singaporecity360° Singapore Zoo
Singapore Zoo is built on an open-concept design where moats and natural barriers replace most cages, letting animals roam in enclosures modelled on their native habitats.
Should you go?
Paid admission per park, with a cheaper Singapore-resident rate and multi-park Destination Passes aimed at tourists.

No timed slot for general admission. Booking direct online is how the resident WildPass rate is applied, so buying ahead is about price rather than entry.

It's open 8.30am to 6pm daily, last ticket sale 5.30pm, and the Rainforest Fragile Forest walk-through and the free-ranging orangutan areas are among its best-known exhibits. It sits inside Mandai Wildlife Reserve next to Night Safari and River Wonders, so multi-park tickets are the standard way to save money when visiting more than one park on the same trip.
Feeding times and keeper talks run through the day on a published schedule, and timing a visit around two or three of them makes for a noticeably better day than walking straight through.
The zoo's tram service saves a lot of walking across what is a genuinely large site, but it doesn't stop everywhere — check the tram map at the entrance and plan feeding-time stops around where it actually goes, rather than assuming it reaches every enclosure.
On right now, and what each ticket costs
Paid admission per park, with a cheaper Singapore-resident rate and multi-park Destination Passes aimed at tourists. 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".
Strollers (S$15) and wagons (S$18) are chargeable rentals, not included.
A tourist product — Mandai publishes no resident rate for any Destination Pass.
Six parks in one day is a long day. Mandai markets it at up to 60% off the single rates, with no resident price.
The sane version of the six-park pass, spread across a stay. No resident rate.

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$49
for Singapore Zoo admission, straight from the operator's own price table.
Anything above S$49 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
20% off Singapore Zoo admission: S$39 instead of S$49, 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$12.25/hr
S$49 for Singapore Zoo admission over about 4 hours, or S$9.75/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.
