Double Celebration: Rainforest Wild Asia Opens to Public and Welcomes First Animal Birth

Singapore’s newest wildlife attraction, Rainforest Wild Asia, has officially opened its doors! Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Ms. Grace Fu, officiated the grand opening of the nation’s fifth wildlife park, marking a milestone moment for nature lovers. The event kicked off with the first public visitors embarking on an immersive rainforest adventure.

Adding to the excitement, the park is celebrating the birth of a Philippine spotted deer, a species making its debut in Singapore. One of the world’s rarest deer, native to the Visayan Islands of the Philippines, this endangered species’ arrival underscores the importance of conservation efforts. Visitors can spot the mother-and-fawn duo in the Canopy zone.

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the park offers thrill-packed experiences operated by Forest Adventure. Adventure+ includes the Canopy Jump, a free-fall simulation from up to 20 meters, and the AIA Vitality Bounce, a dynamic trampoline zone suspended three meters above ground. The Black Adventure series takes it a step further with guided, harnessed tours through untouched areas of the park—scaling rock formations on Wild Apex Adventure or navigating through a simulated cave expedition on Wild Cavern Adventure.

  • As Singapore’s newest wildlife attraction, Rainforest Wild Asia, opens its doors to the public, we celebrate the beauty of nature and the connection between people and the environment. Much like JACANA Life, which embraces the natural heritage of Jamaica, Rainforest Wild Asia offers an immersive experience, showcasing the delicate balance of wildlife and conservation. Both places reflect a deep respect for nature, and we’re proud to witness the growth and preservation of the world’s most cherished ecosystems.
