Singapore - Jurong Bird Park, night safari And Zoo. HELP.?

Can all these three be visited in one day? If yes, could you give me rough itinerary for this.

If it's not possible, ehich should I leave? Travelling with 2 kids.

Any info on this would help.






Answer :
I have been to Singapore last Dec 2008. I visited both Jurong Bird Park & Night Safari. I feel that one can cover the Bird Park & Night Safari in 1 day as the Bird Park starts as early as 8.30 in the morning while Night Safari is only from 6 evening till midnight. Hence even if one covers Bird Park from morning till say maybe uptil lunch-time or 3, i feel 4 - 5 hours is sufficient to cover the entire bird park by one self. Then some rest and in the evening enjoy Night Safari. Be sure to have Dinner also over there.

Then next day Singapore Zoo with breakfast with the birds there. After the Zoo trip is over, go in the afternoon or in the evenings for the Flyer ride. Too good.

Hope this helps. Also do visit Sentosa Island. Plan for 1 full - day or if you can maybe even two days. It is very beautiful & very vast. I loved the place. Watch Songs of The Sea Show.






Answer :
If you were planning on just enriching each of these sites with your Godly legs and do some window-tourism then yes. Else if you wanted to really enjoy each of these attraction(once in a lifetime!!) I would recommend 2 days. Moreover, if u were to see all of them in one day i would be way too hectic!
With kids I don't think you would walk alone in the dark trails(adventurous) in the Night Safari. The main part of the Night Safari is a ride on a train, while seeing live animals in their habitats. It certainly should not be missed but it would certainly be last on my list. If i were you, i would give the Night Safari a miss. The Jurong Bird park shows are amazing! the Zoo is rather big and has quite a large variety of animals so children would like that! Moreover, if you were to do them all in one day the kids will become tired as both the Bird Park and Zoo require quite a bit of walking and the Night Safari starts after 10 i remember correctly.
If the kids prefer riding a train at night rather than walking a lot then you may cut one of the others but then you will not get the whole Singapore experience.






Answer :
Wif kids, i wud suggest for a trip to Mandai...& leave Jurong Bird Park out of your plans... Coz walking around the whole of Zoo itself is a very tiring and tedious journey..make sure you buy the tram ride tickets at the start of your journey. Coz it sure helps to rest your legs for the night experience at Night Safari while you can still enjoy the sceneries at the Zoo.

For Jurong Bird Park, you can go visit it another day and u can also make plannings to visit other places of interests thats located somewhere near to it.
A pond-fishing experience maybe at Lakeside Fishing Village?







Answer :
I live in Singapore. You will need around 4 hour in bird park to enjoy most of it, for some exhibit you might want to sit there and enjoy.Good time to go after 12.30pm. The All star bird show9 2.30pm?), Bird of Prey (3.30 or4pm)start in the afternoon.
Day zoo,4 hour, Show Feeding from 12pm or 1pm .

Night Safari start from 7pm, best time 8pm.to 11pm.

Purchase 3 in 1 park ticket for discount.






Answer :
Hi. Could you tell me the date u wish to travel to singapore, how many days are u going to be there, which hotel ur staying at-if u have made a booking already :)
I have a travel agency and I have also been to Singapore last September. It's undoubtedly a beautiful place and has very good sight seeing for kids.
If you have not already made your bookings - I can make a package for you which includes sight seeing. If you have already made the bookings, then too its fine. Let me know the exact no. of days u r in Singapore (also when u would be arriving there-morn, noon, night-as this would make a difference) and I could help n making the itinerary for you. Hope this is fine.
Cheers!







Answer :
Do you purposely omit THE UNDERWATER WORLD at sentosa island? You will surely regret if you miss this one.

I am pretty sure the kids would love to walk through the tunnel enjoying those fishes swim around them.

I suggest you drop the bird park as they can be found in the zoo as well.

One full day will be enough to visit all these places.






Answer :
Just plan your trip as follows:

First, Jurong Bird Park, Second, Zoo and Third Night safari. You can
make it in one day. No problem.

Any suggestions for an exciting experience in Singapore?

Apart from Sentosa, Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird park and the malls....what other exciting places and activities can i experience in singapore?






Answer :
You want something off the regular tourist haunts?

1. Going to Changi Prison may be interesting to some people...

Before you all think I am suggesting something illegal, there is a Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2009 which is an iconic run that offers participants an opportunity to run through the Changi Prison Complex while passing through historical sites such as the Johore Battery, Changi Chapel Museum and Old Changi Prison Wall.

2. How about going to the Turf Club at Kranji? Join racegoers for a day at the races.

Answer :
You can visit the Newton Food Circus, Singapore's oldest Hawker Centre, and try out every major ethnic group's traditional food.
If you want food from other countries, try Cuppage Terrace and Holland Village.

You can also visit the Sultan Mosque. It's set among conserved buildings, so you get the feeling of the 'old Singapore'. If you wander around that area you will find the Sultan's palace, lots of quaint shops, a very old Muslim cemetery and some traditional Islamic schools.

Chinatown is worth a visit too. You can sight see the temples and look around at the authentic clan association buildings.

Little India, including Mustafa, is interesting too, and you're guaranteed to walk away with lots of souvenirs. They sell literally everything and at cheap prices. Aoid it on weekends, though, because it's too crowded.

If you're more into nature, you can visit Macritchie Reservoir or Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. It's a primary forest full of wild monkeys and lizards. Great for a long walk.

You could also try one of the islands like Pulau Ubin or St John's. It's a day trip and you'll need to check up the ferry timings.

Hope I helped!






Answer :
Head down to Old Changi Hospital (no longer used as a hospital though...). It gets very exciting and happening on Thursday nights, and you can meet interesting characters there. So what are you waiting for?






Answer :
There are many to look for e.g. a) the dark/red light area in Geylang b) the old bugis st....now 100 stalls for ladies buy c) to Sungei Rd in Jln Besar for Thief market shopping.

What should I take to go to jurong bird park from Singapore airport?

And how long would it take on a weekday afternoon?
How much time would I need to complete my visit in the bird park?






Answer :
From the airport, take the MRT to Boon Lay Station (EW27), then take SBS Transit bus 194 or 251. The bus journey takes about 15 minutes during off peak hours and bus frequency is between 13 and 17 minutes. You may request the bus captain to inform you when the bus reaches Bird Park.

The whole journey may take 60 to 90 minutes.

Take a cab and you may reach there in 45 minutes.






Answer :
As said above, the best way to reach there is through MRT + Bus. It will cost you less. Else you always have the option to take Taxi in case budget is not your concern.

Note: Please go early as it will take almost the entire day to see all the beautiful birds and some amazing shows. If you go early you will not miss any shows. So be there as early as possible to experience one of the finest bird park in the world.
