Award-winning zoo has very few fences, using natural boundaries and breakers to corral the animals instead. Gives a real feeling of being among the animals instead of peering through bars. Watch out in the butterfly house if you don't like insects landing on you!
Also, try Jurong Bird Park - exotic and beautiful

Easiest way to get there is to take a taxi - plentiful and cheap from downtown or anywhere, really!

Not usually a fan of zoos but this is definitely the nicest one I have seen. The 2000 animals are mostly kept in natural conditions, with moats rather than bars and cages. The night safari is a highlight, allowing you to see nocturnal animals as well as the others who haven't yet gone to bed!

MRT to Ang Kio station then bus number 138. Cost S$10.30.

Bukit Timah is the only area of primary rainforest left in Singapore. It has jungle treks and nature trails - including one to the highest point in Singapore. Explore the trails off the main summit road to see the amazing flora and fauna including macaques, flying lemurs and pythons. Just keep your belongings hidden away as the macaques are very adept at stealing anything they can get their hands on!

Bus 171 or 182 from Orchard or Stamford Road.

Like a zoo, but just for birds. Centre piece is a re-entrant valley up into the hill with a net high above the tree canopy so all the birds fly around 'free'. Worth the visit.
