Singapore Zoo is fantastic, you can see white tigers, watch the elephants have a bath and see a Polar Bear diving for fish. The best experience I had was touching a snake at breakfast and eating breakfast with an Orangutan. A must see.

Great experience not just for tourists but also for the locals. There also numerous animal performances that are quite delightful to watch. Not only that, interaction between certain animals at certain times are allowed such as snakes during breakfast.
