Singapore Zoo vs Night Safari 2026: Combo Tickets & Best Value
Singapore’s two Mandai wildlife parks sit side by side: the Singapore Zoo Ticket | Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore (S$49 ($37.99), daytime) and the Night Safari Ticket | Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Singapore (S$58 ($44.85), after dark). The real question is whether to bundle them. Doing both in one Mandai day is efficient, but only if the combo actually saves money over two single tickets.
The bundle math is close, so verify the inclusion list before you commit, because a ‘pass’ that doesn’t list both parks is worthless to you. This guide works the break-even and the efficient day so you do both without burning two separate commutes.
Here is the math. Prices verified: July 13, 2026.
At a glance
Zoo S$49 ($37.99) + Night Safari S$58 ($44.85) = S$107 ($82.84) separate. The Klook Pass Singapore - Mandai Pass at S$94 ($72.75) saves about S$13 ($10) if it lists both. Doing both in one Mandai day is the efficient play: Zoo at opening, Night Safari after dark, one commute.
| Park | Klook price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore Zoo | S$49 ($37.99) | Day |
| Night Safari | S$58 ($44.85) | Evening |
| Mandai Pass (both) | S$94 ($72.75) | Bundle |
The two tickets
| Park | Klook price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore Zoo | S$49 ($37.99) | Day |
| Night Safari | S$58 ($44.85) | Evening |
These are separate gates with separate tickets. The Zoo is a walkable, open-concept daytime park; the Night Safari is a guided tram through lit trails after dark. Different experiences, same chunk of jungle at Mandai.
The Zoo is a satisfying half-day if you go early and beat the heat; the Night Safari is a few hours after dusk. Both are doable in one Mandai day if you sequence them, Zoo at opening, break midday, Night Safari after dark.
Verdict: Both in one Mandai day, one commute, ~S$13 ($10) saved bundling.
Bundle vs separate
| Plan | Cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Zoo + Night Safari separate | S$107 ($82.84) | Baseline |
| Klook Pass Singapore - Mandai | S$94 ($72.75) | Saves ~S$13 ($10) if it lists both |
Doing both in one Mandai day, the Klook Pass Singapore - Mandai Pass at S$94 ($72.75) saves ~S$13 ($10) versus S$107 ($82.84) separate. Doing only one, buy that ticket alone.
Don’t buy the pass hoping it covers both without checking the inclusion list, the savings vanish if one park is excluded. The pass is only worth it for the two-park day, not for a single visit.
Verdict: Bundle only if you do both parks; else single ticket.
Who should skip this
- One park only: single ticket beats any pass.
- Tight schedule: the Zoo alone is a satisfying half-day, skip Night Safari if short on time.
How to book (and common mistakes)
Book the Zoo on Klook for a morning slot and the Night Safari for the evening; if doing both, check the Mandai Pass inclusion list first. Mandai is a single MRT-plus-shuttle ride from the city, do both in one trip to save the commute.
Final thoughts
S$49 ($37.99) zoo, S$58 ($44.85) safari, ~S$13 ($10) saved bundling both, the math is simple. The Sentosa pass guide covers the other big-ticket day, and the Singapore 3-day budget slots Mandai in.

Pro tips (the stuff that saves you money)
- Doing both in one Mandai day saves the commute, Zoo at opening, Night Safari after dark.
- Zoo S$49 ($37.99) + Night Safari S$58 ($44.85) = S$107 ($82.84); the Mandai Pass at S$94 ($72.75) saves ~S$13 ($10) if it lists both.
- Verify the Mandai Pass inclusion list, the savings vanish if one park is excluded.

The two Mandai parks sit side by side, and the bundle math is close, so verify the inclusion list before you commit. A ‘pass’ that doesn’t list both parks is worthless to you. For the other big-ticket day, the guide covers the island, and the guide slots Mandai in.
The bottom line for budget travelers
The two Mandai parks are best done as a single day if you want both, Zoo in the morning and Night Safari after dark, because that saves you a second commute across the island. Bought separately they’re S$107 ($82.84), and the Mandai bundle at S$94 ($72.75) saves about S$13 ($10) only if it lists both parks, so verify the inclusion list before you commit. The Zoo alone is a satisfying half-day if your time is tight, and the Night Safari is the novelty of seeing nocturnal animals lit by path light. Neither needs a pass if you’re doing only one. The savings are real but small, so don’t buy the bundle hoping for a big discount, it only helps if you actually do both parks. If you’re short on time, pick the Zoo for the daytime animal encounters and skip Night Safari, or take Night Safari alone for the after-dark experience, but doing both in one designed day is the efficient play.
