Singapore is one of Asia's leading tourist countries.
There are futuristic and stylish buildings such as Marina Bay Sands, but there are also exotic areas such as Chinatown and Indiatown, making it a country where people of all ages can enjoy sightseeing.
Singapore is home to one of the world's top zoos!
Not one, but three!
It is located about 40 minutes by car from the center, and the three gardens are adjacent to each other, so access is outstanding.
In this article, we will introduce the features and highlights of each.
World-class Singapore Zoo
First of all, I would like to introduce you to the Singapore Zoo.It is a pleasant zoo filled with greenery that incorporates a method called 'open zoo,' where animals are enclosed with moats and trees instead of cages and fences, making it seem as if they are blending into nature.

Although it has become mainstream in Japanese zoos in recent years, the Singapore Zoo was the first in the world to introduce it.
It is also called "the most beautiful zoo in the world"!
It also raises rare species such as babirusa and komodo dragon, which cannot be seen in zoos in Japan.

And there's one more thing I don't want you to miss.
That's the information sign for each animal!
As a zoo enthusiast, I think it is also the zoo with the highest quality signage in the world.
They are good at designing, and be sure to check out the easy-to-understand and cute signs.

Night safari park open only at night
Next up is the Night Safari.As the name suggests, it is a park where you can experience a nighttime safari.
This is the only zoo in the world that is open only at night, and tourists can observe how the animals spend the night by tram (with Japanese guide car) or on foot.

Seeing the animals lurking in the forest at night brings back faint memories of going in search of beetles as a child.
Even in Africa, the home of safaris, there are few national parks where you can go on safari at night, so it is sure to be a very valuable experience!

8 River safari with the theme of the Great River
The last thing I would like to introduce is the river safari.This is the only park in the world that exhibits the water creatures that live there and the animals that live around the taiga with the theme of eight famous rivers.

The zoo, which is a fusion of a zoo and an aquarium, is home to many interesting looking animals such as piraruk, Mekong catfish, and manatees.
And the very popular giant panda!
With less congestion and a shorter distance, you can imprint their adorable appearance in your memory forever.

There is also an attraction in the park called Amazon River Quest, where you can take a small boat and observe jaguars and spider monkeys.

A fourth zoo is also open
How was it?Each garden is unique and has its own merits, so we recommend that you take 1~2 days to visit all of them.
Even if you don't usually go to zoos, you will definitely be satisfied with the atmosphere unique to overseas zoos and the mysterious creatures of animals that you haven't seen in a long time.
And right next to these three gardens On May 8, 2023, Bird Paradise opened!
There are several walk-through areas in the park, and it is a garden where you can observe more than 3,500 birds, so I am looking forward to visiting.
