Rainforest Wild Adventure Completes Expansion with New East Zone Opening on 20 May

Rainforest Wild Adventure at Mandai Wildlife Reserve will soft open the second phase of its park from 20 May 2026, giving visitors access to the full 20 hectares of adventure experiences and wildlife habitats inspired by the rainforests of Asia and Africa.

Billed as Asia’s first adventure-based wildlife park, the expanded attraction combines wildlife encounters with varying levels of physical activities designed for different types of visitors. The newly opened East zone adds more Adventure+ experiences, bringing the total across the park to nine.

Among the new activities are the Canopy Glider, where guests can glide through the treetops, and the Ravine Swing, which lifts riders eight metres above the ground. Visitors looking for more physically demanding experiences can take on Split Rock Summit, an 11-metre climb with panoramic views, Primate Climb for elevated views of Diana monkeys, and Treetop Traverse, a 125-metre harnessed course suspended above the forest floor.

The park’s West zone continues to offer Black Adventure experiences for thrill seekers, including guided climbs on karst rock faces and simulated cave expeditions. Wide walkways and forest trails throughout the park also cater to families with strollers and wheelchair users.

Spanning seven hectares, Rainforest Wild Adventure East draws inspiration from Afro tropical and Madagascan landscapes. One of its headline additions is the okapi, making its Southeast Asian debut. Native to the dense rainforests of the Congo in Central Africa, the endangered species is recognised for its deep brown coat and zebra-striped legs, despite being the giraffe’s closest living relative.

The park is now home to four okapis that arrived from zoos in Europe under the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria’s Ex situ Programme, which supports genetically diverse breeding populations for threatened species.

Visitors can also encounter species including pygmy hippos, eastern bongos, red river hogs and Nile lechwes. A multi species Madagascar habitat will feature lemurs, turacos and ibises. The habitats are designed to allow animals to roam naturally, with visibility and activity levels varying throughout the day.

To mark the soft opening, The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia and Mandai Wildlife Group are launching Singapore’s first National Geographic pop-up stores at the park’s East and West retail outlets. The spaces will feature National Geographic Apparel collections alongside interior displays inspired by iconic National Geographic imagery.

Rainforest Wild Adventure East will operate daily from 9am to 6pm, with last admission at 5pm. Admission tickets cover access to both East and West zones, with free shuttle services connecting the two areas. The M1 East-West shuttle links the eastern and western clusters within Mandai Wildlife Reserve, while the M2 Khatib Shuttle Bus connects visitors to Khatib MRT station every 15 to 20 minutes.

As part of the soft opening promotion, ticket holders can enjoy access to all nine Adventure+ activities on weekdays and up to five activities on weekends, with additional premium activities available for separate purchase.

WildPass holders can enjoy local resident rates at S$50 for adults, S$35 for children aged three to 12 and local students aged 25 and below, and S$25 for senior citizens. Non-residents can purchase tickets at promotional soft opening prices of S$55 for adults and S$39 for children.
