Mandai Boardwalk

The Mandai Boardwalk at Mandai Wildlife Reserve in Singapore opened to the public on January 14, 2025 and they did an excellent job with the place. We did not check out Lara Lookout. Reserved for another time. 
ABBATips:
- Go washroom before! There are NO Washrooms along the path or water top-up points along the way.
- The entire stretch is pretty much unsheltered so bear that in mind when picking a time to go.
- Plenty of wonderful lookout spots and sounds of nature along the way. No cycling or scooting on the boardwalk. 

*Long-tailed macaques*
- Certain sections do have Monkeys so keep your belongings and little one safe with you.
You can enter from either way. It's pretty clearly demarcated from the carpark area. Entrance A is to the left of the main zoo entrance whilst B is where the River Wonders Entrance is. We only did the 2700m loop which at a slow casual pace took us about 2hours, a little longer than the projected largely due to the wonderful picture taking opportunities.

A great explorative journey where if you're lucky get to spot wild life like these pictured below. If you're lucky you can spot glimpses of the Giraffes and listen to the bellowing of Lions and animals whilst walking the boardwalk. *Olive winged bulbul*

Its a wonderful addition to the park and best of all FREE Entry to all. Great for walks, hikes and increasing the traffic flow to the otherwise tickets only area of Mandai. There's new dining options which would be opening up in the near future. 
Parking is a little steep though at 7SGD for the total of 2hrs plus we were there. Subsequent hour parking at Bird Paradise (Click for full review) area was another SGD5. The exterior of Bird Paradise is free to enter with plenty of affordable dinning to be enjoyed.
