As the nation celebrates 60 years, Mandai Wildlife Reserve offers something special for everyone with an exciting line-up of wildlife encounters, special SG60 promotions, and nature-themed family fun awaits! With the launch of the 'Mandai is Wild about SG' initiative, there’s no better time to create unforgettable memories with your loved ones.
Get Closer to Wildlife Than Ever Before
Experience nature with Hello from the Wild — starts from 7 June 2025, with 20-minute experiences offering intimate, up-close encounters with the gentle capybara at River Wonders, as well as the playful fennec foxes and ring-tailed lemurs at Singapore Zoo. A wallaby edition of Hello from the Wild will launch at Night Safari later this year.
Learn about animal care and behavior in fun, hands-on sessions led by expert trainers. The experience includes hands-on activities ranging from feeding the animals to preparing enrichment activities that keep them mentally and physically stimulated, such as hiding superworms under pebbles for the fennec foxes to forage.
Also don’t forget to experience conditioning, a positive reinforcement training technique that encourages animals to voluntarily exhibit certain behaviours in exchange for treats or other rewards. For an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience, Backstage Pass: Penguin Encounters at Bird Paradise offers special opportunity to meet the king, gentoo and northern rockhopper penguins in their chilly off-exhibit facility.
Launching on 7 June 2025, the programme will give you a rare glimpse into the daily care of these fascinating birds such as food preparation and how keepers look after them. Starting 18 July 2025, you can also enjoy a new VR film adventure that immerses you in the world of penguins at Ocean Network Express Penguin Cove
Follow a Digital Trail or Plan the Perfect Day Out
From 31 May to 10 August 2025, your family can explore the Born to be Wild digital trail, where you’ll uncover stories of native wildlife and even meet animals born right here in Singapore! Complete the trail to receive a limited-edition SG60 memento (while stocks last).
If you’re here for the first time or still unsure of where to begin, just check out the Too Wild to Miss itineraries, which guide you through must-see highlights — including the free-ranging orangutan exhibit at Singapore Zoo and the new Pangolin Trail at Night Safari.
Along the way, you’ll come across nostalgic photo spots that celebrate iconic moments in Mandai’s history — like the birth of Singapore’s first giant panda cub, Le Le. These heartwarming stops invite you to reflect on the past while creating new memories with your loved ones. You can explore them all with the Too Wild to Miss itineraries at https://www.mandai.com/en/plan-your-visit/itinerary
Don’t Miss the Wild Day Out
Also not to be missed is the return of Wild Day Out, Mandai Wildlife West’s signature community event, set to return on 28 and 29 June 2025. The event will feature local themes and creative activities in collaboration with The Artground.
Families can look forward to playing the nostalgic Five Stones, crafting orchid postcards inspired by Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, and other immersive activities inspired by nature and wildlife. Furkids are welcome to join in the fun too, as the publicly accessible Mandai Wildlife West is dog-friendly!
