singaporecity360° Night Safari
Night Safari is the world's first wildlife park built specifically for nocturnal viewing, opening at 7.30pm and running to midnight (last ticket 11.15pm), with food and retail outlets opening earlier at 5.30pm for dinner before the park proper starts.
Should you go?
Evenings only, with a cheaper Singapore-resident rate. A timed entry slot has to be chosen — the only Mandai park where that is compulsory.
Daily, evenings only 6pm–midnight

1 exhibition on · SC360 estimate
Mandai's own instruction is that every guest must select a time slot. Separately, seats for the Creatures of the Night presentation must be booked online, and they open only two hours before each showing.
last entry 11.15pm
The peak calendar here is not the same as the other Mandai parks. Friday counts as peak at Night Safari, and so does the eve of a public holiday. Everywhere else peak means only weekends and public holidays.
Do not arrive at 6pm expecting the park to be running. The tram and all four trails open at 7pm.
Animals are kept in naturalistic enclosures lit only with dim, low-level lighting designed not to disturb their night cycles, and the tram ride covering most of the park is included in general admission. It sits inside the wider Mandai Wildlife Reserve alongside Singapore Zoo and River Wonders, so a combined ticket across two or more parks is usually cheaper than buying separately if visiting more than one on the same trip.
Because it's genuinely dark inside, flash photography isn't allowed, and mobility for young children or anyone unsteady on their feet needs a bit more care than a daytime park.
The tram queue builds fast after opening — heading straight for the tram at 7.30pm and walking the trails afterwards beats arriving later and facing a 45-minute-plus wait.
On right now, and what each ticket costs
Evenings only, with a cheaper Singapore-resident rate. A timed entry slot has to be chosen — the only Mandai park where that is compulsory. Flip the stubs to your rate; every price includes the resident lines most sites leave out.
Mandai calls this the tourist price — its own heading reads "Admission Prices for Non-Residents".
Creatures of the Night is included but its seats must be reserved online in advance at no charge. The Cinewav audio tour is a paid add-on. Stroller rental is chargeable.

What you should be paying
Ticket resellers earn a commission on what they sell you. We sell nothing, so here is the operator's own price — compare before you buy.
S$58
for Night Safari admission, straight from the operator's own price table.
Anything above S$58 is a markup. A reseller can be genuinely cheaper — some run below the gate price to win the booking — but you now know which side of the line you are on. Check the total at checkout, not the headline.
See it on the operator's own page →S$10
17% off Night Safari admission: S$48 instead of S$58, on every adult ticket.
This is wider than most people think. Requires free WildPass membership. Mandai's own wording: Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and holders of an Employment Pass, Work Permit or Dependant's Pass aged 15 and above with a valid Singpass account. Sign-up is verified through Singpass MyInfo. Online you enter your WildPass-registered email; at the counter you may be asked for ID. Non-transferable, and it cannot be stacked with other promotions.
S$17.85/hr
S$58 for Night Safari admission over about 3.3 hours, or S$14.77/hr at the resident rate. Our estimate. Mandai publishes no recommended duration. The duration is our estimate, not the operator's.
Rain, heat, and what to do about it
Live readings and forecasts from NEA. Four days is the limit — past that, nobody is forecasting, they are showing you an average.
Southwest Monsoon
June to September
Short, sharp early-morning showers and occasional squall lines. Drier overall than the northeast wet phase.
The other good window. Rain tends to arrive early and clear, leaving usable afternoons. This is also when haze can occur, which is worth checking rather than assuming.
