Sneak peeks of Rainforest Wild Asia’s one-of-a-kind forest-themed experiences got underway today. Over the next three weeks, a diverse group of visitors – from the Friends of Wildlife community to educators and beneficiary groups – will take to Singapore’s fifth zoological park at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve as part of a preview, in the lead-up to its official public opening on 12 March 2025. Tickets for the new wildlife park go on sale today.

“There are three unique dimensions to Rainforest Wild Asia. First, we are presenting highly immersive flexible habitats featuring key Southeast Asia species. We live in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions, but many of the region’s species are under threat due to the loss of wild habitats and the negative impact of pollution.  With the belief that you can’t protect what you don’t know, we want to raise awareness about the region’s incredible wildlife species by shining a spotlight on them in this park,” said Mike Barclay, Group CEO of Mandai Wildlife Group. “Second, we encourage our guests to experience a rainforest up in the tree canopy, down on the forest floor and below the ground through a stunningly re-produced cave chambers that have been inspired by the Mulu Caves in Sarawak. And third, we encourage visitors to tailor their own adventurous outing in Rainforest Wild Asia, from guided offerings for adrenaline seekers to exciting forest treks, or the extensive network of universally designed elevated walkways that cater to people with diverse mobility needs.” 

Our partners include AIA Singapore whose commitment to customer and community engagement, wildlife conservation, and healthier living comes to life through its sponsorship of the Malayan tapir habitat at Rainforest Wild Asia. They are also the naming sponsor of AIA Vitality Bounce – a nature-immersive, high-element net playground that encourages fun and dynamic play for visitors of all ages while fostering mental wellness.

To celebrate the upcoming opening, local residents can enjoy a special admission rate of $33 for adults, $21 for children (aged 3 to 12 years old) for Rainforest Wild Asia from 12 February to 31 March 2025. Sign up for WildPass, a free digital membership, to enjoy benefits from discounts on online admission ticket purchases, retail and F&B outlets or purchase a Friends of Rainforest Wild Asia or Friends of Mandai membership for unlimited annual visits to Rainforest Wild Asia or all of Singapore’s wildlife parks.
