点评:We recently visited the Singapore Zoo, and while it was still a good day out, there were a few things that took away from the experience.
Firstly, a large portion of the zoo is currently under construction or renovation — but you still pay full price for entry. Near the entrance especially, the construction noise was genuinely unpleasant and made it hard to enjoy the beginning of the visit. Many of the shows were not operational. I wish there had been more transparency about this when booking.
One thing I really didn’t love is how the park has split up the experiences. For example, if you want to see the pandas, you need to purchase a separate River Wonders ticket. It feels a little like a money grab, especially for families trying to see it all in one day.
That said, there’s still a lot to enjoy. The kids’ play area is good — a great space for little ones to burn off steam — though, as with most attractions, food and drink are eye-wateringly overpriced. Bring your own water bottles — there are refill fountains around the park to refill, and it’ll save you a fortune in the heat.
Tram Tip: The tram is a lifesaver — it loops around the park and saves a lot of walking, especially in the heat. We noticed Stops 1, 2, and 3 often had long queues, but Stop 4 (near the kids’ play area and KFC) was much quieter and never had a wait.
翻译:我们最近去了新加坡动物园,虽然这趟旅程依然很愉快,但也有一些小瑕疵。
首先,动物园很大一部分区域目前正在施工或翻新——但门票仍然需要全价。尤其是在入口附近,施工噪音真的令人难以忍受,影响了参观的体验。很多表演都暂停了。我希望预订时能更透明地告知大家这一点。
有一点我不太喜欢,那就是公园把各种体验拆分了。比如,如果想看熊猫,就需要单独购买河川奇观门票。这感觉有点像圈钱,尤其是对于想在一天内看完所有景点的家庭来说。
话虽如此,这里仍然有很多值得享受的地方。儿童游乐区很不错——是小朋友们放松身心的好地方——不过,和大多数景点一样,这里的食物和饮料价格高得吓人。自带水瓶——公园周围有补水点,方便补充水,在炎热的天气里能省下一大笔钱。
电车小贴士:电车是救命稻草——它绕着公园转了一圈,省去了不少步行时间,尤其是在炎热的天气里。我们注意到1、2和3号站经常排长队,但4号站(靠近儿童游乐区和肯德基)安静得多,而且几乎不用等。
