    We start our day at River Wonders right when it opens. We are hoping to see the new baby giant panda, LeLe, and are excited to find out the Amazon River Quest is included with our ParkHopper pass! Unfortunately the other river water ride is closed due to you-know-what.
    After River Wonders, we head to the main Singapore Zoo - one of the best in the world! We've previously visited San Diego's zoos (which are amazing and also highly rated), so our expectations are pretty high. The monkey enclosures at Singapore Zoo and River Wonders are an open habitat, where you walk trails through where the monkeys live - giving you an up close and personal experience with them! Maybe too personal...
    Because we're short on time, we eat at the Flavors of Penang complex that's immediately outside of the Night Safari. It was absolutely delicious. Night Safari was amazing! We travel with a number of recording devices, but none due well when it's black night out, so our videos at this point take a slightly grainy turn. Night Safari was our favorite park because it's unique and we've never experienced anything like it!

    Enjoyed your video of our national zoo again! Not all restaurants provide napkins, no - and much less so for foodcourts and hawker centres. So yes, many of us bring small packs of tissues in our bags.But Singaporeans typically also use forks/spoons to pry loose the shrimp meat. Takes a bit of practice though!

    Makes me feel amazingly nostalgic and proud. I haven't been home to Singapore in a while. I think the main attraction of the zoo for me is that you often feel like a visitor in the animal's habitat, rather than them being on display for you.

  • @REC_CER
    @REC_CER Před 2 lety +8

    As a local, my advice for your viewers would be to get the park hopper, visit the Zoo first thing in the morning (you can bring your breakfast and seat near the Orang Utans enclosure to eat, while watching them go about their morning), spend a day there, at about 3pm head over to the River Wonder and wander till closing. Then do what you guys did with the Night Safari. But you definitely have to set a whole day out of your itinerary to fully enjoy the parks.

    I think there are 2 species of otters in the zoo, the ones you captured should be the Asian Small Claw Otters which exist in the wild in Singapore technically but I think only at an island Pulau Ubin (accessible by Ferry and you can rent bicycle there for a ride) but very elusive though. It is the same species of otters that was in the Night Safari show. The other one is the Giant Otters of the Amazon which is actually that giant statue you saw at the start of the video. Hope you get to see all the animals in the zoo. The main species of Urban Wild Otters are the Smooth Coated Otters... they all over Singapore but most people goes to Marina Bay area to look for them. Nice video!!

      It depends! Have you/they seen pandas before and is that important? If so, I'd do the River Wonders. If they don't like water life, then the main zoo is a great choice with tons to do.
      That said, the night zoo is totally unique - seeing the animals at night was amazing (and more natural, I think, because many of the animals are nocturnal) and I'd highly recommend that zoo if a night zoo works for your schedule. I think the kids would really enjoy seeing the animals at night.

      It depends! I don't think I'd do all 3 parks with kids. That would be too much. For 2 adults who start first thing, I think all 3 are possible. River Wonders can be done pretty quickly, if you don't read everything. I'd do that first, then spend the rest of the time at the main zoo. Rest during dinner, before the Night Safari opens. It's doable! (but yes, tiring)

    People will usually visit the zoo first in early morning to cover all grounds as it's too big and to beat the afternoon heat. You can generally finish River Wonders within 1 and half to 2 hours (if you skip the shows). And Night Safari is highly recommended to all tourist!! Do try to visit Night Safari next time when it's Halloween, it's one of the most popular event throughout the entire calendar year and usually there's a massive queue during pre-covid time.
    And I'm one of them peeling the prawn shells without using my fingers hahaha!! It's always finger licking good! We don't give out napkins due to the fact people will actually abuse it and it's not really environmental friendly.
    One tip to get cheap tissues, try to look out for the senior citizens or those who had disabilities selling tissues around the hawker centres/MRT stations. Most do sell $1 for 3 packets, hardly $2 but I won't say it doesn't exist. These seniors selling tissues are either retiree wanting to 'kill time' by earning some extras or really trying to make ends meet. Despite us having such a high GDP and having a government taking care of citizens, they do exist, hard fact.
    Looking forward to your next video!

      No, most hawkers and food courts don't provide napkins. Some restaurants provide wet tissues with extra charges...which most Singaporeans will return so as not to pay for them. In this Asia region, we all bring along our own packs of tissues. Cafes would more likely provide napkins. Anyways, we all need tissues (1 piece from eateries is not enough) so most people will have them in the bag or pockets.

    Actually, for the boat ride in River Wonders, if you paid close attention to the sign as you are exiting, it says that you can ride again for free.
    When my family was exiting from the boat ride, I happened to casually glance to the ride and saw the sign. So I stopped and told my family and we rode again.
    We went on Saturday during the weekends and there were quite a lot of people queueing for the ride when we went, so you guys weren't an exception.
    A lot of people don't know about this or they don't care to ride again because they are on a schedule to go to a particular enclosure to see the animals' feeding or catch one of the shows.
    But if anyone visiting SG sees this or is a local going to the River Wonders, just letting you guys know.
