For most Singaporeans, Jurong Bird Park holds sentimental value since this aviary has been a popular destination for school excursions, family outings and probably even first dates. Alas, it’s time to say goodbye to Singapore’s oldest wildlife park, for it is relocating from its home of over 50 years in Jurong Hill to a brand-new Bird Paradise in Mandai Wildlife Reserve next year.

In line with this, the park has put together a slew of activities from 19 November 2022 till 3 January 2023 to relive good old memories and create new ones before this place shuts for good. The best part? Entry tickets cost just $10 for all local residents with a valid WildPass during this period, so you can have one last hurrah at less than half the standard cost of tickets!

All this emotional high is sure to leave you feeling hungry, so make sure to head down to Flamingo Lodge, which has been transformed into Kampung Jurong, to indulge in traditional hawker dishes. The pushcarts are even decorated in 1970s style to commemorate the park’s opening era!
