Why is Singapore Zoo highly ranked on Tripadvisor?

Success of Singapore Zoo~~

Singapore zoo is so successful and highly recommended and ranked by other tourists boards and also Tripadvsior is because of its awesome services, programmes and facilities.

As mentioned above, the visitor's market of the zoo i classified would be families with young kids, it is because the zoo provide a wide variety of activities like animal rides, animal feeding, kidzworld and animal shows.

Special services for elderlys: Besides, there are also disabled services provided like wheelchairs if the family brought their elderly along as well as parking services and toilets.

Special services for toddlers: Prams and wagon rentals are available.

Other facilities: Lockers are located near the entrance while nursing rooms and diaper changing rooms are located at different locations around the zoo for convenience. First aid Stations, Prayer rooms & Lost and Found.

Unique points of Singapore Zoo :

1.) It is a rainforest themed zoo inside out. Uniform of the staff are rangers and it makes it look more like being in a jungle feel.

2.) A BREAKFAST WITH ORANG UTANS!!! Who wouldn't be surprised to hear that we are able to have a breakfast with the animals and also photos are available to be taken too! For me, my first reaction was WOW A BRAND NEW EXPIERENCE FOR TOURIST FOR SURE!  I mean, which zoo does that frequently?

3.) Animal shows. Singapore Animal shows not only showcases the ability and their presentations but educates the audience about our nature wildlifes are getting lesser and lesser due to the burning of forests in other countries and also, these animals are stranded as their natural habitats are destroyed. Animal shows are forever fully seated.




Pitting itself against other zoos.

I've picked out Thailand Dusit Zoo as a competitor because i had been there before. Thailand zoo doesn't have as much facilities like Singapore Zoo does and also, they do not have alot of staffs around asking visitors if they want a picutur given, their services isn't as great as Singapore. They do not havd the welcoming feeling and there aren't a lot of tourists and i remembered it was a sunday that i went to visit. Animals too, Singapore had 2,800 ver different species of animals while Thailand only had 1,600. Thailand had 5 zoos in different cities, but i think Singapore Zoo definitely wins based on the number of visitors, facilities, services, activities and also programmes and also in terms of educational stuffs.



Successful in Promoting itself? Oh yes, Singapore Zoo surely does. Singapore Zoo even had banners and posters hung in Orchard, a shopping heaven for the locals and most importantly, the tourists as most of them stay in the hotel of orchard. They also promoted themselves by having posters at our bus stops. The website has also been done up very well and full of infomation you wanted. Brochures are given out too.
