Quarter Chicken |
There are a couple more dining options there. You can have a quick bite at Safari Sizzles that sells crispy snacks, have an Asian and Indian Buffet at Ulu Ulu restaurant or enjoy Singapore's all-time favourite dishes such as chicken rice at the same venue. Prices are a tad high at Ulu Ulu so do prepare to spend if you are dining there.

2 WATCH THE SHOWS
There are 2 main shows at the Night Safari. Catch the fiery Thumbuakar Performance and the entertaining Creatures of the night.
Thumbuakar Performance
Flame on! |
The performance is held outside the main entrance, so you still get to see it even if you are not heading into the Night Safari.
Check here for the schedule.
Creatures of the Night |
Be amazed by the otters, binturongs, civets and other night creatures in this highly popular show. The show always has full capacity, so do queue up early if you would like to get a seat. There are 3 shows on most nights with additional shows on Fridays, Saturdays and eve of public holidays. If you are heading there during peak periods, we do recommend either the first or the last show to get your seats.
Here are some of the show highlights for the evening.

Fishing Cat Trail
You could start from either the fishing cat trail or the Wallaby Trail. We do suggest starting from the Fishing Cat Trail and do a clockwise route to complete all 4 trails.

There are 2 enclosures on this trail. The Mangrove Walk containing fruit bats and the Giant Flying Squirrel.
Seeing the fruit bat up close may not be everyone's cup of tea ( especially little kids) but it was easy to see how Batman is inspired by it.

2) Get timed Passes.
The entry to the park is by timing. They are quite strict on timings. If you have an open pass, you might not get in especially when the park is full during the time slot.
3) Go for the 715pm pass
The earlier the better. We were there at 715 pm and managed to complete the trails, sat on trams and watch the last Creature of the Night show. Any later and we would probably have to skip one of this. Be there early, especially if you have kids
4) Take the tram rides first if you have the 715 pm pass
It would be the shortest queue compared to other times and you might even get a chance to sit it twice for the night if time permits.
5) USe Klook for transport
