Night Safari

Nocturnal visits.

Embark on an adventure after dark at the Night Safari, an open air zoo that houses over 2,500 creatures of the night.

Singapore Night Safari is the World’s first nocturnal wildlife park.

During this Safari, which starts after dark, visitors get to explore a 35 hectares nocturnal Zoo on a 40-minute tram ride.

Even as the nocturnal animals roam around freely, the Tram winds its way through four wildlife trails with live commentary.

The Night Safari is divided into seven geographical zones.

The zones include the Himalayan Foothills, Indian Subcontinent, Equatorial Africa, Indo-Malayan Region, Asian Riverine Forest, Nepalese River Valley, and Burmese Hillside.

Visitors can see various animals, including tigers, lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hyenas, zebras, and many more.

The animals are active at night, and visitors can observe them in their natural habitats under the moonlight.

This night-time journey into the wilderness attracts 1.3 million visitors annually. 

The Singapore Night Safari is a unique and exciting way to experience wildlife and learn more about the animals that call the world home.

There are two ways to explore the Night Safari – by walk or by Tram. 

Visitors who have been to the Night Safari Singapore multiple times recommend you must do both. 

First, take the Tram, do the 40-minute ride to see everything there is, and then catch one of the walking trails.

The walking paths have enough lighting, and Park Rangers are placed at strategic points to assist. 

Tip:  Because of the darkness and the vegetation, there are lots of mosquitos and insects. Do carry insect repellent.

Types of Tram

To explore Singapore Night Safari park, you can opt from two types of Trams – 

1. Free Tram with English commentary 2. Multi-language Express Tram

Night Safari’s Free Tram 

Access to this Tram comes free with all  Singapore Night Safari tickets .

There is a queue to get into this Tram, but the waiting time usually doesn’t exceed 15 minutes. 

The live commentary on this free Night Safari Tram is in the English language. 

Night Safari’s Express Tram

If you don’t want to stand in the queue or if you want the live commentary in a language other than English, you can book the Express Tram.

The Express Tram commentary is available in eight languages – English, Bahasa Indonesia, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Thai, and Vietnamese.

When you book the Express Tram at the venue, you must stand in a queue and shell out S$10 for every person (including kids). 

Back to Top

There are three ways to experience Singapore Zoo Night Safari. You can opt for – 

1.  Only Singapore Night Safari 2.  Singapore Night Safari with hotel pickup 3.  Singapore Zoo with Night Safari

All these tickets get you one ride on the Night Safari Tram and access to both shows – Creatures of the Night Show and Thumbuakar Performance.

After you book your Singapore Night Safari Entry ticket, you must choose from four time slots for your visit – 7.15 pm, 8.15 pm, 9.15 pm, or 10.15 pm.

Night Safari with hotel pickup

Since this is a nighttime activity, some visitors prefer to book the Singapore Night Safari ticket with transfers.

A local guide picks you up from your hotel, and after you have explored the world’s first night safari, drops you back. 

Pickup begins 30 or 45 minutes before the tour starting time, depending on your hotel’s location.

If you prefer, you can upgrade your experience by including a dinner.

Ticket Price

Adult ticket (13+ years):  S$148 Child ticket (3 to 12 years):  S$82 Infant ticket (up to 3 years):  Free entry

Because of the excellent public transport system in Singapore, it is easy to reach Singapore Night Safari. 

Many tourists think that Singapore Night Safari and Singapore Zoo are the same, but they are two different attractions.

However, they are close to each other. 

Night Safari’s entrance is adjacent to Singapore Zoo’s entry gate. 

Address:  80, Mandai Lake Road, Singapore, 729826.

To Night Safari by MRT

Five MRT stations of North South Line are around the Singapore Night Safari Park.

Connecting buses from these MRT stations can get you to the Night Safari Park.

*Bus No. 926 operates only on Sundays and Public Holidays.

Bus to Singapore Night Safari

If you plan to visit Singapore Zoo Night Safari from Bedok, Sengkang, or Tampines, the  Mandai Express Bus service  is the best option.

The Mandai Express operates on weekends, school, and public holidays as well.

The adult ticket costs S$3 while kids between 3 to 12 years of age pay only S$1. 

To get to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, other bus service  Safari Gate Buses are also convenient.

Driving to Night Safari

Singapore Night Safari is 30 minutes’ drive from the city center. 

You can choose to travel via Central Expressway (CTE) or Pan Island Expressway (PIE).  Get Directions

Taxis also follow the same route. 

