What people say, in short
People recommend the Night Safari as a different kind of wildlife park, seen after dark and out of the daytime heat. Several advise getting there early, ideally when it opens, to fit in the tram, the trails and a show, and one urges booking an entry slot ahead because slots are limited. Some rank it below the other Mandai parks, though one stresses that is because the others are exceptional, not because it is bad. Two warn that it is exhausting after a long flight or a day at the other parks, and one reply says it is too far from Gardens by the Bay to do both in one evening.
