Go Wild For SG50!
Residents of Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari, River Safari and Singapore Zoo celebrate Jubilee Weekend in true Singapore-style with flags and celebratory songs; local visitors enjoy 50% admission discounts.
For over four decades, animal residents in the wildlife parks have witnessed Singapore’s growth and development through changing faces of zoo-goers — the kids and young adults that once walked down the cobbled paths of the two earliest Wildlife Reserve Singapore parks (Jurong Bird Park & Singapore Zoological Gardens) in awe of the revolutionary open concept exhibits in the 70s and 80s have now returned as parents and grandparents, bulky film cameras have been replaced by high-tech digital cameras and smartphones, and even paper maps are making way for interactive apps.
Today, the animal residents not only hold special places in the hearts of many Singaporeans, they have also drawn crowds from all over the world. During the Jubilee Weekend, visitors can expect some wild antics from the animals as they pay tribute to the nation:
– In Jurong Bird Park, Sassy the sulphur-crested cockatoo will fly the Singapore flag high while Amigo the yellow-naped Amazon parrot will sing ‘Happy Birthday’ in the High Flyers Show.
– In Singapore Zoo, the largest residents of the park have perfected the art of flag-raising in the Elephants at Work and Play show, and the sea lions are ready for a little SG50 surprise in the Splash Safari show.
As a treat for local residents, month-long admission discounts are available in August, in addition to the ongoing SG50 promotion for Feather Friends membership at Jurong Bird Park. Local residents enjoy 50% discount on admission at Jurong Bird Park, as well as 50% discount on same-day bundled tickets to River Safari and Singapore Zoo.
During the Jubilee Weekend from 7 to 10 August, visitors to Jurong Bird Park, River Safari and Singapore Zoo can also get their hands on a free limited edition SG50 animal-themed tote bag while stocks last.
