2. Watch the Creatures of the Night Presentation
One of the main highlights of the Night Safari is the highly popular Creatures of the Night Presentation, which has three shows - 7.30pm, 8.30pm and 9.30pm.
#KlookTip: We highly recommend coming early and getting to your seat before the presentation starts. You can book your seat online here. Seat bookings for the presentation can be made from 2 hours before each presentation. Please do not book a presentation seat that is earlier than your admission time.
We won’t spoil too much, but you can expect spectacular performances from nocturnal creatures and wildlife ambassadors such as the Asian small-clawed otters and fennec fox.
3. Explore the park on the Night Safari Tram Ride
To get a taste of the entire Night Safari, hop aboard the complimentary Night Safari Tram! Explore the park in comfort and learn about the different animals with the accompanying audio commentary. Guests in wheelchairs are welcome, as some trams have special slots for wheelchairs.
4. Traverse the different Trails on Foot
There are four different foot trails you can take to explore Night Safari fully. If you’d like to explore the whole park on foot, we recommend starting at the Fishing Cat Trail and ending at the Tasmanian Devil Trail.
Fishing Cat Trail
Simulating a trek in the wild, this trail features skilled hunters like the fishing cat as well as specialised 'oddballs' like the giant anteater. You can also spot animals like the Southern three-banded armadillos and binturongs.
Leopard Trail
Say hello to the Asiatic Lion at Lion Lookout, and get to spot the Clouded Leopard on the Leopard Trail! This trail also takes you through two spectacular walk-through exhibits for up-close encounters with furry creatures of the skies: flying foxes and civets.
East Lodge Trail
Travel to the crossroads of Africa and Asia, where the animals of the savannah and the tropics live side by side. Here you will find the Babirusa, Aadvark, Bongo, Red River Hog, and more!
Tasmanian Devil Trail
This trail takes you to explore the nocturnal wildlife of Oceania — namely, Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Here is where you’ll find the elusive and feisty Tasmanian devils. See if you can also spot the adorable wallabies that roam freely here.
5. Grab a Bite to Eat at Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant
If you’re feeling peckish, grab dinner at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant which sells everything from local delights to beverages and desserts. They open from 6pm to 11pm daily. There's also Häagen-Dazs at the Entrance Plaza if you're hankering for a delicious sweet treat!
6. Snag a Souvenir at the Gift Shop
What's a memorable night out without stopping by the gift shop to get yourself a cute souvenir? At the Night Safari Shop, you’ll find cute plushies of the nocturnal animals found within the Night Safari, and there are also plenty of food souvenirs to pick up as well.
