There is one place in Singapore where you can meet majestic gharials, dangerous piranhas, playful pandas, massive manatees, gliding manta rays and naughty otters, can you guess where that is? That’s right, it is River Safari!
With its seven river zones showcasing river habitats from around the world, River Safari is quite easily one of the top family favourites for a fun day out. From lofty tanks to immersive galleries, adults and kids can learn about mysterious river life through an interactive experience like no other.
This December holidays, River Safari gives you six more exciting reasons to gather your loved ones and head down for a day of exploration and adventure.
1. Close encounters of the aquatic kind
The massive Mekong River exhibit, which is as large as four double decker buses, will take your breath away as you witness the world’s largest freshwater stingray swim by you just inches away.
Be enchanted by the Amazon Flooded Forest which draws you into the mysterious world of manatees as you walk through the world's largest freshwater aquarium exhibit.
While these two exhibits are favourites with regular visitors, this December, River Safari takes your river experience up a notch with the launch of the new Mary River exhibit!
For an amazing interactive experience, your little ones (and you) can dip your hands into the water and touch marine creatures such as sea stars and bamboo sharks. We can already hear the squeals of excitement from the little ones!
2. A Splash-tastic Deal
In case, you are umming and awing about visiting River Safari, here is an offer that will definitely convince you!
Enjoy a “splash-tastic” deal when you visit River Safari this December as you stand to enjoy a complimentary boat ride and $5 F&B voucher with every ticket purchased! (Terms and Conditions apply.)
3. Become a River Explorer
There is no child (or for that matter, there is no adult) who does not secretly harbour ambitions of being an explorer.
From 5 - 27 December, you have a chance to live out this fantasy with your little ones! Equipped with a River Explorer Passport at the entrance, little ones can complete simple activities as they navigate through the Rivers of the World.
Upon completing their passport, little explorers can claim a special gift at the River Safari Gift Shop.
