NEW at Singapore Zoo KidzWorld

The newly opened KidzWorld at Singapore Zoo boasts seven interactive indoor and outdoor zones, as well as engaging and educational programs like the Ranger Buddies Quest, the Canine Clubhouse, 250 animal residents, including interaction opportunities with the friendly cats, chickens, rabbits, and horses. This exciting vibrant space made especially for kids promises fun for the whole family.

Bigger Petting Zoo at Singapore Zoo KidzWorld

Kids can look forward to interacting with several animals at KidzWorld, including rabbits, dogs, cats, ponies, and goats. As part of the movement to encourage people to adopt not shop, all of the dogs at the Canine Clubhouse are rescues. Just be prepared that the little ones might ask if you can adopt a dog after spending time with these friendly pups.

Trainers will also be around to teach the little ones how to better interact with the animals and understand their behaviors. At the Canine Clubhouse, guests can also learn dog training tips and tricks while getting chummy with the adorable golden retrievers! Do note that the space for the cats and dogs is quite small, so we suggest getting there early so you can get in before the queue gets too long.

Ranger Buddies Base Camp at Singapore Zoo, KidzWorld

The Ranger Buddies Quest is an immersive experience that allows the little ones to step into the shoes of a keeper, nutritionist, and veterinarian. Open on Saturdays, Sundays, Public Holidays, and during school holidays, this new phygital experience (digital and physical) offers an engaging and educational exploration into the animal world. From a digital projection interactive play area to coloring activities and hands-on experiences, kids will have a blast learning about the animal world.

Revamped Playgrounds at Singapore Zoo, KidzWorld

Be sure to check out the new wet and dry play areas! The outdoor playground at KidzWorld, Singapore Zoo features a small sunken trampoline to bounce on, a long tunnel slide, and a netted bucket swing. There isn’t much shade here, so be sure to bring along hats and umbrellas and lather on sunscreen for the kids.

There’s also a sheltered sand play area where kids can take a break from the heat and build sandcastles (don’t forget to bring your sand play toys!). For a musical experience, check out the colorful musical flowers, where little ones can play a tune.

Water fountains at KidzWorld

The water play area has had a revamp too. While sadly the water slides are no longer available, kids can beat the heat at the water fountains – there’s a fountain maze with water that sprays upwards and water buckets to dodge!

KidzWorld Cafe

When the kids get hungry, head to the new KidzWorld cafe for a choice of Asian or Western food – think Noodles with Dumplings, Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl, Fish & Chips, Chicken Spaghetti Bolognese, and more. This KidzWorld cafe is a tad pricier than the Ah Meng Restaurant but provides a greater variety, so we’d recommend heading over by foot or tram if the kids are not too hungry yet. There’s also a KFC nearby.

Animal Friends Show at KidzWorld

While you’re at KidzWorld don’t miss the Animal Friends Show, where kids can volunteer to help out with animal tricks. Learn about how to train a dog to do fun tricks and watch these intelligent animals in action! You’ll also get to meet KidzWorld’s hooved friends – the beautiful falabellas and goats.
