TVT Supercharged July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 oh .. so its not a routine tour ...I thot its something like those transformers ride in sentosa where you just sit on the boat and then sail through the sights. so we can actually walk around to all the sights instead of taking the boat is it ? is the place very open or covered (shady) ? You can skip the boat ride, it is not a routine tour.....and it is not compulsory. Majority of the place is sheltered. Only a few parts aren't - eg the small monkey enclosure. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat ride, u just sit and look at the exhibits. These exhibits not available for viewing if you walk only. Look at the youtube video of my boat ride. The rest of the exhibits, must walk to view. 80% of the exhibits are these type, viewing different fishes in the aquarium, mostly freshwater variety. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0h5eggSuQw Edited July 22, 2014 by Adrianli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I averagely spent $6 for family in an animal resort which we can feed geese, fish, horse, chickens, ducks, rabbits. Besides the ones which can feed, they also have parrots, stork, dogs, peacocks (there also 2 white peakcocks). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ysc3 Twincharged August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 my malaysian colleague just asked me : is the Singapore Zoo the same as the River Safari ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 my malaysian colleague just asked me : is the Singapore Zoo the same as the River Safari ? Different. Singapore Zoo does not have the variety of aquarium River Safari has. River Safari is more for freshwater fish lovers. If u love Jeremy Wade and his River Monsters tv shows, u will love River Safari. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Wade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be local visiting no doubt about that After viewing the boat ride video that a bro posted It looks like the boat ride in hk Disney??? And here there are the zoo, night safari n river Safari collecting individual cover fee?? Eg like in oz, local pays 20$ for maybe a sea world, tourist pay like 40$. I would pay 40 as I'm on holiday but I support their authorities that they charges the local at 20$ . The feel is there Anyway thanks I'm just grumbling haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dun feel at home Take it as an outing n educational trip for your kid, and its local based (no need to pack, no need hassle to cross the border), then you won't feel so bad..... Such local tourist attractions like Zoo, etc - we locals don't go all the time, maybe once every 5/10 years, so actually its not too bad also.....
