Sentosa What to Expect

The zoo is well-worth visiting, even if you generally do not like zoos. If you actually like seeing animals, this is a must-see. The Singapore Zoo was one of the pioneers in the natural habitat concept, and they have got it down. There are no cages, and for most animals, all that stands between them and you is a moat. Fences are cleverly hidden by greenery such that in most cases unless you are trying to look they just aren’t there. Some critters are behind glass, like reptiles, but even then live within a natural looking setting. This all creates the impression that you are seeing the animals up close. There are beautiful white tigers and some of the biggest crocodiles I have ever seen. Most of the animals seemed lively and animated. The shows and feeding sessions go on all day, and are entertaining. They can descend a bit into circus-like stunts, and this may be a bit off-putting when compared to how much effort otherwise goes into making the zoo not seem like an animal penitentiary. You can pay to be photographed with various creatures, or on ponies or elephants, so parents may need to sort out their stance on this before hand ‘cause it will look like fun to your kids. Food is everywhere and not too expensive. There are some shops, but they are heavy on souvenirs and light on necessities, so bring along any diapers and other baby maintenance gear you will need for the day. With a few exceptions, the zoo is generally flat and easy on strollers, with wide paved paths to take you between exhibits. A lot of it is in the sun, so sun screen and hats are needed. There is a zoo tram that you can pay for that will take you past all the major exhibits.

Singapore is the little island that could - it's probably the only country in the planet which decides that it can't survive without foreign visitors and get their acts together (hello, there's less people to organize over there - and they can do it quicker by brute force - stop smoking, spitting, and chewing gum or you're fined - so cold and yet so cool since it works). It transformed itself into a green beauty with shady large trees lining their streets and despite space constraints, still manage to provide us with plenty of public open spaces. Even a swimming pool on the 5th floor of a bldg offer a lofty view to die for. It offers almost everything any kind of tourists want, except nature trekkers and adventurers. Shoppers might not get the best deals since everything tends to be costlier here, but they will find it. So would the foodies type. Stylish culinary spots offer great ambiance, like Chijmes or Clarke Quay, and the latest, Tanglin. The culture vulture will never run out of options with every major bands, circus, and whatnot performers gracing its monumental theatres the Esplanades. With good preservation policy Singapore has some European grandeur left in its architecture, vestiges of its British colony days. The National Museum is a great place to start learning about the place! Kids would love the night safari and bookworms wouldn't want to leave the massive vast Kinokuniya store at Ngee An. Most hotels (all int'l chains are available here) are pricey, even the windowless, damp, 'cheap' ones. MRT/subway and bus systems cover most places (and there's not much to cover to begin with) so it's still explorable on the cheap. Otherwise, there are the "uncles" taxidrivers, and you can call these taxicabs companies to order one and avoid the queues. They are convenient, some accept credit cards payment and most will give you receipts.

Jurong is a highly industrial area, there are various tourist attractions such as the Museum of Science which is a fun place to bring kids to play and learn. There's a free shuttle bus from Jurong Mall.

One thing not to miss in Singapore is the Singapore Zoo. It is probably the best in the world and you cannot miss it.
