What people say, in short
Visitors frequently recommend Singapore Zoo, including enthusiasts who compare it favourably with zoos elsewhere. One praises the variety of species and enclosure design, while another considers it the least impressive of the Mandai parks and in need of renewal. Heat, walking and the journey from central Singapore recur as practical caveats; some point to buses and shuttles rather than taxis. Advice on combining parks varies, with several warning against a rushed zoo-and-bird-park day.
