Unique Experiences To Be Unveiled At Mandai Wildlife ReserveÂ
The Mandai Wildlife Reserve is gearing up for new experiences inside Night Safari and Singapore Zoo. Here's what you and your family can look forward to at Singapore’s day and night wildlife parks:
New & Upcoming Experiences At Night Safari
Pangolin Trail
Night Safari, the world’s first nocturnal animal park is celebrating 30 years of connecting people to diverse animal species that come alive at night. A new 280m-long walking trail will soon be unveiled at the night wildlife park where visitors can look out for about a dozen different animal species including the Sunda pangolin, slow loris, binturong, oriental small-clawed otter and spotted giant flying squirrel. The new Pangolin Trail will be the first fully sheltered walking trail at Night Safari, allowing guests to explore the jungle and its mysterious denizens at night under all weather conditions. The trail is easily accessible from the entrance of the park.
Brand-New Bull Elephant HabitatÂ
In a majestic tribute to Night Safari’s anniversary, Chawang, the park’s iconic Asian bull elephant, will enthrall visitors at a brand-new bull elephant habitat. Enrichment features like a ‘stable grazer’ that releases hay at random timings will encourage the giant pachyderm to forage more actively, improving its health as well as enhancing its visibility for guests. A look-out deck which can be accessed on foot will allow visitors to observe Chawang at close range.
New & Upcoming Experiences At Singapore Zoo
New Marine Coastal Habitat for the Californian Sea Lions, African Penguins & Harbor Seals + F&B Hub
Over at Singapore Zoo, more exciting developments are being planned under the park’s rejuvenation masterplan. In the works is a new marine coastal habitat for the Californian sea lions and African penguins to be ready in 2027. The existing sea lion and penguin exhibits have been closed since 15 July 2024 to make way for the fresh experience, which will be the first underwater-viewing habitat in the zoo to be integrated with an F&B venue. It will be a mixed species exhibit which also features harbor seals, marking the first time the species will be shown in Singapore. Diners at the first level restaurant will have underwater views of the marine mammals. On the upper level is a bistro where visitors can have vantage views of the sea lions basking in the habitat.
Breakfast in the Wild Experience
In the mornings, the second storey terrace of the Marine Coastal Exhibit and F&B Hub will also be abuzz with Singapore Zoo’s signature dining programme, Breakfast in the Wild. The design incorporates the surrounding tree-line where the orangutans climb and explore in the tree canopy. From an elevated terrace, diners will be able to look out to the animals up amidst the trees and interact with the keepers to learn about the orangutans and other species.
New Flexible-Use Banquet Hall

A new banquet hall with approximately 400 seats will be almost twice the size of the zoo’s current Forest Lodge event space to accommodate larger groups. Outside this banquet hall are spaces that can be set up for a host of curated experiences including animal interactions.