Car Parking

The Night Safari shares its parking slot with the Singapore Zoo. 

There are two parking areas – one is a covered car park while the second is an open-air parking space. 

Cost of parking

The parking charges at Singapore Night Safari work out cheaper if you are carrying a cash card.

First 10 minutes: Free Next 1 hour: S$3 per hour Every additional hour: S$2 per hour

The maximum parking charges for a car get capped at S$10. 

If you pay by cash, parking your car will cost you S$10 for the day.

Jurong bird park to Night Safari, Singapore

Some tourists plan Jurong Bird Park in the morning and Singapore Night Safari later in the day. 

After exploring Jurong Bird Park, you can do the Night Safari because it starts from 7.15 pm and instead of walking you can explore the nocturnal Zoo on a Tram. 

SAExpress coaches run between the Bird Park and Night Safari.

The bus leaves Jurong Bird Park’s coach park at 4.45 pm and reaches Singapore Night Safari at 5.15 pm. 

This gives you ample time to grab something to eat, stand in the queue, and get in for Singapore Zoo’s Night Safari at 7.15 pm.

From Thursday to Sunday, Night Safari Singapore opens at 6.30 pm and closes at midnight. It also remains open on Public Holidays and on the eve of a Public Holiday.

The last entry into the Night Safari Park is at 11.15 pm.

The wildlife attraction remains closed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The ticket counters open early at 5.30 pm and close by 11 pm.

The best time to visit Singapore Night Safari is 7.15 pm, which is the first time slot.

That’s when the gates open, and you can be one of the first to get in. 

This is the best slot because it helps you time your attendance at the shows, pick the Tram ride, and plan your dinner to perfection.

After you purchase your Singapore Night Safari tickets, you will get an email with instructions to select a time slot for your visit. You can choose from 7.15 pm, 8.15 pm, 9.15 pm, or 10.15 pm.

And on the day of your visit, you must be at the Night Safari Park’s entrance at the time mentioned on your tickets. 

Once inside the Night Safari Park, everybody rushes for the Night Safari Tram ride. As a result, there are long queues for the Tram. 

After the Tram ride is over, they all rush for the shows, crowding them too. 

That’s why we recommend you do precisely the opposite. 

Once you enter at 7.15 pm, go straight to the Creatures of the Night Show at the outdoor amphitheater.

The official time for this animal show is 7.15 pm, but since the visitors are just walking, you get a few minutes to settle down. 

Creatures of the Night Show lasts 25 minutes, after which you can get back to the Entrance Courtyard to watch the 7-minute long Thumbuakar Performance. 

The second Thumbuakar Performance of the day is at 8 pm, which means you may have to wait for 10 minutes or so before the show begins.

By 8.15 pm, you will have seen both the shows and will be all set for the Tram Ride. 

Even though there are long lines for the Tram Rides, the crowd management is efficient, and within 15 minutes, one can board the Night Safari Tram. 

Tip:   Buy Singapore Night Safari tickets online to save yourself at least an hour of waiting time. 

Most visitors spend around three hours at Singapore Night Safari.

Within three hours, you can go on the Safari Tram ride, walk one of the animal trails, see Creatures of the Night Show and Thumbuakar Performance, and also have dinner.

If you are in a hurry, you can skip the Trail walk and dinner and explore Singapore Night Safari in about two hours. 

The Singapore Night Safari has two shows, both of which are popular with tourists. 

Since both these Night Safari shows are in massive demand, we recommend you reach the venue 15 minutes before they start. 

Thumbuakar Performance

This show welcomes you to the Night Safari. 

Pyro warriors demonstrate their fire-twirling and flame-throwing skills to the beat of jungle drums.

This fire show happens at the Entrance Courtyard, and the objective is to get you all revved up for the Wild Night Safari experience. 

The fire eaters perform thrice on weekdays and four times on weekends. 

Weekdays: 6.45 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm Friday, Saturday and eve of Public Holidays: 6.45 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm Duration: Approx. 7 minutes

Creatures of the Night show

The Night Safari has four trails – 

Fishing Cat Trail

Leopard trail, wallaby trail, east lodge trail.

The Singapore Night Safari map comes in handy if you decide to walk one (or many) of these trails.

Even if you decide to stick to the Tram, the Night Safari map will still help you reach the shows and find visitor services such as washrooms, restaurants, etc.

Almost a thousand animals from 100 different species inhabit the 35-hectare Night Safari Park.

