Mandai Wildlife Reserve just announced the opening of Singapore’s fifth wildlife park next year. Rainforest Wild Asia will be the first adventure-based zoological park in Asia when it opens in March 2025. Here’s what we know about the new wildlife park:
Rainforest Wild Asia
The unique adventure-based zoological park, spanning 13 hectares, will offer visitors an immersive experience inspired by treks through Southeast Asian rainforests. It will feature 10 diverse zones and 29 animal species including the likes of sun bears and Malayan tigers. With a range of paths to explore, visitors can embark on journeys of discovery to seek out wildlife and marvel at the wonders of an Asian rainforest. Meanwhile, it will be accessible from Mandai Wildlife West.
The main highlight of the scenic park is the adventure-based design which allows guests to select their level of exploration. From guided climbing tours to Forest Floor and Rock Cascade, to family-friendly and wheelchair accessible walkways, scrambling paths, walk-in caves inspired by world-famous Mulu Caves, and more…it’s the ultimate place to feel close to nature and observe animals in a safe environment.
The largest animal habitat in Rainforest Wild Asia is home to majestic Malayan Tigers. Additionally, different animals, such as red dholes and new-to-Singapore endangered species like the Philippine spotted deer, are also in the park – where nearly 7,000 Southeast Asian trees and shrubs have been planted.
In fact, Rainforest Wild Asia is just the first phase of a larger project at Mandai Wildlife Reserve. The next phase, Rainforest Wild Africa, takes inspiration from regions in Africa and Madagascar. Certainly, this interactive rainforest in Singapore will be one of the best new wildlife attractions.
