I suppose it was time there was a thread on Singapore zoo as it is one of the most popular tourist attractions.
My family and I have been frequent visitors to the zoo over the past 15 years or so.
I guess some of you must have been there too so if you have any pictures of your own to add then please do so.
Firstly a bit of info that I have just copied and pasted from the zoo website

How to get there by public transport:
Here are the various options available by MRT:
- Alight at Ang Mo Kio station (NS16) and take bus service 138 from the bus interchange.
- Alight at Choa Chu Kang station (NS4-BP1) and take bus service 927 from the bus interchange.
- From Changi Airport station (EW29), board the train and alight at Tanah Merah station (EW4) to switch to the west-bound train to City Hall station (EW13-NS25), switch again to the north-bound train to Ang Mo Kio station (NS16) and take bus service 138 from the bus interchange.
- From Changi Airport station (EW29), board the train and alight at Tanah Merah station (EW4) to switch to the west-bound train to Jurong East station (EW24-NS1), switch again to the north-bound train to Choa Chu Kang station (NS4-BP1) and take bus service 927 from the bus interchange.
On Sundays and public holidays, you may also:
- Alight at Woodlands station (NS9) and take bus service 926 from the bus interchange.
- Alight at Marsiling station (NS8), cross the road (Woodlands Ave 3) and take bus service 926.
By bus:
From the City, take bus service 171 to Mandai Road. Alight at the first bus stop after the bus turns off Exit 7 of the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE). Transfer to bus service 927 or 926 (Do note that 926 only operates on Sundays and public holidays).
Or you could just take a taxi and say 'zoo please' to the taxi driver.
Feeding times and the times of the excellent shows are available on the zoo website.
The zoo itself is spread over an area of 28 hectares so you will have a fair amount of walking to do, so bear that in mind when you or your partner choose their footwear.
An umbrella would be a good idea too as 90% of the zoo is open air.
There are no restrictions on bringing your own food and drink into the zoo, but ofcourse they wont let you consume it while seated at the various food outlets tables!
There is a KFC just by the zoo entrance and another one near the kids play area.
I would think most families would have no problem spending the whole day at the zoo.
