    Cool experience! Lots of walking.
    This was such a fun experience! That being said I felt like you had to be “in the know” for some things, and luckily I went with my friend who had been several times before. 1. Sign up for the show, which you can reserve day of for free 2. It’s a bit of a maze so check the map often and allot at least 3 hours to really see everything 3. There are some animals apparently (elephant, not sure what else) that you can’t see if you go by foot and can only see from the bus 4. If you are seeing it on foot, it’s a good amount of walking!! I felt like I was on a little nature hike so be sure to wear comfy shoes to walk in. We saw so many animals that I didn’t even know existed and it was neat that it was in the evening so the nocturnal animals were actually out and about rather than sleeping in the corner (though some animals were sleeping). The large natural settings the animals were given made it seem indeed more like a safari than a zoo exhibit (seeing shadows of animals behind leaves or sensing their rustling movement). The immersive areas (civets, bats) were the coolest and most exhilarating parts.

    A Must Do In Singapore
    Fantastic experience. Very well organised and a great way to see animals up close in the night. You enter via your ticket (recommend you get in advance) in 15 minute time slots. Taken around in an open eclectic tram. The pace was good and the recorded commentary was very well done. Over all would high recommend for adults and children!

    Kids love it soo much!
    We were a big group of 20 people - 12 adults 8 kids. We booked the seats for creatures of the Night show, check the website to book it. The show was impressive, we were wondering how can all the animals cooperate with the act. We then took the tram ride around. As it was quite dark, we sometimes have to look really hard to find the animals, but we understand that is to maintain the original nature of the wildlife. We really hope that we were more well-rested during the day so that we have more energy to go around the safari after the tram ride.

    Incredible, loved this attracts.
    If staying in Singapore, I recommend the Night Safari . A small sit down show, a walk around some of the animals, and then a tour bus which takes you on the Safari. Non stop animals , great knowledgable trip.

    Walk the fishing cat track.
    The night safari was consistent with our expectations based on marketing. The entry staff were friendly and helpful with our Klook tickets. We enjoyed the tram ride, but especially the walk to the fishing cat, which surprised us that it is a real thing. Well worth the effort.

    Not worth the hype
    Don’t get me wrong if it wasn’t so crowded this may be an enjoyable place. You need to buy the tickets online, shop around as they were priced at over $100 and I ended up getting two for a hundred dollars less than the first site I went to. Once u get the tickets u need to book in a time. If you don’t do that then they may not let you in regardless of what the website says! Catch the red train to Khatib station and there is a free shuttle to the zoo which the night safari is next to. Line ups are crazy. The theaterette has a show on but unless you have young kids it’s really not worth the time. Line up can last an hour or more to get on the tram to get around the park and I’d suggest sitting on the right side of the tram as there wasn’t much to be seen on the left side. It’s hard to take pictures with the vehicle moving also. I’m thinking if ur fit then maybe use the walking trails. Kids everywhere, crowds are manic And people are just rude. The staff Themselves are lovely. Would I go again? Hands down no! Mind u I’ve been to Africa and seen the animals in their habitat and you can’t beat that!

    Interesting but not a must-visit
    I brought my Asian tourist friends here but not sure if they really enjoyed it. It's pretty dark and nothing much to see, as the animals on display are pretty common in South East Asia (think deers, elephants, bats, otters etc), though the show was really well organized. Tickets are pretty pricey for the experience and it's really far out. We were lucky the weather was good but the walking also made us sweat quite a lot.

    Great family attraction
    Location: a bit far from the city ... but good travel options. Attraction: every age group would enjoy it... children would love it. Being able to see diff animals up close was fascinating Aside from the sharing there is a show called creatures of the night which is also very enjoyable. Don't miss this!!!

    A great experience if you take your time.
    Tips 1. DO NOT TAKE THE TRAM. You’ll queue for ages and you’ll miss most of the animals. It’s only about a 1500m walk and you needn’t take any steps - though you will miss a couple of pens. 2. Don’t rush. We took 2hrs and still could have spent longer. 3. Be quiet. You’ll be amazed at the racket some people were making.

    Night safari
    We were always in a dilemna whether to take the day safari or night safari in the zoo of Singapore.. But day we have experienced in India too, night safari was different.. Tram ride was a good experience to visit the zoo, there was an animal show that we did and was good.. I was told later that you can go around by foot also in the night time,which would have been a good experience, nevertheless something for next time

The Night Safari is not worth 50 SGD if you have ever been on an African Safari. The animals, which may or may not be visible, are mostly viewed from a small tram you are herded onto. They are mostly eating their evening meal or laying about. The demonstration show would be fun for children, but not so much for adults. After doing the above activities and waiting in the long lines we decided not to walk one of the trails so can’t tell you if better animal viewing was possible.

If you love animals or travelling with someone who does this is the experience for you!
It's a 35-minute drive from orchard road and they are plenty of signs to make your experience stress free.
I recommend going on the train ride the wait is worth it and to also experience the show in outdoor theatre as it is not only a way to learn but is funny and interesting watching the different types of animals.
On the way, out make sure to wait in the taxi stand if your waiting for a 'taxi or grab' driver, where you got dropped off before is illegal to be picked up from as it creates traffic.

