Jurong Bird Park is the only zoo of Wildlife Reserves Singapore that is not located at the Mandai Lake Road Singapore. Travel time from Sheraton Towers SG is 95 min by bus SGD1.76, 75 min by train + bus SGD1.91 and 26 to 30 minutes by taxi SGD20 +. Seventy-five minutes is really long and we need to wake up early just to be there before 10AM so I decided that we will take taxi instead.
We left at 9:05AM, may tumatanggi din pala na taxi driver sa Singapore. Naka-2 taxi din kami bago may pumayag na ihatid kami sa Jurong Bird Park. The rate of taxi depends on the time of your travel, when I checked gothere.sg, the rate is close to SGD25 but when we reached Jurong Bird Park, I just paid SGD20+.
And because we took taxi, we’re so early for the King of the Skies Show. Kami talaga nauna na dumating sa Hawk Arena. Hehehe! Click here for the video.
Nice to see the different birds, they are really big.
After the show, we went to the Penguin Coast for Penguin Encounter. My son enjoyed the penguin feeding for SGD2. Click here for the video
We enjoyed watching Happy Feet movie so we’re so delighted seeing the penguins up close and personal, there are five species at the Penguin Coast.
Then after that, we went to the next show which is High Flyers Show at Pools Amphitheatre. Click here for video
There are only two shows in Jurong Bird Park so do not miss it because this is your chance to take pictures of the birds up close. If you missed the show, you can still see the birds but some birds are inside the cage, so you cannot take a good photo of it.
We started exploring the different attractions such as Wing Asia, Bird Discovery Center, Junge Jewels, Birds of Prey, Window of Paradise, Hornbill & Toucans, Royal Ramble, Wetlands, Heliconia Walk and Lory Loft.
You can experience bird feeding for a fee at Lory Loft but I did not pay for this since we already experienced bird feeding at Residence Inn Zoo and Zoobic Safari in the Philippines.
We rode tram to reach Waterfall Station, SGD5 adult and SGD3 child but since we bought the Park Hopper Plus Tickets, we have unlimited tram ride. There is man-made waterfall where 600-free flying birds are there. Yes, free-flying birds so it is really hard to eat here because the birds go to your table.
We explored Waterfall Aviary, Dinosaur Descendants, Parrot Paradise, Swan Lake and Pelican Cove.
We waited for the Pelican Chit-Chat and paid SGD2 for Pelican Feeding. Remeber the Finding Nemo movie, pelican helped nemo to go inside the dentist clinic. Click here for the video.
Before we left the Waterfall Station, we went to the Bird Feeding at Waterfall Aviary.
Then we rode tram back to the Main Station. There is Wet Play Area at Birdz of Play but we did not visit it anymore since we wanted to finish everything on the map.
We visited the Flamingo Pool, Saddlebill, Riverine and last stop is World of Darkness. We've seen flamingo in other zoos pero mas madami dito sa Jurong Bird Park.
The Jurong Bird Park is not that big compared to Singapore Zoo so we’re done at 3PM. Our favorite here are the two shows, peguin feeding and pelican feeding.
We went to the bus stop because this time, we’re going to ride bus + train. 75 minutes travel time to hotel.
Directions:
1. Walk to the bus stop at Opposire Jurong Bird Park (22019), Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim.
2. Board Bus 194. Alight at Boon Lay Ineterchange, Jurong West Central 3, 1 stop later.

We have visited Jurong Park before and my boys had a lot a fun watching the King of the Skies show. It was worth the 40+minutes can ride from the city center.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the show too, buti na ang at di ako nagkuripot. Nagtaxi na rin kami so we will not missed it, but good thing less than 30 minutes lang biyahe namin. :)
DeleteYay! I envy you mommy Michi you have a lot of time to travel. :) This is again another fun adventure with your family. ♥
ReplyDeleteThat is one advantage of stay-at-home mom, I have more time. No need for vacation leave, budget lang ang limited. hehehe!
DeleteMy children would definitely love to visit this bird zoo. These creatures are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis place is amazing! We didnt get the chance to visit this last time we are in singapore. Kids are not with us too, and id thought of visiting it once they are travelling with us..
ReplyDeleteYes, much better if you bring your kids. :)
DeleteWow, Jurong Bird Park is a place to visit in Singapore specially if you're travelling with the kids! I love that they have bird shows pa. Sana mapuntahan rin namin yan someday. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bird park is really nice because there are so many species that you cannot see here in the PH. Don't miss the shows if ever you will visit. :)
DeleteSG is really nice, no? And the photos you took are lovely, sis! :D Oh, how I wish we could visit SG someday. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, SG is nice because even it is a small country, there are so many attractions. :)
DeleteLots of birds. Will put this in the bucket list. We're travelling to SG next year and hopefully we can drop by here.
