Singapore Jurong Bird Park

If you are looking for a quick break from the hustle and bustle of the Singapore urban lifestyle, visit the Jurong BirdPark where 9,000 colourful birds of 600 species will amaze you with their variety, shapes and sizes.The newly revamped BirdPark offers a range of new and exciting exhibits and facilities which are truly breathtaking and worth your while.
Thinking about bird watching? Well, you will find no better place than the Singapore Jurong BirdPark.The Jurong BirdPark is easily the largest bird park found anywhere in the Asia Pacific.
There are several attractions within the BirdPark that I can recommend. One of the must-visit areas is the the Penguin Parade. Believe it or not, the managers of the park have re-created an entire Antarctic setting to house birds from that region.
The Southeast Asian Birds Aviary is also fabulous, because it features a full walk-in aviary and comes complete with simulated tropical thunderstorms. I think even the birds themselves would be fooled into thinking they were out there in nature!
Another area I like is the Waterfall Aviary. This is extremely popular with visitors, because it houses around 1,500 free-flying African birds! If you love birds, you can spend the whole day there is you want. A relatively new attraction is the Riverine, which is a simulated natural freshwater river habitat. Here, you will find up to 20 species of ducks, fish and turtles.And did I mention the bird shows? Or the flamingos, hornbills, macaws and cocktatoos? I think you should even see a hawk or two. One of the best ways to experience the park is also to board the modern panorail system and simply follow up with your own walking tour.
