“Birds by the hundred”

Jurong Bird Park

6/6 found this review helpful

Singapore's Jurong Bird Park is up there on my list of places I always go to when visiting Singapore.

The Bird Park is one of a linked set of three attractions including the Zoo and Night Safari. A combined ticket for all three attractions costs around 45$S per person, saving about 12$S per head.

The park has its Panorail, a suspended light railway that goes around the park stopping at three locations, which costs extra. When I use it I tend to get on at the main entrance station and ride all the way round to give a panoramic view of the park before moving on to walk around, as not everything is close to a station.

The park is laid out in a rough loop with a connection across the middle. There is a cluster of exhibits near the main entrance that are worth exploring before moving around. I then tend to go around the loop anticlockwise. Some exhibits are on side paths that you have to go off the main loop to explore properly.

Generally I will spendmost of or an entire day here, I do not think a half day allows me to really take everything in - although if pressed for time then exhibit selection and the panorail would allow a quicker visit.

Some exhibits are fully open (the Riverine and flamingo areas), some are cage based (the parrots) and some are walk through, including the major exhibits of the Waterfall aviary and the Lory Loft. These two exhibits are large walk in aviaries. The Lory loft sells dishes of food that will attract the birds close to you - they will clamber all over you so if you like looking at birds but are nervous if they do start walking all over you, be warned. In the waterfall aviary the birds tend to stay further away and you will need to move slowly round the jungle landscaped paths to avoid spooking them. The Aviary also includes the man made waterfall which is spectacularly well done.

There are large number of rain shelters and drink vending machines around the bird park, and making use of them is a very good idea. A rainier day, with multiple showers as opposed to continuous rain, does not spoil the park for me as I find it easier to walk round on a cooler day and there are a number of exhibits that provide cover as well as the shelters. A number of places sell snacks as well.

There are a number of shows and feeding times around the park. Be sure to decide if you wish to see any, as some are repeated in a day and some are not. A few to note - there two bird of prey shows in the day but they each display different sets of birds, the South East Asian birds aviary simulates a thunderstorm at midday each day and the kids parrot show only runs once a day.

I would say is most spectacular feeding for me is the Bee-eater/Starling feeding in the waterfall aviary. Get there before the feed time and find the correct area to wait (ask for directions within the aviary). The area is quiet jungle until the food arrives and then birds flock down and surround the area, perching everywhere.

Its definitely a place to see. I tend to just get a taxi to and from the attraction, but MRT and bus links are also good.

“Wonderful Experience”

Jurong Bird Park

I have always been fascinated by birds and this was an absolute paradise for a bird lover. The best feature of all is a giant tropical aviary where the birds are free to fly but can be easily seen. Wonderful

“don't go on a rainy day!”

Jurong Bird Park

4 of 5 stars
Derbyshire, England

3/3 found this review helpful

We went to Jurong twice during our recent visit. Our first visit was 'rained off'. It is very easy to get here, MRT to Boon Lay and then bus 194. The combined fare was approx $8 for the three of us.
Entrance without the panorail ride was $35 approx for the 3 of us. We watched the birds and buddies show which was fun but perhaps a little long!

The walk in aviaries are a highlight. We all especially enjoyed the Lory Loft and the opportunity to feed the birds with little pots.

The choice of food was limited although the prices were reasonable.

A highly recommended day out for folks with or without children.

“Incredible! Do this tour!”

Jurong Bird Park

5 of 5 stars
Brisbane, Australia

4/4 found this review helpful

Incredible, incredible, incredible! My mum and I almost left this tour off our itinerary but we are SO glad we didn't! I am not an avid "bird person" or anything but the whole experience was very impressive! The grounds were beautiful, the birds (parrots) were very tame and the monorail made getting round the park super easy and the bird show was amazing.

Firstly, jump aboard the air-conditioned monorail to the first stop where you will find Toucan and my favourite, the parrots (see photos!) The parrot enclosure was almost surreal, most people go there first so we went to the Toucans first and when we went to the parrots, go the whole place to ourselves! The parrots were VERY tame letting us touch them!!

There are more stops along the monorail or you can choose to walk. You do see more but the air-conditioning was impossible to resist! At one of the stops you can choose to get out at a "station" and go on a short walk to see the waterfall... it is definately worth the walk as the area has cleverly concealed mist machines and a bridge... the atmosphere is beautiful.

After you have had a walk around / monorail ride around you can head to the amphitheatre for a bird show. Again, my mum and I weren't sure as to whether we would find it boring but it was absolutely great! I don't want to spoil all the suprises so I won't share too much, but you will see some truly amazing stunts by various types of birds, even a singing parrot! We were really impressed and at the end of the show, if you make a donation to the park (down the front, near the stage) the parrots will give you a postcard of one of the stars of the show!

Jurong bird park really was a wonderful day out, it exceeded our expectations immensly and I definately recommend a visit to anyone. Even if like myself, you are not an avid "bird lover" it really is amazing and well worth a visit! I would go again!!

“Singapore Bird Park coffee shop a great place for a break”

Jurong Bird Park

Dec 26, 2006

When you're at the Singapore Bird Park, tired and hungry and need a place to stop, rest, and have a bite to eat or a cup of coffee, head for the Australian Lory (these are colorful birds indigenous to Australia) stop. The entrance houses a little coffee shop that features Australian coffee and sandwiches, and an ice cream bar, a nice change from the curry puff stands found elsewhere in the park.
