There are so many things you can do in Singapore as a tourist and the zoo is usually in the top 5. Yet it took us nearly two years to get there. We always wanted to do the zoo with visitors and let's face it, we don't get so many visitors in Singapore (the place is kind of far away) and not everyone is interested in a zoo (I wonder why).
The Singapore zoo is actually a really nice zoo. It's designed in a way that it feels like walking in the "jungle" and suddenly you discover lions, elephants, monkeys and other creatures peacefully enjoying themselves. No cage. At least no visible ones. I thought we would spend 3-4 hours there and I was wrong. We spent most of the day and have not seen everything.
Here is a collection of pictures I took. I did not take so many because taking pictures while carrying Oskar is a bit of a sport. His little hands are super fast at grabbing anything especially a camera. Net in many occasions, I had one setting and I took lots of pictures hoping that one of them would be good. Sometimes the animal was not fully framed. Sometimes it moved. Sometimes it was too far or too close. Sometimes it was in the picture and still. One can get lucky sometimes. See for yourselves.
The elephants:
The orang utans:
The giant turtles:
The white tiger:
The giraffes:
The zebras:
The otters:
The lions:
It took us almost two years to get there and it was totally worth it. I can see ourselves getting annual passes so we can go spend a few hours at a time and let Oskar discover the "wild".
