Singapore Zoo ticket price for tourists (non-residents): S$49 for an adult and S$34 for a child aged 3 to 12, according to Mandai Wildlife Group’s official Singapore Zoo ticket page. Children under 3 enter free with a ticketed adult aged 21 or over. Prices are in Singapore dollars and include 9% GST. The complimentary tram is included. At the ECB reference rate of 28 October 2026 (S$1 ≈ ₹74.27), S$49 is about ₹3,640 and S$34 about ₹2,530, before any card or agent fees.
The zoo is open daily, 8:30am to 6:00pm, with last entry at 5:00pm. If you also want the Night Safari, Bird Paradise or River Wonders, Mandai sells multi-park Destination Passes (the bundles many people still search for as “park hopper” tickets): 2 attractions in one day for S$98 adult / S$70 child, or 6 attractions in one day for S$128 / S$100.
Last checked: 29 October 2026, on the official Mandai website (mandai.com). Where official pages differ, both figures are shown. This guide is not based on a personal visit.

About seniors: Mandai’s non-resident table shows only Adult and Child. The S$25 senior rate (ages 60 and above) appears in the Singapore residents table. A third-party guide (MoneyBees, October 2026) states that non-resident seniors pay the S$49 adult price. Mandai does not state the non-resident senior rule in words, so check at checkout if this matters to you.
What the ticket includes
- One-day entry to Singapore Zoo on your chosen date.
- The complimentary tram. Mandai states that the tram/shuttle service is included in admission for Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and Bird Paradise. The zoo’s visitor guide says rides are unlimited. Last trams: Station 1 at 5:30pm, Station 2 at 6:05pm, Station 3 at 6:10pm and Station 4 at 6:15pm.
- Mandai Gallery. Mandai says every admission or bundle ticket comes with complimentary access to the Mandai Gallery.
- Animal presentations and keeper talks run on a daily schedule (see the Mandai app or site). Paid extras such as animal feeding sessions, Breakfast in the Wild, backstage tours and wagon rental (S$18) cost extra.
Singapore Zoo + Night Safari and other “park hopper” bundles
Mandai now calls its multi-park tickets Destination Passes. These are the official tourist (non-resident) passes on the multi-attraction page:
| Pass | What it covers | Adult | Child (3–12) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Attractions Destination Pass (1-Day) | Any 2 of: Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, Night Safari, Rainforest Wild Adventure, Exploria | S$98 (≈ ₹7,280) | S$70 (≈ ₹5,200) |
| 6 Attractions Destination Pass (1-Day) | All six above, on one day | S$128 (≈ ₹9,510) | S$100 (≈ ₹7,430) |
| 6 Attractions Destination Pass (5-Day) | All six above, within 5 days | S$168 (≈ ₹12,480) | S$120 (≈ ₹8,910) |
Which one to buy for a one-day visit?
These are our own sums from the official non-resident prices above (adult):
- Zoo only: the single ticket at S$49 is the cheapest.
- Zoo by day + Night Safari in the evening: separate tickets cost S$49 + S$58 = S$107. The 2 Attractions pass costs S$98, so you save S$9 per adult (child: S$34 + S$41 = S$75 vs S$70). This is the most common combination, because the zoo closes at 6:00pm and the Night Safari opens at 6:00pm in the same Mandai Wildlife EAST area.
- Zoo + Bird Paradise: S$49 + S$49 = S$98, the same as the 2 Attractions pass. There is no saving.
- Zoo + River Wonders: S$49 + S$45 = S$94, which is less than the S$98 pass. Buy single tickets.
- Three or more parks in one day (for example Zoo + River Wonders + Night Safari = S$152 in single tickets): the 6 Attractions 1-Day pass at S$128 is cheaper. With more than one full day, the 5-Day pass (S$168) gives you time to see them properly.
Night Safari: hours and time slots (bundle visitors)
Per Mandai, the Night Safari is open daily, 6:00pm to 12:00am (last entry 11:15pm), and the walking trails and Safari Adventure Tram start at 7:00pm. A single Night Safari ticket for a tourist is S$58 adult / S$41 child. Mandai’s announcements page says that from 1 July 2026, Destination Pass holders do not need to book a Night Safari time slot, while single-attraction ticket holders and members still must.
