Singapore does a lot of things first. The Night Safari was one of them – the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park, opened in 1994, and still the standard against which every after-dark animal experience anywhere on the planet is measured.
What started as a bold idea about showing wildlife the way it actually lives has now become one of the most visited attractions in Southeast Asia and a 13-time winner of Singapore’s Best Attraction Experience award.
If you’re spending any time in Singapore and looking for an evening that delivers something genuinely unlike anything else in the city, this is it. The Singapore Night Safari definitely deserves a place in your Singapore things-to-do list.
What Is the Singapore Night Safari?


Opened in 1994, the Singapore Night Safari is the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park and a 13-time winner of Singapore’s Best Attraction Experience award.
Set within 35 hectares of secondary jungle at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, it is home to over 1000 animals from more than 120 species – 41% of which are classified as threatened – all active and visible after dark in ways that no daytime zoo can replicate.
The experience is built around two things: the Safari Adventure Tram, which travels through six geographical zones with live commentary and is included with every standard ticket, and four interconnected walking trails that take visitors deeper into the park to encounter animals not visible from the tram.

How to Book Singapore Night Safari with Tram Ride Tickets on Thrillark
Thrillark lists Night Safari Singapore tickets clearly at the lowest available online rate, with instant confirmation to your inbox the moment payment clears. So here’s a step-by-step guide on how to book your tickets.

Step 1: Find the listing and pick your date
Open Thrillark and search for Singapore Night Safari with Tram Ride tickets. The product page shows the key inclusions, cancellation policy, and other important information you need to know about the experience. Once you’ve gone through all the details, click “Book Now.”
Next, select your preferred date. If your schedule has flexibility, checking across a few dates is worth doing to compare availability and pricing across different periods of the week.
Step 2: Select your ticket type
Once your date is locked in, the full range of available ticket options loads beneath it. Each listing shows what’s included, any relevant restrictions, and the price. Take a moment to read through before committing. Select the ticket that fits your group and hit “Select.”
Step 3: Choose your entry preference
Depending on the ticket type you’ve selected, you may be asked to confirm a preferred entry time or session window. Pick the option that fits your plans and click the “Continue to Payment” option.

Step 4: Set your guest count
Adjust the adult and child numbers using the + and − buttons. The running total at the top of the screen updates with each change. Confirm the count carefully before moving forward. Adjusting a booking after payment is always more effort than getting it right the first time.
Step 5: Enter your guest details
Your full name, email address, and contact number are required here. The email field is the critical one. Your e-tickets are sent there immediately after payment clears. Read it back before hitting “Next.” A typo at this stage creates an avoidable problem on the day.
Step 6: Pay and confirm
Choose your payment method and work through the checkout. The process is secured throughout. Hit “Confirm & Pay” when you’re ready.
Step 7: Receive your e-ticket and head straight in
Your booking confirmation and QR code land in your inbox within seconds of payment. On the evening of your visit, pull up the email at the Night Safari entrance, scan the code, and walk in.
No ticket window, no queue, no uncertainty about whether your slot is actually confirmed.

Singapore has plenty of evenings worth having, but the Night Safari is the one that doesn’t feel like anything else. The tram pulls away from the platform, the jungle closes in on both sides, and something moves in the dark just off the track, and suddenly you understand exactly why this place has been doing what it does for thirty years.
The jungle doesn’t wait, and neither should you. Book your Singapore Night Safari tickets on Thrillark and get ready for an evening that most people spend the rest of their trip talking about.
FAQs About Singapore Night Safari with Tram Ride Tickets
The Singapore Night Safari is the world’s first nocturnal wildlife park, opened in 1994 within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, and is home to over 900 animals from more than 100 species across 35 hectares of secondary jungle. Unlike daytime zoos, where nocturnal animals are typically inactive, the Night Safari’s subtle moonglow lighting recreates natural nighttime conditions that allow animals to move, hunt, and behave as they would in the wild after dark. It has won Singapore’s Best Attraction Experience award 13 times — a record that reflects both the originality of the concept and the quality of the experience across three decades.
Every standard Night Safari admission ticket includes one complimentary Safari Adventure Tram Ride with English commentary. The tram travels through six geographical zones over approximately 40 minutes, covering the widest sweep of the park’s habitat zones in the most comfortable format. The Creatures of the Night show is not automatically included. Seats must be reserved separately through the Mandai portal once entry tickets have been booked.
The 7:15 pm slot is consistently the most recommended of the four available entry times for 2026. It allows visitors to board the tram before the crowds from later slots arrive, catch the first Creatures of the Night show at 7:30 pm, and still have sufficient time to explore all four walking trails before midnight. Later slots, particularly 9:15 pm and 10:15 pm, reduce the amount of time available in the park and limit access to show seatings.
The Night Safari is home to over 900 animals across more than 100 species, including Malayan tapirs that roam freely alongside the tram route, Asian elephants, lions, leopards, clouded leopards, spotted hyenas, Malayan tigers, fishing cats, otters, binturongs, pangolins, civets, aardvarks, Tasmanian devils, and giant flying squirrels. Many species, including the clouded leopard and pangolin, are only visible on the walking trails rather than from the tram, making the trails an essential part of the full experience rather than an optional extra.
The most convenient public transport route to the Night Safari is taking the MRT North-South Line to Khatib Station (NS14) and boarding the Mandai Shuttle, which runs every 10 to 15 minutes and takes approximately 15 minutes to reach the park entrance. The shuttle service is also a great option. Taxis and Grab are available from anywhere in Singapore for visitors who prefer direct transport. On-site parking is available for those driving, though public transport is the more practical option for most visitors.
The Night Safari operates in light rain, and both the tram and walking trails have shelter at intervals throughout the park. Shows may be cancelled during lightning or heavy tropical storms for safety reasons. Visitors affected by a show cancellation are not automatically refunded, but can check with park staff on the night for options.
