I planned this zoo itinerary for family not only on paper, but also walked on the actual ground to be sure that the itinerary is practical and useful. You can rely on it as your navigation guide to go around the zoo.
By going through the itinerary, you would have a good preview of Singapore Zoo and a clear picture of what to expect when you visit the Zoo.
Open the below itinerary on your mobile phone and follow the steps to go to each exhibit. Use the attached photos as a reference if you are not sure of which way to go when you come to a junction.
How to use the above Zoo's navigation map? Follow the colour arrows in the following order: Pink -> Brown -> Yellow.
Enter from here to Treetops Trail.
When you come early, the monkeys are there to welcome you and your family.
Your kids could easily spot at least one of the India Gharials just under the platform.
A rare chance to see two gharials so close by. All the while I thought there are only two gharials, in fact there are three altogether.
Go this way then turn left to White Tiger exhibit
You are just a moat away from the tiger

Enter here and take a right turn to Africa Penguin.
The penguin exhibit was a huge ones in the past. It was packed with various types of cute penguins. Take a look at the below video to see how lively they are in the pool.
Backtrack to here after seeing the penguins and make a right turn to the Shaw Foundation Theatre for the show.
Among the four shows in Singapore Zoo, this is the most popular one. Personally I enjoyed this show very much. So, don't miss it while you are there.
Exit from here after the show to Keepers' Chit Chat at 11am.
Wait here for the zoo keepers.
Follow this way after the keeper's chit chat and turn right ahead to Elephants of Asia.
Enter here to the Elephants of Asia.

This way up to the tram station 2.
This way up the slope to Fragile Forest.

You will be able to find many small animals like squirrel, lemurs, mouse deers, iguana, malayan flying fox, ducks etc inside the Fragile Forest.

After exiting the Fragile Forest, walk passed the tram station to Rainforest Kidzworld.
On the way to Rainforest Kidzworld, walk on the path (not on the main road) to see the Mandrill and Chimpanzee exhibits.
Get down the staircase after the Chimpanzee exhibit, then cross the road to proceed to the Rainforest Kidzworld.
Most kids will enjoy playing in this wet playground.
Let your kid take a ride on the pony. The keeper will take good care of them.
Visitors are allowed to pluck the leaves and feed the goats.

Go straight to Malayan Sun Bear exhibit.
Not easy to spot these two bears, unless you come very early in the morning.
Free ranging Orang Utan boardwalk. View a video clip of Orang Utan in action.
Cross the road and go straight to the Gibbon exhibit.
One thing Gibbons can do better than us is that they can swing from here to there in a split seconds like nobody business. They are so proud to show off their skill as shown in the below video.
