Jurong Frog Farm : Singapore's Frog Wonderland
The largest frog farm in Singapore is in Kranji despite it being named Jurong
Frog Farm. It has its roots in the Jurong area in 1981 breeding American
Bullfrogs before moving to Kranji. It is the largest and probably the only
frog farm in Singapore.
Jurong frog farm
is open to visitors on weekends (and selected days) with free and easy tours
and other activities such as catching a frog or even a family tour. We made a
impromptu visit there en route to
Marugen Koi Farm to have a quick look. While you are in the vicinity, you could also plan for a
visit to the nearby
Hay Dairies
to feed the goats.

If you are planning a visit to the farm, do head down during weekends and
public holidays where activities are planned throughout the farm. On a
weekday, the farm is closed to the public and there is nothing to do there.
Here are some of the activities listed on their website
Frog Quest Adventure - $18 (Sat, Sun & PH)
|
| The Frog Quest - Jurong Frog Farm |
A free itinerary where you do a self-navigated tour to explore the farm on
your own. You will be provided with a frog quest map and a frog pen. Explore
the farm and look for clues to fill up the map. Participants will also be able
to feed and interact with the frogs.
|
Catch a Frog $10 (Sat, Sun & PH)
|
For more gung-ho, you can try catching a frog in the pen for $10. While some
may find it squeamish, there are those who are willing to challenge
themselves.
Feeding Frenzy $3 per box ((Sat, Sun & PH)
|
| Feeding area |
This is probably the most economical way to enjoy a day out. There are over
10,000 American Bullfrogs for you to feed and each of them has a voracious
appetite. The frogs are housed in a few pens so there is enough space
for you to have a spot.
Grab a box of frog grub for $3 and let the frenzy begin!
|
Family Tour $90 ( Wed to Sundays and PH)
|
If you would like to have a more intimate experience with the frog with the
family, take the Family tour program that is led by the president Frogolofist.
See the life cycle display exhibit, feed frog and fish, take a souvenir home
and even sample frog meat. The duration of the tour is approximately 1 hour.\
|
When you are there on weekends, do make a pit stop at the Royal Frog Shop.
Enjoy a fresh meal of Deep Fried Cajun Frog Meat, Crocodile Nuggets (!) ,
Crispy Frog Skin and more. The only question is- do you dare to take up the
challenge?
|
For a lazy weekend, a visit to the Jurong Frog Farm would be great for kids.
Other activities you could do in the area include a stroll at Sungei Boleh
Wetland, a
meal at Gardenasia, a
visit to a Koi Farm
and even
visit a goat farm
to feed the goats.
