Why go
This northern route works for families and wildlife enthusiasts who prefer a focused area rather than a day of long transfers. Upper Seletar Reservoir Park gives the morning an outdoor start before the longer animal visits at Singapore Zoo and River Wonders. Keep the zoo and River Wonders as the core of the day. If adding Night Safari, finish the daytime visits with enough time for a proper meal and rest before returning for its after-dark tram and trails. This optional extension makes for a long day; check current entry arrangements for each attraction before setting out.