ReplyDeleteHappy traveling and enjoy SG!
DeleteOh my! My little bunny girl would love this. Maybe we can schedule a trip to SG a year after next. SG is nice naman for family trips right? Ilang days would you suggest? :)
ReplyDeleteI think one week, we tried 2, 3 and 5 days pero bitin. hehehe!
DeleteFlamingos!!! So majestic. We missed our tour bus going to Jurong Park before so we haven't been there. My animal-loving daughter will enjoy this!
ReplyDeleteAww, sayang. I'm sure your daughter will enjoy the birds. Maybe next time. :)
DeleteI should include this in our next itinerary for Singapore. Been to Singapore a couple of times but haven't had the chance to visit this bird park.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many attractions in SG so you really need to revisit just to cover everything. :)
DeleteThose shows sound so awesome! We love birds! I've only gone to one local bird show and would love to witness more.
ReplyDeleteYes, the shows are good and much better because they have more birds than our local show here. :)
DeleteWow! Such a lovely place to visit and spend a day with lovely birds
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to take kids! Super fun and educational too. The penguins are super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they are really cute. :)
DeleteOh I miss SG, hindi namin to napuntahan. Now we have a reason to go back :)
ReplyDeleteYes, go back and visit the bird park.
DeletePopy would love this! We're thinking of ttraveling somewhere on asia next year for popy's birthday. Sana we can go here. It looks very educational. :) my kind of trip.
ReplyDeleteYes, the zoos are very educational, just in time for my son's lesson in Science. :)
DeleteThe place looks amazing! much like the bird show in Zoobic though mas bongga since they have penguins and flamingos haha. Would love to visit with the kids someday :)
ReplyDeleteYes, mas bongga ang mga birds na nagparade. Sa Zoobic, ostrich, duck, chicken at gansa ang nagparade. Hehehe!
DeleteAaaww.. Ang saya! :) Another on my bucketlist.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish we visited this place the last time we were in Singapore. We opted to go to Night Safari instead of visiting this zoo.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can visit next time. We did Jurong Bird Park and Night Safari in one day. :)
DeleteWoah! 5000? That's quite uhm, too many? And Penguins! We also love them and hope let my son see one in person soon.
ReplyDeleteTrue, so many birds that I can't memorize the names and species. I only remembered my favorites. :)
DeleteSingapore really has a lot of interesting places to offer not just for kids. Also, it is near Manila lang and it doesn't really cost an arm and a leg.
ReplyDeleteYes, There are so many airlines that fly to SG too and they have seat sales too. :)
DeleteThey are indeed big birds. Would love to visit that as well when the boys and I travel to Singapore. Surely, its a travel minus my mom because she has no patience walking around a zoo. But she loves walking miles just to shop.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! She prefers malls because it is air conditioned so it is more relaxing than zoos.
DeleteI'd include this in my itinerary the next time I have a chance to bring the kids to Singapore again. I'm sure they would enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool experience! I'd love to see a flock of flamingos! Looks like you had a whole lot of fun visiting the place.
ReplyDeleteActually, there are flamingos in other zoos of WRS but Jurong Bird Park has a flock of flamingos so mas ok magpicture. :)
Deletethis reminds me of Ark Avilon, not the one in Pasig, but the one in Antipolo ata yun? Yung malaki.
ReplyDeleteNatawa naman ako sa tumatanggi na taxi, but really, nakakagulat nga.
Avilon Zoo in Montalban, Rizal. Yes, may bird show din dun and pwede papicture sa birds. :) Tama, nagulat din ako na may tumatanggi. Hehehe!
DeleteSo many interesting spots. And those are big birds! Ang cute din ng mga flaminogs!
ReplyDeleteWent here before also. I hope to bring my kids next time. It would be one fun field trip!
ReplyDeleteSo many birds in one place! I will make a mental note of this park so we can visit it when we go to Singapore.
ReplyDeleteSuper nice! I love the photos of the birds. I like to see them too. I like he pelican feeding! :)
ReplyDeleteGrabe, ang ganda nman ng park na ito. I'd definitely recheck your blog again when we plan to Singapore soon.
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of working at SG and it's really good to know that they have places like this that we can visit. Nice pics btw! :)