Since more than 40% of these animals are in danger of being extinct, the Park also practices captive breeding of these species. 

When you go down this trail (either by the Tram or by walk), you get to see the nightly routine of animals such as Leopards, Lions, Civets, Porcupines, etc. 

You also get to see two fantastic walk-through exhibits with flying foxes and flying squirrels on the Leopard Trail.

Some of the other animals you are likely to spot on this trail are Eagle Owl, Giraffe, Fruit Bat, Golden Cat, Otters, Tarsier, etc. 

The Fishing Cat Trail simulates the jungles of Singapore, which host animals such as Fishing Cat, Binturong, Pangolin, etc. 

The Pangolin in Night Safari was a hit and run victim who has now recovered except for a small limp.

When your Night Safari Tram passes through this trail, you can see animals such as Barking Deer, Himalayan Tahr, Indian Gharial, Mousedeer, Striped Hyena, Small-clawed Otter, etc. 

This Night Safari Trail is accessible from the East Lodge Tram Station.

It connects the Leopard Trail to the Wallaby Trail and leads you to the section of Night Safari where animals of the savannah (Africa) and the tropics (Asia) live side by side.

Some of the animals you can spot here are Sloth Bear, Bongo, Babirusa, Anoa, Serval, Spotted Hyena, Malayan Tiger, etc. 

If you decide to walk this trail, don’t miss the chit chat with Zoo Keepers of Malayan Tigers, at 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm every Friday and Saturday. 

This Night Safari trail lines up wildlife from Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea. 

The Wallaby Trail has been landscaped in the form of Australian deserts to make it as authentic as possible.

Besides the Wallaby, some of the animals you will spot here are Possum, Sugar Glider, White-lipped Python, etc. 

There are four food outlets at the Singapore Night Safari. 

1. Ulu Ulu Safari restaurant 

Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant is located at the Night Safari’s Entrance Plaza and is open from 5.30 pm to 11 pm. 

The restaurant resembles a charming village and is a perfect place to start or end your Night Safari.

You can order a la carte or opt for either the Asian or the Indian Buffet.

Ulu Ulu Asian Buffet

The Asian Buffet is designed to remind you of the traditional villages of the area. 

You can choose to eat your Asian Buffet within the cozy restaurant or dine alfresco (out in the open). 

Price: S$ 45/adult and S$ 34/child (Age 6 to 12 years) Timing: 5.30 pm to 8.15 pm daily

Ulu Ulu Indian Buffet

If you prefer an Indian touch to your dinner, opt for the Indian Buffet at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant.

The Indian Buffet works out better if you are a late eater because it is available till late. 

Price: S$ 29/adult and S$ 19/child (Age 6 to 12 years) Timing: 8.30 pm to 10.30 pm daily

2. Jungle Rotisserie

The alfresco Jungle Rotisserie restaurant is at the Entrance Courtyard and offers a ringside view of the Thumbuakar Performance, where fire eaters get on the stage.

To top it, the restaurant offers some of the best smoky meat around. 

It is open from 5.30 pm to 11 pm daily.

3. Safari Sizzles

Safari Sizzles is located at the Entrance Plaza of the Night Safari and is open daily from 5.30 pm to midnight.

They serve an excellent selection of gourmet hot dogs, fried snacks, chapati rolls, and alcoholic thirst quenchers.

4. Ben & Jerry’s

This is where all the ice cream lovers stop before or after their Night Safari. 

Since the weather is usually hot and humid, almost everyone lands up at Ben & Jerry’s. 

It is open from 5.30 pm to midnight, daily.  

Visitors have lots of interesting questions about these two attractions.

They are almost always trying to find out if Singapore Zoo and Singapore Night Safari are the same attractions, and if not what are the differences.

No, they are two different tourist attractions adjacent to each other.    Singapore Zoo is a daytime attraction, like all other Zoos.    Singapore Night Safari is a night-time attraction, which showcases nocturnal animals.  Buy Tickets !

It is hard to take sides here because both are award-winning, world-class tourist attractions.    Since they are so different, they can’t be an either-or decision.    If you are traveling to Singapore with kids or have the time on hand, it is best to see both.