We had a great time at the night safari during a long Friday evening layover at the airport. We booked 7:15 tickets on online but underestimated the length of the taxi que and busy peak hour traffic from the airport (50min travel) about ($40 Sing Dollars) and got there late. To not spend time waiting in lines we walked around the zoo first, it took 1 1/2 hrs then got on a quarter full tram (no line) for the 40 min ride. Whilst the day zoo is a better experience if you only have time to do one. For repeat visitors, the night zoo was awesome to see animals up and active. Our 10yr and 12yr boys really enjoyed it. We left at 10:20pm. Plenty of taxis waiting at the rank and we’re back at the airport 25 mins later. Terrific way to spend the layover.

After dealing with various situations in Singapore where people were so honest about correcting their mistakes, it came as a shock to feel so cheated by the ridiculous Night Safari Singapore.

If you really must go, then add it on to an afternoon trip to the zoo. But it would be a waste of money to do the Night Safari by itself. It's going to take you around half an hour to get there by taxi, and the taxi will cost around SGD 25, and then back again to your hotel.

Hundreds, if not thousands of people arrive for the 7.15 ... and then again for the 8.15 entrance, and so on. Fortunately the queues move fast, and the staff get you on the trams quickly.

You would think as dusk fell you would get a reasonable view of the animals. But you don't. Most the the animals you will see will be various deer and hogs. Let's be honest, what people really want to see is lions, tigers and magnificent beasts. Does anyone care about seeing hogs in the dark ?

Many of the animals have dark fur .. so what you might get to see is some white or pink in their ears, and that's about it. Other impressive animals like the elephants, you can see them a whole lot better in daylight. So there's no point looking at them at night.

We were also told the tram ride was around 45 minutes. It was over in 30 minutes.

They save the best for last. A tiger, properly lit, in a small enclosure so it paces back and forth behind glass. Not entirely sure that's one happy tiger. And that's it, that is your highlight right at the end, the last 5 to 8 seconds.

Also, irritatingly there's a horrible recorded American cheesy narration. They constantly ask people to be quiet to not scare the animals, but the Chinese and Indians don't listen or understand and jabber the whole trip, so ruin any atmosphere. Would have loved to have fed some of them to the lions.

I also have my doubts about some of the animals in the main zoo. The beautiful leopards and cheetahs constantly pace back and forth in a very small space. It would send a human mad, so heaven knows what it does to an animal.

With so many great reviews we followed the masses of people in Dec 2019 to see animals at night. There was about 20mins wait in line to buy tickets. There was about 40mins wait in line to get into the night safari. There was then another 35min wait in a zig zag line to get a tram ride to see some animals in their enclosures. We would have liked to go around again but weren’t willing to join the line again. For over $200+ for a family of 5, I don’t think it was worth it. They let too many people in the zoo even though there are set entrance times. There are still people there from the earlier entrance time.
Great place to see some animals and lots of people queuing.

We pre-booked the tickets with a specific entry time (9.15). Got there at 8.30, people were lining up, and the queue was long.

Once you scanned the ticket and got in; there was another long queue for the tram. By the time we sat on the tram, it was past 10.15, which ‘supposed to be’ the next entry time. The tram ride only last for an hour while we wasted more time on queuing.

This is clearly over capacity. It is poorly organized and simply chaotic.

We were torn whether to visit the Night Safari or Singapore Zoo but chose this as it seemed like a unique experience - and we certainly weren't disappointed.

On arrival, most people head straight to the tram so we walked along the paths instead. This place has a very special atmosphere and it was wonderful to see the animals start to quietly emerge as it got darker. After we'd walked everywhere we saw the show (fun but probably aimed more for kids), and then got on the tram for the drive around. Do try to do a bit of walking as well as the tram - we saw some animals one way but not the other and vice versa.

I'd highly recommend this place as I've never come across anything quite like it and it's a much more manageable temperature to be walking around than in the day! Takes about 45min-1 hour to get there in a taxi from the centre.

We visited the Night Safari in June 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We arrived at 8pm but didn’t have time to attend one of the shows. Recommend to arrive around 7pm if you want to see the shows which you need to book in advance. There are also opportunities to feed some of the animals which also need to be booked in advance.

We got the MRT to Khatib and then the shuttle bus to the Night Safari. This cost 1 dollar and runs every 20 minutes. The last bus back is 11pm - this bus does get busy so recommend arriving before if you want a seat.

Absolutely love the night safari

#1 Night Safari Tip - Go on a rainy weekday.

Absolutely no queues to be seen (as not seen in photos). We were able to ride the tram numerous times without having to line up at all. Most of the trams weren’t even half full.

The cooler weather makes walking the trails and a pleasant overall experience.

The animals were frisky and alert due to cooler weather as well.

You must visit night safari when in Singapore, and like I said, choose a rainy weekday and enjoy the park without the queues.

I’d also recommend doing the Night Safari on a seperate day to the zoo, especially if you have kids. You don’t want to fatigued when visiting.

When buying ticket for night Safari, the rainforest Luminar is a compulsory bundle. However after the trip at the Safari, there is virtually no time for the rainforest Luminar anymore, let alone catching the last bus to MRT station which ends before or exactly at the Safari closure.
A Chinese guy was seen selling “discounted” online tickets before the official ticketing booth, giving reasons of selling off unused tickets from friend which obviously was made up. A scalper indeed but not regulated, shouldn’t have happened in Singapore.
