Aside from a luxurious and a grandiose stay in a star rated yet affordable hotel in Singapore, let us treat our kids by bringing them to one of the best destinations and must see attractions of Singapore and one of it is the Singapore Zoo. The Singapore Zoo is the most advanced zoo all over Southeast Asia and is child-friendly, thus safe to your kids.

The Singapore Zoo is the home to almost 4,000 animals like the orangutans, white tigers, kangaroos, elephants, baboons, boas, polar bears, New World monkeys, and a lot more.
What the Singapore Zoo made unique with the other zoo around is its having a concept of an open zoo. Cages are almost invisible to the eyes of the zoo goers. One great example of it is the deep moats surrounding the bigger land animals that are concealed by vegetation. Another one is the glass enclosures that kept the expert climbers animals like the jaguars and the snakes. In this way of zoo keeping, visitors can freely observe their favorite animals or even take pictures on it without the distraction of the traditional cage bars.
Another one great thing that a visitor can do in Singapore Zoo is their freedom to participate in feeding some of the species inside the zoo that will surely create a wonderful experience to both the visitors and the animals alike.
