Tips on Enjoying the Park
Here are some tips for a more memorable experience at the Jurong Bird Park
Protect those peepers! Sensitive to sunlight? We recommend that you bring sunshades, sunglasses or visors to keep the glare away. Better yet, soothe on some sunblock for added skin protection.
Rain, rain, go away! The rain sometimes makes an unexpected appearance. Having an umbrella or raincoat handy will ensure you remain dry should this happen. Many parts of the bird park are sheltered though, and you'll still be able to enjoy excellent views of the birds from there.
Mozzie alert? Although the bird park does take preventive measures to keep the mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies at bay, you might want to consider bringing some insect repellant to make sure they stay away! The bird park is after all situated in a secondary rainforest and many birds treat this as a haven.
Take your time! There's always something happening at the bird park. Allow at least half a day to enjoy what's available, but a full day would be even better.
Make sure you pick up a map as you enter so you won't miss out on the many presentations, token feeding sessions, keeper talks, rides and photography opportunities that happen during the day.
Feet first! Taking a leisurely stroll is the ideal way to enjoy everything the bird park has to offer. Comfortable footwear will ensure you get to explore the park endlessly minus sore and tired feet.
Tired of walking? Then hop onto a panorail to rest your soles. Or take a break at one of the shelters while you get your wind back. Many of our exhibits also have viewing galleries that allow you to observe the birds comfortably.
Wheels galore! We realise long walks might be taxing for little feet. Parents can rent strollers and wagons for their children. Wheelchairs are also available for those who need it.
Stay hydrated! As the weather in Singapore tends to be hot and humid year-round, do remember to bring enough drinking water, and keep drinking throughout the day. An ample supply is on sale at our numerous F&B outlets and vending machines if you happen to run out.
Munch time! Our food outlets serve a variety of cuisines to tickle every tastebud:
- Terrace Kiosk – Serves finger food as well as local rice and noodle set
- Bongo Burgers – Great for kids where tempting western delights awaits
- Ben and Jerry’s Kiosk – Yummy flavours of ice cream to cool you down after a hot day at bird park
Remember though, to savour the food for yourselves and not to share with any of the birds. Their diets are well taken care of.
Service with a smile If in doubt at any time, do approach any of our guest relations officers, or any of our staff in fact. They will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
Repeat, please. Remember to visit the bird park often. New and exciting things are always waiting to be discovered. See you again soon!
