What to expect
First Stop: Elephant Encounter
At 1 p.m., you’ll jump into a two‑day, one‑night escapade that kicks off with the zoo’s grand Asian elephants. Picture this: large, gentle giants slowly turning toward you as they munch on their lunch.
- Feed Time: Grab a handful of hay, toss it into their mouths, and feel the weight of a centuries‑old tradition on your fingers.
- Chat with the Keepers: Get the inside scoop on elephant antics, their quirky habits, and a few breeding secrets (yes, you might get a chuckle out of them).
So, ready to become the next “Elephant Whisperer” for the day? Go ahead – the elephants are waiting, and you’re the new chat‑nice‑gizmo you’re going to feed and talk to.
Wild Day Out at the Zoo
Start with a Rhino Rendezvous
Ever wanted to feel like a real-life safari guide? Your personal skipper will swoop you into the Wild Africa zone, where the big, white rhinos are waiting for you to throw food their way. It’s a head‑butt free environment, so just talk to them and watch them chew with the seriousness of a slot‑machine dealer.
Next Hit: Splash Safari
- Join the Splash Safari show for a splash‑tastic adventure.
- Grab the chance for a photography session with the buoyant sea lions.
- Memories on cameras, not splashes.
Delightful Dinner at Forest Lodge
After the aquatic theatrics, hello dinner at Forest Lodge. Picture a cozy cabin vibe, forest sounds as your soundtrack, and dishes that make your taste buds do the cha‑cha. No mailman cuts you off on the way, and no hats are required.
Music & Light Avalon: Rainforest Lumina
Ready for a light show? Walk into the Rainforest Lumina exhibit and get swept away by an out‑of‑body symphony of lights and music. Think of it as a jungle version of a disco, where the trees are the DJ.
Comfort Zone: A Look Outside the Box
Just when you think it’s all adrenaline, it’s time to relax. The zoo’s Pavilion by the Lake gives you a fully air‑conditioned dome tent. Two double beds await, so you can collapse and plan your next zoo adventure (or just dream of dinosaurs).
All that, bundled into a single, fun-packed day of wildlife, art, and comfort. Grab your ticket, and let the wildness begin!
Wake‑up Wonders: Meet the Mysterious Animal Ambassador
When the sun decides to pop up, you get the chance to greet a mystery animal ambassador before your adventure heads to the Forest Lodge. Think of it as a backstage pass for the wild world!
The Breakfast Bonanza
After the animal encounter, the lodge dishes out a sumptuous breakfast set. Picture a table piled high with hotcakes, berries, and a steaming cup of coffee that says, “Good morning!” with a grin.
Price Tag Shuffle
- Each package comes with a $1,499 tag that can make your wallet feel a bit light.
- Good news: you can split it—just four people and each one only pays a fraction.
- So, the more friends you bring, the merrier (and the cheaper per head).
Final Thought
It’s a pretty expensive detour, but if you’re rolling with a squad of four, it might just feel like gold after all. Prepare to share the cost, share the joy, and maybe bring a few snacks for the animal ambassador.
Staycation with the manatees
Dive Into Manatee Merriment!
If you’re more into chill‑in‑the‑water vibes than indoor banters, you’ll be delighted to learn that the Mandai Wildlife Group is bringing back the River Wonders Staycation—complete with friendly, floating manatees.
- Cozy Up: Relax while a gentle giant gently glides past.
- Learn & Laugh: Discover manatee facts with a side of humor.
- Feel the Flow: Sumptuous, calm encounters—no rush, just ripples.
Wild Staycation at the Singapore Zoo
Ready for a mid‑winter adventure that blends a safari vibe with a cozy campfire feel? From December 16th through March 19th, the Singapore Zoo is rolling out a Staycation in the Wild that’s built for families, friends, and anyone who loves a dash of animal antics.
What’s on the Menu (in truth, it’s more than food)
- Guided tour – Let the zoo’s expert guides turn the 2‑hour walk into a journey through jungles and wetlands.
- Animal encounters – From cuddly koalas to reptiles that make you go “Wow, that’s a spiny thing!”
- Night activities – Lights dim, the jungle hums, and you get a peek at nocturnal creatures that live when you’re fast asleep.
Dining & Hydration Essentials
- Set dinner at Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant – Dive into jungle‑themed delicacies that satisfy your midnight cravings.
- Breakfast at Singapore Zoo Inuka Café – Start the day with a latte, pastries, and a view of our friends waking up.
Accommodations – No Air‑Pods, Just Air‑Mattress
Instead of a high‑tech, air‑conditioned dome, we’re giving you a bell‑tent with comfy air mattresses. Think campfire vibes mixed with modern comfort. You can spruce up your own gear or let us handle the setup — choose what you like!
Price & Pod Size
- All of this for $999. That’s a steal for a four‑person “fellowship” that will share stories under the stars.
- Booking your spot? Two adventure packet names are at hand: Staycation in the Wild and Staycation with the Manatees. Just pick the one that feels right for you.
