Singapore Zoo Review: Tips for Families, Indian Vegetarians and First-Time Visitors
新加坡动物园的点评
点评：Singapore Zoo is an amazing place to visit, especially if you’re travelling with kids. There’s plenty to explore, and you can easily spend several hours here. However, a little planning can make your visit much more comfortable, particularly if you’re visiting with a toddler.
Getting to Singapore Zoo
Singapore Zoo is located in the Mandai area, which is quite far from central Singapore. You can reach the area using public transport, including the MRT and bus connections, but we decided to take a cab for convenience.
If you’re travelling with family or a group of 3–4 people, I would suggest checking the Zig app for cab bookings. Depending on the time and demand, fares can vary, so it’s worth comparing your options before booking.
Best Time to Visit
We visited in October and reached the zoo around noon. While we had a great time, the heat and humidity made walking around quite tiring.
My biggest recommendation is to start early in the morning. Singapore Zoo is largely an open-air attraction, and it can feel much hotter than places like Gardens by the Bay.
If you’re visiting with children, starting early will give you more time to explore before the heat becomes uncomfortable.
Getting Around the Zoo
The zoo is quite large, so walking everywhere can be tiring, especially with young children. Make good use of the tram service, and get off at the designated stops to explore different sections.
Plan your route in advance so you don’t end up walking back and forth unnecessarily.
Kids’ Play Area and Facilities
There’s a children’s play area near Tram Station 4, which is a good place to take a break if you’re travelling with kids. You’ll find a play area, food options, ice cream and cold drinks nearby. There is also a butterfly attraction in this area.
This section can be useful when children need a break from walking around and looking at animals.
Food Options – Important for Indian Vegetarians
Food planning is something Indian vegetarian visitors should keep in mind.
There is a food court near Tram Station 1, close to the orangutan exhibit. You’ll find some food options there, but the prices can be on the expensive side. During our visit, the main vegetarian option we noticed was biryani, which didn’t seem particularly appealing in the heat.
Near the zoo entrance, you’ll also find options such as McDonald’s, KFC, Food Republic and 7-Eleven. However, vegetarian choices at some of these places may be limited.
My suggestion for Indian vegetarians: Check the available food options beforehand and consider eating a proper meal before entering the zoo. Don’t assume you’ll find plenty of vegetarian or Indian food inside.
Staying Hydrated
Singapore’s heat and humidity can make you thirsty very quickly, so carry a reusable water bottle and drink water regularly.
We also found the iJooz orange juice vending machines useful for a refreshing drink during the day.
Remember to carry sunscreen and sunglasses as well.
Strollers and Travelling with Toddlers
If you’re travelling with a toddler, I would strongly recommend bringing your own stroller if possible.
Rental strollers and carts can be expensive, and availability may be limited. Having your own stroller makes it easier for your child to rest while you continue exploring.
Also, don’t underestimate the walking involved. Even with the tram, you’ll still need to walk quite a bit.
Getting Back from Singapore Zoo
After spending a few hours exploring the zoo, you might be quite tired, especially if you’re travelling with kids.
If you don’t want to take the bus, you’ll find larger private vehicles, including luxury cars, available near the zoo entrance. During our visit, we saw options costing around SGD 48. These may be worth considering if you’re travelling in a group, but we found them quite expensive and decided not to take one.
Instead, we booked a cab through the Zig app. It took around 10–15 minutes for our cab to arrive, but the wait was worth it.
Pro tip: If you’re travelling as a family or in a group of 3–4 people, check the Zig app and compare fares before deciding on your return transport. After walking around the zoo for hours, having a cab pick you up can be much more comfortable than navigating public transport.
Shopping After the Zoo – IMM Outlet Mall
Another useful tip: IMM Outlet Mall can be a good shopping stop after your zoo visit.
We went to IMM in the evening after visiting the zoo. The mall has outlet stores, including Charles & Keith and other brands, so it can be a good option if you want to combine sightseeing with shopping.
Check the route and travel time beforehand to see whether it fits your plans, especially if you’re travelling with a toddler and need to manage meal times and naps.
Visiting Bird Paradise as Well?
If you’re planning to visit Bird Paradise on the same trip, check the latest shuttle and transport arrangements between the Mandai attractions before your visit. This will help you plan your route and avoid unnecessary walking.

