Rediscover Asia’s first and only river-themed wildlife park with an explorer bingo,

camping experience and more

The festivities at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve go on after the Lunar New Year, as River Wonders marks ten-sational years of captivating guests with the diverse wildlife of freshwater habitats. From 28 February to 14 April 2024, guests can experience an array of special activities as they meander through the wildlife park.

Start your adventure by picking up a River Wonders Explorer Bingo sheet at the park entrance and check off the squares as you learn fun facts about the park and its residents. As a member of global zoo associations, did you know that River Wonders participates in a manatee exchange programme which ensures healthy and sustainable populations of the species under human care? The park also spotlights the intricacies of the ecosystems in our natural world, shedding light on the fascinating behaviours of land animals like the jaguar which are often observed hunting along the river’s edge. Complete at least one row of the bingo grid to redeem a pin as a memento.

No visit is complete without hearing from our friendly keepers. Besides the mainstay River Feeding Trail Keeper Talk, River Wonders is introducing two new sessions — the Mekong Giant Catfish and Wild Amazonia Trail Keeper Talks. Available for a limited time, guests can immerse themselves in the unique insights and stories about incredible creatures like the Mekong giant catfish, white-lipped tamarin and silver arowana. Make the most out of your day by checking off all three engaging sessions which are timed one after another!

The exploration takes on a different dimension with Ranger Buddies Quest, a new addition to River Wonders. Ranger Buddies Quest is part of the Ranger Buddies edutainment programme aimed at nurturing every child to become a future-ready and responsible global citizen. Equipped with smart binoculars and a companion app, children can set out on two missions to visit outposts around River Wonders and complete activities. Through the interactive missions, gain a better appreciation of how various animals adapt to river ecosystems and their unique ways of communication. This comes after Ranger Buddies Quest first launched in Singapore Zoo.

Those who prefer to take it easy may extend their visit with an exclusive overnight camping experience. At the River Wonders Ten(t) Retreat, look forward to guided tours of the Amazon Flooded Forest with an arapaima feeding demonstration. You will also have time to roam the park on your own before a hearty buffet at Night Safari. Wind down for the night by pitching your tent and taking in the enchanting Amazon Flooded Forest with fascinating stories shared by the guides.
