Then, embark on an insightful peep into animal healthcare. This backstage pass allows you to discover the inner workings of our Wildlife Nutrition Centre which caters to the nutritional needs of some 15,000 animals that call Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, and River Wonders home.

Learn how the dedicated nutrition team works hand in hand with their animal care counterparts to plan diets that closely replicate what the animals would eat in the wild.

Continue your journey at our Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre and turn your attention to the clinical world of our veterinary experts as they keep our wild residents in the pinkest of health. If you’re lucky, you might catch our vets tending to a patient or two.

Your private guide will then transport you to Wild Africa for an introduction to our charismatic carnivores. Round off the afternoon with priority seats at the Splash Safari presentation and soak in the aquatic acrobatics of our captivating Californian Sea Lion while learning how to better care for our seas and planet.

After a hearty dinner, breathe in the evening smells of the rainforest with a relaxing stroll as the park winds down for the day – keep your eyes peeled and listen with a keen ear and you might chance upon native wildlife such as the Spotted Wood Owls or Sunda Colugos that reside in our parks as they start their twilight rituals. As night falls, retreat to the cosy comfort of your dome tent and let the soothing sounds of the Upper Seletar Reservoir rock you to sleep.
