Spend a weekend morning on a guided nature ramble in Singapore Zoo. If you’re lucky, you might even spot native wildlife such as colugos, monitor lizards and long-tailed macaques. Not an early riser? Then embark on the WILDerful Singaporean Trail at your own pace, across our three day parks. Discover more about the diversity of Singapore’s fauna—including the majestic oriental pied hornbill, diminutive lesser mousedeer and adorable Asian small-clawed otter. Remember to catch some of our wildest residents saluting the nation’s sovereignty during the animal presentations too!
Complement the National Day celebration with a feast of local delights at Singapore Zoo’s Kampong Mandai. Indulge in treats such as delectable yam cake and tenderly grilled satay. For those Instagrammable moments, sip on a “Lion City” Cappuccino, topped with a dusting of cocoa in the shape of the Merlion, or tuck into an SG Chicken Cottage Pie, proudly decorated in red and white.
