"For a break from all the food, I recommend stopping by the Singapore Zoo, a 28-hectare rainforest environment on the margins of the Upper Seletar Reservoir." - Marguerite Imbert
"The zoo’s signature breakfast program, relaunched as Breakfast in the Wild and inspired by the original Breakfast with Ah Meng, lets families dine alongside friendly residents such as orangutans, macaws and tamanduas, with post-meal animal interactions and photo keepsakes. Meals combine local and international flavours with an emphasis on sustainability — dishes use sustainably sourced palm oil, wildlife-friendly OWA coffee, and omit beef due to its environmental impact." - Joy Fang and Anna Tan
"A zoo-hosted glamping staycation that aims to immerse families in wildlife experiences: the one-night package (priced at $1,599 for a family of four) includes a spacious dome tent at the Pavilion by the Lake, admission tickets, and breakfast and dinner at the Forest Lodge. Guests participate in guided wildlife programmes including tours and feeding sessions with elephants and rhinoceroses, and on the final day meet a mystery animal ambassador, making this a high-end, wildlife-focused overnight option." - Dinesh Ajith
"Operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, this open-air wildlife attraction is part of a broader conservation effort focused on Southeast Asia; it reopened to visitors after the circuit breaker closure but experienced reduced capacity, supply and funding challenges during lockdowns. The site contributes to public education and supports regional projects and partners, while facing wider threats to wildlife such as illegal trade and the need to integrate social, economic and technological approaches into conservation. Visitors can expect an organisation-driven emphasis on conservation, research and community engagement linked to broader regional initiatives." - Mia Chenyze & Rachel Eva Lim