Singapore Zoo opens at 8.30 am and closes at 6 pm, while the Singapore Night Safari opens at 6.30 pm and closes at midnight.    And they are within walking distance of each other.   There are two ways to visit the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari on the same day –    Option 1 This is the best approach when you are traveling with kids or elders.   Buy Singapore Zoo tickets online  (to avoid wasting time in ticketing lines), and be at the Zoo when it opens at 8.30 am. Spend 4-5 hours exploring, and then get back to your hotel and rest.   Come back at 6 pm and line up to get into the Night Safari gates, which opens at 6.30 pm    Option 2 If you are all adults or you have older kids, it is best to see both attractions one after the other.   Be at the Singapore Zoo by 1 pm, and explore it till 5 pm.    Since you have an hour and 30 minutes before the Singapore Night Safari opens, you can sit down and relax at one of the restaurants and recharge yourself.    Once the Night Safari gates open at 6.30 pm, you start your second wildlife experience of the day. 

If you can choose only one (for whatever reason!), we recommend the Singapore Night Safari.  Buy Tickets !   Inaugurated in 1994, it is the World’s first Night Safari ever.    It has been 25 years since and only two more Night Safaris have come up in rest of the World – Taiping Night Safari (in 2003) and Chiang Mai Night Safari (in 2006).    In comparison, there are more than 10,000 Zoos in the World.

There are lots of differences between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari. We list them below –   Time:  Singapore Zoo is a daytime attraction, while the Night Safari is a night-time attraction. Weather:  If you don’t go early in the day, Singapore Zoo can get hot and humid. In sharp contrast Singapore Night Safari is much cooler. Duration:  You need at least five hours to explore the Zoo, whereas you can explore the Night Safari in three hours or less. Exploration:  At the Zoo, you get to explore the animals at your own pace. At the Night Safari, the exploration happens at the Tram’s pace. Crowd:  Since the Zoo is open for longer hours the crowd seems spread out and the Night Safari seems crowded because it is only open for five hours per day. Animals:  At the Singapore Zoo, you get to see all the animals, while at the Singapore Night Safari, you can only see the nocturnal animals Cost:  At approximately S$48 for an adult ticket the Zoo is cheaper than the Night Safari, where the tickets are priced at S$50. Photos:  At the Singapore Zoo, you can take photographs, but you can’t during the Night Safari because it is dark and flash is not allowed.

Plus, I’ll guide you on how to get to Night Safari Singapore using MRT and bus , making your trip smooth and straightforward.

For me, this zoo is a top night activity in Singapore for its unique glimpse into the nocturnal animal world.

Let me share more about this zoo and the things you should take note before visiting. Let’s get started! 😊

Comparisons with Daytime Zoo Experiences

Related posts.

Night Safari Singapore is the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park . Housing over 900 animals from approximately 100 species , it offers two main experiences : a tram ride or a walking trail .

On the tram, you can see a variety of animals like Malayan tigers and White African lions, each in their element under the cloak of night.

If you choose to walk, expect close encounters with creatures like sloth bears and Asian otters.

The journey is made even more memorable with captivating animal show, where the nocturnal talents of these creatures are displayed, adding an extra layer of wonder to your visit.

Time We Visit:

We visited the Night Safari Singapore during the earliest time slot at 7:15 PM. I highly recommend doing the same because you get to see the animals in much better light.

Our Tram Ride Journey:

We began our adventure with the tram ride. It’s a great way to get up close with the animals, although taking good photographs from the moving tram can be a bit challenging.

Animal Show Experience:

After the tram ride, I recommend checking out the Creatures of the Night show at 8:30 PM. It’s not only entertaining but also really informative, giving you a fascinating glimpse into the world of nocturnal animals.

Walking Trails Feedback:

Finally, we explored the four walking trails. It’s a chance to see different species of animals, many of them are active at night.

While some animals are easily visible, others are harder to spot. It requires a bit of patience, but taking your time to observe the animals is definitely worth it.

How Much Time We Allocated for the Park Visit:

We spent around 3 hours exploring the park, and it was time well spent.

There’s so much to see and experience, so I recommend setting aside at least this much time to fully enjoy the Night Safari.

Overall Experience:

We thoroughly enjoyed the Night Safari Singapore as a unique zoo experience. It’s a fantastic place to spend an evening, and adding it to our Singapore 5-day itinerary was a choice I’m happy about.

Also, a useful tip: don’t forget to bring a water bottle. You can refill it at the free water dispensers near the washrooms, which is both convenient and eco-friendly.

Thing We Didn’t Like:

There are some mosquitoes at the Night Safari, so I highly recommend bringing mosquito repellent. This small preparation can make your experience much more comfortable.

