BESTBird Paradise has been greatly upgraded with Jurong Bird Park moving in 2023. Purchased at a good price. If possible, buy a voucher in Korea. There is no staffed ticket office on site, so you have to purchase online anyway.
Amazon-themed,
Singapore River Wonders
Among the various theme parks in Singapore, Singapore River Wonders is Asia's first safari themed around rivers. Originally called River Safari, it reopened as River Wonders during the COVID period. The interior is divided into a total of 9 areas, including the Yangtze River, Nile River, Mississippi River, and Ganges River, and you can meet the creatures that actually live in these rivers. In particular, you can meet over 6,000 animals of 40 species, including endangered animals.
River Wonders is a combination of a zoo and an aquarium, and its biggest selling point is that you can meet both terrestrial and native animals.
The Amazon of Asia,
Meet River Wonders
Visit River Wonders, the first in Asia inspired by the world's famous rivers, and take a boat ride along the river to see magnificent scenery and animals. You can meet the representative rivers from the Mississippi River to the Yangtze River as well as the animals that live in the river. In particular, since you can see the characteristic animals of each river, you can have an experience that is hard to find anywhere else. Meet endangered animals in the Mississippi River in North America, and see island villages in the Mekong River. Also, you can meet animals in the rainforest on the Amazon River Quest, the highlight of River Safari.
Here's how to get there
Singapore River Wonders is located in the northern part of Singapore. It is a bit far from the city center, so it is a good idea to know how to get there. The editor will introduce the cheapest and most convenient way.
1. Take the shuttle bus:
The best way is to take the River Wonders shuttle bus from Exit A of Khatib Station (Red Line) in downtown Singapore. Most travelers take the shuttle bus to visit River Wonders.
The shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes from 8:00 AM to 7:20 PM.
The operating fare is 1 Singapore dollar and the journey time is approximately 15 minutes.
2. Traveling by public transportation:
The next way is to take bus number 138 from Ang Mo Kio Station to Choa Chu Kang Station, then take bus number 927.
Don't miss the Amazon River Quest!
The most popular attraction at Singapore River Wonders is definitely the Amazon River Quest. With the concept of going on an adventure to the mysterious Amazon, you can meet the Amazon’s wild animals while riding a River Quest boat. You can meet unique wild animals such as Brazilian tapirs and jaguars, and it’s even more special and fun because you get to meet them on a boat exclusive to the Amazon River Quest!
I absolutely must meet the panda
There are also lazy pandas living in River Wonders. There are only two pandas, named Kai Kai and Jia Jia. They currently have three cubs and live happily together.
The reason why we must see the pandas at River Wonders is because there are no fences here, so we can see the panda family up close and vividly.
The aquarium is also part of River Wonders’ charm.
River Wonders also has a separate aquarium. The aquarium isn't that big, but you can see a variety of animals, including otters, eels, and rays. You should definitely visit this place, especially the underwater tunnel, where you'll feel like you're underwater!
If you are with children, I recommend Once Upon a River
Every river in River Wonders has a different story. There is a place where you can hear these stories and watch the performances yourself, called Once Upon a River. It is held at Boat Plaza, and there are three performances a day. The times are 11:30 AM / 2:30 PM / 4:30 PM, and you can reserve seats 2 hours before each performance. You can reserve seats right here through this link !
Introducing the optimal travel route by looking at the map
The River Wonders begins at the center below. Just remember one thing: Tour counterclockwise from the starting point. This way, you can see River Wonders while waiting in shorter lines.
