Make sure that you take the time to vist this attraction. This is a completely new zoo experience that is well woth it. Stay close enough to give yourself plenty of time here. You will be pressed for time if you are staying on Sentosa or at the Airport. more

My wife and I just visited this zoo last night. While the Night Safari does not compare with going on a real safari in the bush, it's not competing with that. It's a zoo, but when compared to regular zoos this one take the visitor to a whole new level of realism. The entire Night Safari zoo was built specifically... more

The "show" if you can call that a Show lasts 30 min. half of which is the host saying "No flash" in different languages. The train ride is nice because in a hot Singapore night you find some fresh air, but for the rest there s no fun. Animals are mostly sleeping and kept under a light and for elephant... more

We visited the Night Safari this summer. Not worth it. Just visit the Singapore zoo or the bird park. The night safari is just too overhyped. Most of the animals were sleeping. The saving grace was the tribal dance. Its creepy to walk at night. So you end up spending 10$ more for the tram. Skip it and you will... more

Good to experience at least once in your life. Once is enough though, as its good but not great. Your kids will love it, not only the tram safari ride but also the 'creatures of the night' show (it is worth the wait in the queue to see this show). Lighting in the park at night is very low, and... more

Fun!!

The Night Safari was the highlight of our trip to Singapore. It is a totally different feel than walking around in the zoo during the day. You really fell like you are out there in the jungle coming upon .....the Lions!! Take advantage of the walking trails, but be sure you get out of there on time as transport can... more

My family and I went here and really enjoyed ourselves. This is an extension of the Singapore zoo, but at night with all the nocturnal animals. It was a really cool way at going to a zoo that we hadn't experienced so it's definitely something you should do. We purchased the tour where they pick you up at your hotel... more

Apparently this place is great....but not the night we went obviously! Poor lighting was a given as these are nocturnal animals....no flash photography so no decent pictures. You'd see more of the animals in your local zoo where you can see them properly. The tram goes fairly quickly without stopping so if you don't see the animal quickly you won't... more

fabulous unique night out. but make sure you watch the show before you go round on the tram or round the trails as you'll lose time and miss the show like us!! food quite well priced for a tourist attraction. get a taxi or go on an organised tour to the place as public transport is pointless. they advise getting... more

Our evening was spent at an attraction unique to Singapore – the Night Safari. Think zoo – but in the dark. You wander the dimly lit paths between habitats and when you get there, you look carefully for the animals. It’s a neat way to see nocturnal animals you don’t normally see. Although there were animals from around the world,... more
