Singapore’s Rainforest Wild Asia to Open on 12 March 2025: A New Immersive Wildlife Experience

Get ready to embark on a wild adventure as Rainforest Wild Asia, Singapore’s fifth zoological park at Mandai Wildlife Reserve, officially opens to the public on 12 March 2025. Tickets are available now, so prepare to explore this one-of-a-kind rainforest-themed attraction that promises to be an unforgettable journey into Southeast Asia’s lush wilderness.

Exclusive Previews and Exciting Experiences

Before the grand opening, a select group of visitors, including Friends of Wildlife members, educators, and community groups, will get a sneak peek of the park’s unique offerings over the next three weeks. This exclusive preview sets the stage for an immersive experience, where visitors can walk through naturalistic habitats, track wildlife, and navigate trails that mimic the terrain of a Southeast Asian rainforest.

Rainforest Wild Asia offers a multi-layered exploration with paths catering to different adventure levels. Choose from easy walkways or challenge yourself on rugged forest treks that cross boulder steps, logs, and streams. Along the way, spot the elusive Malayan tiger or come face-to-face (at a safe distance) with creatures like the Malayan sun bear.

Unique Attractions and Wildlife Conservation

AIA Singapore is a key partner, bringing its commitment to wildlife conservation, community engagement, and healthier living to life through its sponsorship of the Malayan tapir habitat. They also sponsor the AIA Vitality Bounce—a high-element net playground that blends fun with mental wellness through dynamic play for all ages.

The park also features Ranger Talks at key zones, such as The Karsts, Forest Floor, and Watering Hole, offering educational insights into the rainforest’s unique fauna. Visitors can catch these informative sessions while exploring the park’s breathtaking landscapes.
