your thoughts regarding this matter. It is such a big help for people like me who are pressed for time.

If the package deal is the Parkhopper ticket you do not have to use all the entries on the same day, the park hopper is valid for thirty days from the start date...so if you have time to spread the parks out you can still use the Parkhopper deal...though it is not as good as it used to be now they have included all tram rides in the ticket.

could you do all three parks in one day, of course.

should you- No you have to take into consideration the draining effect the humidity can have on you if you're not used to it, and pace your travel appropriately, making time for rest/cool down breaks every three- four hours otherwise you won't enjoy yourself as much, this is more valid if you're travelling with young children
