Klook Pass Singapore – Mandai Pass

If you plan to visit 2, 3, or all 4 of the Mandai Wildife Parks, namely Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, or the new Bird Paradise that opened in 2023, you’re better off purchasing the Klook Pass Singapore – Mandai Pass! Here are the details:

  • PRICE: Book here starting at $48 (vs. regular price of $51)
  • INCLUSIONS: Admission to 2, 3, or 4 of the Mandai zoos
  • BEST REVIEW: “Using this pass kept my bookings for the parks organised. You have to reserve your visit time through the Mandai website and I would recommend taking a screenshot of the confirmation it issues as it’s not the same as your initial Klook booking. The zoo is expansive and in a beautiful setting. The night safari opened about an hour after the zoo closes; it was extremely busy because most people leave the zoo and wait for entry to the night safari. It didn’t seem to matter what time you had preselected. It is a unique way to see the animals and I definitely recommend walking around the park after the tram ride. I was really impressed by the bird park despite it being in the process of moving from Jurong to join the other parks in Mandai. I don’t think I’ve visited a park quite like it!”
