Jurong Birdpark
The park is contained within a 20-hectare (49-acre) stretch of
land in the Jurong Lake area. It is one of the world's most
extensive bird collections and the largest in South East Asia.
Eight thousand birds comprising 600 different species inhabit the
park and range from Antarctic penguins to New Zealand kiwis.
Walking trails cut through the tropical landscape. Incredible
sights to look out for include the Waterfall Aviary, which at 98ft
(30m) it is the world's highest manmade waterfall. The Penguin
Parade has a large pool set against a landscape of rocks, cliffs,
nesting alcoves and burrows; it has a viewing gallery where
visitors can see penguins 'flying' underwater through a 98ft (30m)
wide window. The South East Asian Bird Aviary is a breathtaking
spectacle that includes the experience of a simulated thunderstorm.
Other bird shows feature flamingos, macaws, hornbills and
cockatoos. The park also includes facilities for young children to
enjoy including the new Splash 'n Slide Station.
