Wildlife abounds in Singapore, with three world-famous attractions. Jurong Bird Park, Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari are perennial crowd-pleasers, firmly planting Singapore on the map as a global leader in wildlife conservation.
Jurong's massive menagerie of over 9000 feathered friends makes it the biggest bird park in the world. Singapore
Zoo was at the vanguard of the global movement to adapt zoos to the open-enclosure concept. In fact, it is a wonderful irony that one of the world's highest-density populations has accorded so much more room to its four-legged residents.
In recent years, Singapore Zoo has also introduced the wildly popular Night Safari attraction, offering spectacular up-close encounters with a procession of nocturnal creatures in near-to-natural environments.
When you've had your fill of animal amusements, head to the west of the island to catch the cable car to the leisure mecca of Sentosa Island. Billions of dollars have been lavished on Sentosa in recent years, with a wealth of luxury resorts now flanking its sandy tropical shoreline. Most visitors enter the island by catching the cable car from Mt Faber. The sky-high connection across the harbour is exhilarating - if a bit spooky. Sentosa is a glorious pleasure retreat, boasting an enchanting tropical rainforest laced with walking trails, and a vast assortment of theme park rides and attractions.
