Jurong Birdpark

Review

Be prepared to be captivated by some of the most beautiful birds found in the BirdPark including the flamingos, scarlet ibises, birds of paradise, the hornbills and toucans, etc., all of whom can be seen up close.

As soon as you enter into the BirdPark, the Penguin Expedition catches your attention straight away. Set in the style of a ship, you can observe the King Penguins and other penguin species on land and underwater, swimming in all gracefulness.

Walk along the Fuji Hawk Walk towards the Birds of Prey Show and you will find a close-up display of eagles, vultures and owls. The Birds of Prey Show leaves you awestruck as the magnificent predators swoop over you, almost touching your hair. Who would have thought that these kings of the skies could be trained to entertain! It is certainly one of the more memorable and interesting shows.

If you enjoy interacting with the birds, head for the Lory Loft and feed the colourful, friendly Lories. The Lory Loft is the fourth walk-in aviary of the BirdPark and the world’s largest Lory flight aviary. With an elevated boardwalk and suspension bridges, it’s also good enough just to wander around without feeding the Lories. And you can stop for a snack or a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Once at the BirdPark, a must-visit is the Waterfall Aviary. It is the world’s largest walk-in aviary and has the highest man-made waterfall that is over 30 metres high. Experience the cooling effect of the waterfall; and look for the starlings and bee-eaters nesting, feeding and bathing. If you’ve not been into a tropical rainforest, you can get a taste of it at the Waterfall Aviary.

If you have kids, do make some time for the Splash N Slide Station – a playground that has dry and wet zones without a wade pool.
