Singapore Full-Day Private Family Tour: Zoo, River Safari & Night Safari
Select participants and date
You step off the car into humidity that smells faintly of rainforest and street food — the Mandai precinct breathing just beyond the city. The morning light catches the rustle of frangipani and the patterned fur of a nearby Malayan tapir as your private guide outlines the day: a carefully paced circuit through Singapore Zoo, the River Safari’s biodome, and an after-dark encounter at the Night Safari. It’s a family day designed to keep small legs moving and big eyes wide.

Adventure Tips
Book Combined Admissions in Advance
Confirm which admissions are included before you go—Night Safari is often covered, but zoo and River Safari tickets may need to be purchased separately to avoid queues.
Bring light rain gear
Intermittent tropical showers are common; a compact rain jacket keeps kids comfortable without adding bulk.
Sun protection and water
Shade is plentiful but the tropical sun is strong—wide-brim hats and refillable water bottles keep everyone hydrated and protected.
Stroller-friendly but flexible
Main paths are stroller accessible, but narrow boardwalks and evening trails at Night Safari are easier to navigate on foot or with a sling.
