The Night Safari Story
In 1987, the then Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Goh Chok Tong, enjoyed a night tour at the zoo so much that he brought up the idea of having regular night tours. The idea was being explored as many tropical animals are nocturnal. Thus, showcasing their behaviour in the jungle at night would allow people to experience being part of the wildlife.

The concept was brought to real life in 1989, where visitors embarked on a tram journey and drove through habitats. Moats were used as habitat barrels and the lighting provided mimicked moonlight. This led to the opening of the Night Safari in 1994 and it continues to run till now, welcoming over a million of visitors each year.
