A Recommended Zoo Itinerarythat will Make your Zoo Tour RewardingThe following zoo itinerary was drafted out after several visits to the Zoo. I have improved it over time and included lots of pictures and video clips I have taken at the Zoo. By going throught the itinerary, you would have a good preview of the Zoo and a clear picture of what to expect when you visiting the Zoo. 9 - 9.15am Head left to Treetops Trail to spot Siamang above of you and False Ghavial beneath you. 9.15 -9.45am Follow Tiger Trek to see White Tiger. Don't miss Gibbon, which is not far away from the White Tiger habitat. Catch the White Tiger swimming and moving around early in the morning. If you come and see them in the afternoon under the hot sun, they are likely sitting still under the shade. Gibbon is another animal which is very active in the morning. You will hear them screaming and jumping about and perform all kinds of tricks under the rope.   View video clips of White Tiger and Gibbon in action. 9.45 - 10.30am Polar Bear feeding time at 10.05am. Be there 10 minutes before the feeding time, otherwise you may not be able to get a seat.

Be there 10-15 minutes before the show on weekdays and at least 20 minutes before the show on weekends and public holidays. Otherwise you won't be able to get a seat as this theatre is much smaller than the Shaw Foundation Amphitheatre. View the Splash Safari Show Video clips here. 3 - 4.30pm Rainforest Kidzworld. Remember to bring swimwear for your kids. Walk or take a tram from station 3 to station 2. Skip Fragile Forest and extend to 5.30pm if your kids need more time for Kidzworld. You may want to change your zoo itinerary to replace the Kidzworld with Elephant at Work and Play Show at 3.30pm at Elephants of Asia if the playground isn't right for you.
