A river-themed zoo and aquarium in Mandai, set between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari. Its exhibits follow great rivers such as the Amazon, the Mekong and the Yangtze, with a boat ride through the grounds and a pair of giant pandas.
Singapore Zoo 2.3 km
A 28 hectare zoo on the edge of Upper Seletar Reservoir, set in the forested heart of the island. It is known for keeping its animals in open landscaped enclosures, divided by moats and streams rather than bars, and has neighbours in the Night Safari and Bird Paradise.
Night Safari 2.3 km
The world's first zoo built for night, opened in 1994 in the forest at Mandai. A tram and walking trails lead after dark past animals of Asia and Africa, lit softly so that they keep to their nocturnal habits.

An aviary park in Mandai that opened in 2023, taking over from the old Jurong Bird Park. Its 17 hectares hold large walk-in aviaries themed on habitats around the world, where birds fly freely over the paths.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park 4.3 km
A large park in the heartland between Bishan and Ang Mo Kio, with the Kallang River running through its middle. The river's old concrete canal was replaced with a winding stream and grassy banks, where families paddle and otters are often seen.
Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery 4.8 km
The largest Buddhist temple and monastery in Singapore, on Bright Hill Road in Bishan, which is why most people simply call it Bright Hill Temple. Its grounds spread across a hillside of prayer halls, and on Vesak Day devotees circle it in a slow pilgrimage of three steps and a bow.
