We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the festive season than being surrounded by our favourite animals! If you can relate, then a visit to Bird Paradise and Rainforest Wild ASIA is a must. Mandai Wildlife Reserve’s Festive WILD-erland has taken over both parks, where you can find festive photo points and a digital Advent Calendar, revealing daily surprises from 1 to 25 December. On the Mandai Wildlife WEST Lawn, you’ll spot the towering 8-metre-tall Tree of Life–the first-ever wildlife-themed Christmas tree adorned with animal-themed ornaments that represent the threatened species that Mandai Wildlife Group protects. From 5 December, hop aboard the Christmas trackless train at Mandai Wildlife WEST, an exciting ride the kids are sure to love!

In the day, visit the adorable penguins at Bird Paradise’s Ocean Network Express Penguin Cove to check out the Christmas lights and snowflake projections. As dusk falls, get invited to the Penguins Christmas Party Quest where kids aged up to 12 can go on a fun Christmas treasure quest happening daily at 5.30pm and walk away with a mystery gift. The Wings of the World Presentation is also taking on a yuletide spin, where Santa’s well-wishes and gifts are delivered to audiences by Sassy, the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo! Look out for other goodies such as face-painting (from $15) and festive merch and sweet treats.

At Rainforest Wild ASIA, look forward to the magical transformation of The Cavern! By day, marvel at the dazzling Aurora lights and enjoy gentle snowfall at dusk. You can also embark on Santa’s Adventure Quest to find a hidden Christmas token along the Forest Treks. Exchange it to receive an attractive prize and who knows, you may just win yourself a stay at Mandai Rainforest Resort, GoPros or other prizes worth up to $50,000 (T&Cs apply)! Other than that, don’t miss the festive enrichments where you can spot Axis deers, Malayan sun bears and tigers getting into the Christmas spirit! More info here.
