Mandai Wildlife West to Open on 8 May 2023
After Jurong Bird Park’s closure, we’ve been impatiently anticipating its reopening in Mandai with a new name – and now we have an opening date! Jurong Bird Park is now Bird Paradise, and will open for its soft launch on 8 May 2023! Look forward to visiting some of the world’s most threatened species, plus the world’s largest population of Hornbills under human care, many of them flying free in some of the eight large walk-through aviaries. Mandai Wildlife West (the main arrival area for visitors and the upcoming Rainforest Wild) will offer two anchor play areas for kids inspired by a native Singapore species. The Pangolin Adventure and Pangolin Hideout playgrounds will encourage kids to mimic the behaviour of the mammal with movements like climbing, burrowing and sliding!
