The Singapore Zoo

The zoo is a place you should not miss visiting while in Singapore. It is a 'open concept' zoo which means there is minimum barrier between you and the exhibits. Spend a day there to enjoy not just the exhibits but also the 23 hectacres of tropical setting. Try to visit early in the morning though, before it becomes too hot and humid and the crowd turns up. Here are some animals that you will meet at the Singapore Zoo.