翻译：新加坡动物园是个非常值得一游的地方，尤其适合带孩子游玩。这里有诸多可探索的内容，您很容易就能在这里度过好几个小时。不过，稍作规划就能让您的游览体验更加舒适，尤其是当您带着学步期的幼儿同行时。
前往新加坡动物园
新加坡动物园位于万代区，该地距离新加坡市中心相当远。您可以借助公共交通前往，比如地铁和巴士等。不过为了方便起见，我们决定坐出租车。
如果您是和家人或3-4人的团体一起旅行，我建议通过Zig应用来预订出租车。根据时间和需求的不同，车费也会有所变化，因此在预订前比较一下各种选项还是很有必要的。
最佳游览时间
我们是在10月份去的，中午左右到达动物园。虽然玩得很开心，但炎热的天气和潮湿的环境让走路变得相当累人。
我最推荐的做法就是清晨出发。新加坡动物园基本上是一个露天景区，因此那里的气温往往会比滨海湾花园等地要高得多。
如果您是带孩子一同游览，建议早点出发，这样就能在天气变得过于炎热之前有更多时间四处探索。
如何在动物园内移动
动物园的占地面积很大，因此步行游览可能会颇为劳累，尤其是带着年幼的孩子时。建议充分利用园内的有轨电车服务，在指定的站点下车后再去游览各个区域。提前规划好路线，这样就不必做无谓的往返行走了。
儿童游乐区与设施
在4号电车站附近有一个儿童游乐区，如果您是带孩子出行，这里是休息的好去处。附近有游乐设施、餐饮选择，还有冰淇淋和冷饮可享用。该区域内还有一个蝴蝶观赏区。
当孩子们走累了或需要暂时休息一下时，这个地方就非常适合了。餐饮选择——对印度素食者而言很重要
餐饮安排是印度素食游客需要提前考虑的事项。
在靠近红毛猩猩展区的1号电车站附近有一个美食广场。那里有一些餐饮选择，不过价格可能偏贵。我们参观时，发现主要的素食选项就是印度香饭，但在炎热的天气里它似乎并不太诱人。
在动物园入口处，还有麦当劳、肯德基等餐饮选择。Food Republic和7-Eleven。不过，这些地方提供的素食选择可能较为有限。
对于吃素的印度游客，我的建议是：事先了解一下有哪些可食用的选项，并考虑在进入动物园前先吃一顿饱饭。千万别以为园内会有大量素食或印度料理可供选择。
补充水分
新加坡的炎热与潮湿环境很容易让人口渴，因此请随身携带可重复使用的水瓶并定时饮水。我们还发现iJooz果汁自动售货机在白天提供清爽饮料方面非常实用。
记得带上防晒霜和太阳镜哦。
婴儿车与带幼儿旅行
如果您要带幼儿旅行，我强烈建议在条件允许的情况下带上您自己的婴儿车。
租赁婴儿车或推车的成本可能较高，而且供应量也有限。拥有自己的婴儿车后，您继续游览时孩子也能安心休息。
此外，千万别小看其中所需的步行距离。即便乘坐有轨电车，你仍然需要走不少路。
从新加坡动物园返回的方法
在动物园里游览几个小时后，你可能会感到相当疲惫，尤其是带着孩子一同旅行的话。
如果不想乘坐巴士，你也可以在动物园入口附近找到各种大型私人车辆，包括豪华轿车。我们参观时看到的车型收费约为48新元。如果你是多人结伴出行，这些车型倒也值得考虑。不过我们发现这些服务费用相当昂贵，于是决定不使用了。
于是我们通过Zig应用预订了一辆出租车。大约10到15分钟后车就到了，这样的等待绝对是值得的。
实用小贴士：如果您是全家出游，或是和3-4个朋友一起旅行，建议在决定返程交通方式前先打开Zig应用对比一下价格。在动物园里逛了好几个小时后，叫一辆出租车来接您会比乘坐公共交通工具舒适得多。逛完动物园后的购物好去处——IMM奥特莱斯
另一个实用小贴士：参观完动物园后，IMM奥特莱斯是个不错的购物选择。
我们在逛完动物园后于傍晚前往IMM。那里有多家品牌折扣店，包括Charles & Keith等，因此如果你想将观光与购物结合起来，这里确实是个好去处。
建议事先查好路线和所需时长，看看是否符合你的行程安排；尤其是当你带着幼童同行、需要安排用餐和午睡时间时，这一点尤为重要。也打算去鸟类天堂吗？
如果您计划在同一次行程中参观鸟类天堂，请在出行前查阅曼岱地区各景点之间最新的接驳车及交通信息。这样有助于您规划路线，避免不必要的步行。