When you buy tickets at the Night Safari’s on-site counter, the regular prices are SGD $55 for adults and SGD $38 for children aged 3 to 12.

But here’s a tip: book the Night Safari tickets online here to enjoy special pricing. We did this and it was a smooth process.

You’ll receive e-tickets in your email, which you can simply show on your phone for a convenient and easy park entry.

For the best experience at the Night Safari Singapore , aim for the earliest admission time at 7:15 PM .

Going early helps you see the animals more clearly, as it’s less dark. This also gives you plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed.

Additionally, more animals are active during this time , increasing your chances of seeing high-energy animals in action.

The park is open from 7.15 PM until midnight, with the last entry at 11:15 PM.

Entry Time Slots: 7:15 PM, 7:45 PM, 8:15 PM, 8:45 PM, 9:15 PM & 9:45 PM

To effortlessly navigate Night Safari, I suggest downloading the zoo map here . This will make it easier for you to explore the park using just your smartphone.

It’s not advisable that you use a hardcopy map because it can be very hard to see and read it at night.

To make the most of your visit, I suggest having dinner early and lining up at the entry gate by 6:30 PM . This lets you catch the earliest tram ride at Night Safari and cut down on waiting times .

While it’s tough to take good photographs from the moving tram, the upside is that you can fully immerse yourself in observing and enjoying the animals. It’s a unique opportunity to see them up close without distractions.

The Night Safari Singapore offers 4 walking trails that allow you to see the animals up-close . These are Leopard Trail , Fishing Cat Trail , East Lodge Trail , and Tasmanian Devil Trail .

Each trail comes with a variety of animals. So, you just have to pick the trail that you are interested in.

1. Leopard Trail

The Leopard Trail lets you see nocturnal animals in action. You’ll spot popular cats like Sri Lankan leopards, clouded leopards, golden cats, civets, and lions.

But it’s not just about cats; as you walk further, you’ll also encounter porcupines, eagle owls, giant flying squirrels, and fruit bats.

2. Fishing Cat Trail

On the Fishing Cat Trail, you’ll find predators like striped hyenas and fishing cats. These animals are highly alert and strategic in hunting their prey. Keep your eyes open to catch their impressive moves.

Besides these, you’ll also see binturongs, pangolins, Asian otters, and more!

3. East Lodge Trail

The East Lodge Trail blends African and Asian wildlife, showcasing animals from both tropical and grassland environments.

Here, you’ll find Malayan Tigers, serval cats, sloth bears, and spotted hyenas.

Also, keep an eye out for unique species like babirusas, anoas, and bongos. If these animals fascinate you, this trail is a must-visit.

4. Tasmanian Devil Trail

The Tasmanian Devil Trail offers a unique chance to see wallabies, often with babies in their pouches.

This area, focusing on wildlife from Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand, features charming animals like sugar gliders, barn owls, and possums.

You can also spot the impressive white-lipped python here.

To fully enjoy your Night Safari experience, don’t miss the “Creatures of the Night” show at the Night Safari Amphitheatre.

The show runs at 7:30 PM, 8:30 PM, and 9:30 PM. On Fridays to Sundays, there’s an additional show at 10:15 PM.

This show puts a spotlight on some amazingly talented animals. You’ll be entertained by owls, civets, and fennec foxes, each showcasing their adorable antics.

Remember, you can only book seats 2 hours before each presentation. So, it’s crucial to plan ahead and reserve early to ensure you get a spot.

You can enjoy dinner at Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant , located right next to the Night Safari entrance .

Designed in a rustic village style , the restaurant serves a variety of dishes, ranging from local specialties to international cuisine .

It’s an ideal spot for a quick snack or a leisurely meal, surrounded by the sounds of nocturnal wildlife.

When visiting Night Safari Singapore, it’s crucial to remember that flash photography is not allowed . This is to protect the animals, as bright flashes can startle and disturb them.

For night photography, here are some tips:

• Use a High ISO Setting: This helps your camera capture more light, making it easier to photograph in low-light conditions.
• Experiment with Exposure: Longer exposure can capture more details but requires a steady hand or support.
• Be Patient: Night photography requires time and patience. Wait for the right moment to capture the animals in their natural behavior.

For a better and more convenient trip to Night Safari, check out my recommended itinerary below. It’s designed to help you fully experience and enjoy every moment of your visit.

• 6:30 PM – Queue up at the entry gate of Night Safari
• 7:15 PM – Enter Night Safari and hop on the tram ride
