Creatures of the Night

Singapore


If you're with kids, don’t miss Creatures of the Night, an interactive, 25-minute show whose stars includes otters, owls and a hyena. Seating is unassigned, so arrive a little early to secure a good vantage point. Animal performances have been criticised by animal-welfare groups, who say that captivity is debilitating and stressful for animals, and that this is exacerbated by human interaction.

Note that shows may be cancelled in case of wet weather.
