A Recommended Zoo Itinerary
that will Make your Zoo Tour Rewarding

The following zoo itinerary was drafted out after several visits to the Zoo. I have improved it over time and included lots of pictures and video clips which I have taken at the Zoo. By going through the itinerary, you would have a good preview of the Zoo and a clear picture of what to expect when you visiting the Zoo.

Singapore Zoo Itinerary

Head left to Treetops Trail to spot Siamang above of you and False Ghavial beneath you.

Follow Tiger Trek to see White Tiger. Don't miss Gibbon, which is not far away from the White Tiger habitat.

Catch the White Tiger swimming and moving around early in the morning. If you come and see them in the afternoon under the hot sun, they are likely sitting still under the shade. Gibbon is another animal which is very active in the morning. You will hear them screaming and jumping about and perform all kinds of tricks under the rope.
