Singapore is about to get a thrilling new wildlife destination—Rainforest Wild Asia at Mandai, opening in March 2025! Managed by Mandai Wildlife Group, this 13-hectare rainforest park is Asia’s first adventure-based zoo, bringing the excitement of a jungle trek to life with 29 animal species, flexible habitats, and adventure trails for every type of explorer.
Designed for those who crave a mix of wildlife and adventure, Rainforest Wild Asia offers a choice of rugged forest trails complete with boulders, logs, and streams or elevated walkways, perfect for families and accessible to all. Nature lovers can take things to the next level with harnessed rock climbs, freefall jumps, and challenging caving tours. The park’s landscaping includes 7,000 native trees and plants, creating a lush environment that feels like a genuine rainforest escape.
The new zoo’s flexible habitats bring a unique twist to traditional enclosures, allowing animals like red dholes and babirusas to roam at different times of day. Guests will be able to catch sight of iconic species such as Malayan tigers, Javan langurs, and even rare newcomers like the Francois langur and Philippine spotted deer. Highlights include Rock Cascade, where visitors can watch Malayan tigers navigate tunnels and waterfalls, and The Canopy, with free-ranging langurs and siamangs in the treetops. For extra thrills, opt for the “Adventure Plus” experience, featuring the Canopy Jump, a 13- to 20-meter freefall that’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping!
Rainforest Wild Asia is so much more than a zoo; it’s an adventure-packed destination where kids and adults can connect with nature while exploring different landscapes and animals. The interactive habitats and variety of trails create an exciting outing that combines learning, fun, and a sense of wilderness.
Perfect for families, school groups, nature lovers, and thrill-seekers, this park offers a little something for everyone. With accessible paths and adventurous elements, Rainforest Wild Asia is a great choice for young explorers and adults alike.
The park’s 10 unique zones, including The Watering Hole and Rock Cascade, offer diverse experiences, each spotlighting different animal species and rainforest scenery. Flexible habitats let animals exhibit natural behaviors, providing a richer experience for guests. And with the next phase, Rainforest Wild Africa, coming soon, there’s plenty to look forward to at Mandai!
