Terry FuJuly 16, 2016Good family excursion. Comes with a leisurely river cruise which you don't have to go. The extra 5 bucks for unlimited Amazon quest rides is worth it even if you just see the jaguar.
- AdleyOctober 9, 2015Woooow! Great boat ride and great shelters for all species of fish. Especially loved the manatees! There are 10 of them in amazing water tank. Also loved the panda shelter.
Ben MaysonJanuary 24, 2016I think this place is underrated. It's s bit different. Has some unique animals. It's also well designed and not too hot for young kids.
TingJune 28, 2015Scenic views with all covered walkways, this zoo is a good option for visitors who want to shun the sun. Periodic pit stops in the A/C also provide the much welcome respite from the heat outside.
Shar PatigasJune 8, 2015Amazing place! Be sure to purchase your tickets online and to avail the multipark ticket for bigger discounts.
Elizabeth LeeOctober 14, 2014Lots to see, so be prepared to walk. Boat ride and river quest were rather short. If not for free admission tix, not sure if it is worth going, or even a repeat visit. Do go for the Amazon River tho!
Winnie KhooDecember 31, 2016Fave: manatee, sea otters, monkey, panda; steamed bao, iced Milo in souvenir cup; skip: Amazon river ride
Ferry MulyadiApril 7, 2013Just been opened few days, half of attractions still not yet opened, including the boat ride. Most interesting is the panda attraction. At 11am they have animal show with birds and cute hedgehog.
Анастасия СолодкаяOctober 30, 2017Good, interesting place. 👍 Good free boat ride. I like Amazon Ride too. I think it is very good for children and adults!- aaa bbbFebruary 11, 2014boat ride was short and lacked excitement. boat reservation is out fast so its best if you come here in the morning and spend the afternoon at the Singapore zoo.
Ervin K.December 28, 2013Remember to book slots for the Amazon River Quest Ride at the visitor service counter. Book before noon during peak days to prevent disappointment. Currently FOC for each admission tix bought! :)
Krishna NatarajJune 19, 2016The river safari is almost fully covered and makes a great day trip on a hot and sunny or rainy day (both of which would make the zoo difficult).
Probably the best of the 4 parks. Very educational and varied. The Manatees aquarium is a big plus.
Jin Ngee ChiaDecember 20, 2014Come here mainly for the pandas. The other exhibits are just as good but I feel the main day zoo is still a better attraction.
Brecht HortensiusJuly 25, 2017Some fantastic aquariums & the pandas of course but overall disappointing & no value for money with 2 boring boat rides (1 @ extra fee).
Maynard TannOctober 30, 2014Pandas are the highlight. The lines for entry tickets can get long so purchase them online. You the don't have to queue.
Ric ChungFebruary 9, 2014Remember to get the boat ride tickets at the grand reception there and not be caught without it as there isn't a counter at the actual boat berth
CDecember 6, 2017Different themed 'rivers' with many interesting animals..some of which U can touch!
Sie FerryMarch 26, 2014I went there just to see one animal. PANDA. Its so cute and you won't be bored even if you stare him for an hour.
- Shar PatigasJune 8, 2015So many information about the different rivers of the world and how to preserve them as well as the wildlife.

Pandas are rare enough to be worth the visit. Also works when raining, place is 100% covered!
Anna LitvinukMay 2, 2014We arrived at 4 pm, bought the boat ride tickets right there. Pandas is the reason we entered. Rather interesting. 1 hour is enough for visiting.
Taylor KikerAugust 23, 2016Basically another mini zoo with some river ecosystem exhibits. The two highlights are the manatee and panda exhibits. The "cruise" is 15 minutes and very lame unless you've never been on a boat.
Nicholas KohSeptember 13, 2014We cleared the place in about 3 hours. Highlight for me was probably the dugongs, not the pandas. Food and drink are expensive, and not a single water cooler in sight!
DRCFebruary 21, 2016Good mix of fresh water creatures, pandas and deep sea creatures. Pity that the Amazon river cruise was suspended due to technical issues.
SheepieDecember 17, 2013Last boat ride is 430pm! Reserve early and make sure you don't miss the ride!
The Ritz-CarltonApril 8, 2014Don't miss giant pandas, Kai Kai & Jia Jia who can be seen playing in their natural habitat at Singapore's River Safari .
Pedro AguirreJanuary 4, 2014Nice experience but can't take boat ride to see Amazon river... Tickets sold out very fast. To walk around the park takes around 2 hours
Adryl LDecember 30, 2013Crowded crowded crowded. And no space for people to take the river boat ride even when people arrive at 11am. For real? That's almost half of the entire place missed out.
Ping KiungApril 5, 2014The place is still enjoyable even if it is raining. Most walkways are sheltered
Amy ZJanuary 10, 2014Boat ride is only 15-20 minutes long. Too fast to really watch the animals along the way.
JonathanApril 9, 2013Go during week and term time. Empty and no time restrictions for staying in the Panda enclosure.
- JonathanApril 9, 2013Panda building built at a cost of SGD$5.6 million. Whole River Safari built at a cost of SGD$160 million.

"Very cool place! Went on a weekday morning so there weren’t many people around. Enjoyed the huge aviaries and letting the birds get close to me. Many restaurants and cafes and air conditioned spaces"
