Mandai Rainforest Wild Adventure - East and West
ABBATips:
- Wear Covered Shoes. The East side did have shoes for those who didn't but the West side did not. Many of the activities require covered shoes.
- Expectations vs reality. The Mandai Rainforest Wild Adventure is more off jungle trail hiking, thrilling outdoor activities and 'chance' encounters with animals. About a 50-50 balance mix of everything. The routes encourage exploration for those seeking a more adventurous off trail route or the 
- Lots of IG worthy spots and now they've set up Photo spot stands for easy photo taking.
- Tickets grant you entry and activities to both sides of the park with a free internal shuttle (Still to come) within both parks. Weekdays gets you 5Activities per pax while weekend 3Activities. Three is plenty and can fill up a good half of the day once you add in looking for animals and some leisurely hiking in the beautifully curated landscape.
West Side
(First to open)
(I'd say an equal balance of animals, walking trails and variety of high energy activities to do.)
*Visited 01Jan26

*One of their signature attractions where you get to scale the side of the rocks to see the animals as they watch you. Now you can do the activity at no additional charge.*

*Another Star attraction here.*
*Plenty of trails and changing environments. For those who really enjoy walking in and around nature. There are also elevated routes for ease of accesibility.*


*The cave at Mandai’s Rainforest Wild Adventure is modelled after the Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo — a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its enormous limestone cave*

East Side
(Smaller than the West side and not as much animal enclosures
as compared to the West Side)
Visited 04Oct26
*The Okapi is the star here which its closest living relative being the giraffe.*

*Just as beautiful landscapes in this newly open wing. A little smaller and not as many varety of animals over here as compared to the West Side.*
*The various activities that we could do with the revamped ticketing. Weekday allows up to 5 activities across East and West side.*
A shift in what a conventional zoo maybe, which incorporates a more natural approach where one is able to 'hike' in the curated paths and chance upon these animals up-close. You still can spot them and there are a sprinkling of fun exhilarating activities for the pure outdoor types. Fun for all and a variety for all ages. Food options are plenty and serving OWA coffee which supports local coffee farmers in Java and contributes to conservation efforts.

Singapore Mandai Boardwalk (Free to Explore)

Singapore Airforce Museum
Free for citizens to enter. SGD8 for adult tourist/visitors


The newly revamped Singapore Airforce Museum is a two story experience, with a decent amount of static displays and a quite a fair amount of interactive gameplay activities on the second floor. The star to me was the light and sound show on the second floor which was a thrill. 

*Augmented Reality pics and amazing show on the 2nd Floor.*
A nice variety of static displays on the outside and the inside. Unfortunately pretty much all of them are locked up and you can't get inside. There's a short seven min film on the ground floor and a fantastic aircraft model shop with really decent prices that's way cheaper than that often seen at the Airshows.
Great for aviation enthusiast or a pseudo indoor activity. Lots of details plagues to give you details on the
