Next, venture to River Safari to meet sea cows, better known as manatees. Manatees and cows share a similar pastime — both species love chomping on grass. This Lunar New Year, for the first time, guests can book a unique reunion lunch set amidst the home of the giant pandas. The curated experience includes a five-course Lunar New Year meal, a guided Giant Panda Forest tour, reserved VIP seating at the Once Upon A River Show and an Amazon River Quest boat ride.
Over at Jurong Bird Park, keep a lookout for the cattle egrets. In the wild, cattle egrets are said to be inseparable from cows, feeding off the flies and bugs that tend to bother the cattle.
As night falls, lay your eyes on the Indian gaur, also known as the Indian bison or seladang at Night Safari. These magnificent creatures are the largest species of bovine and can weigh up to 1500 kilograms.
The celebrations would not be complete without some festive fun! Observe how our Lunar New Year stars at all four parks sharpen their instincts as they interact with festive themed enrichment devices made to resemble red packets and firecrackers.
Don’t forget to pop by our retail shops for some festive offers and pick up a set of limited-edition red packets. These red packets featuring animals at our parks can be purchased at only $3 with a minimum spend of $15.
