Be a Junior Wildlife reporter at Jurong Bird Park

[ Media Invite ]

This December, a lot of junior reporters are flocking to Jurong Bird Park.

Every weekend, from now till 29Dec, kids can register at Penguin-razzi to get up close to the penguins ! This activity is for kids 5-12 years old, and pre-registration is required.

Kids get to learn more about their favourite penguins.
– Where do they live?
– What do they eat?
– Why their coat is black on top and white below?
– Do penguins happy-feet? (joking)

Jurong Birdpark penguins

Meet and Greet session, everyone say hello to Chocolate. This 9 month old African penguin is the latest celebrity penguin hatched and raised at Jurong Bird Park !

Kids will also learn about the different types of penguins. We all know the majestic Emperor, and Rockhopper. What about African and Humboldt? More penguin activities can be found at Penguin Coast.

Oh, the African penguins at Jurong Bird Park are well adapted to the tropics already. Watch Chocolate swim and chase after his keeper here.

Remember to grab a copy of the Penguin Times.
Activities and knowledge are waiting for kids to discover πŸ™‚

Why are kids running so fast across the bridge?

We are at Lory Loft again, and we love to feed the cute lories ! Each cup of nectar costs $3, but the smiles from the kids are priceless πŸ™‚

At 1.30PM, we head back to Birdz of Play for the next Penguin activity.

At Penguin Party, join senior reporters for some dance and photography “lesson”. He will teach the kids how to be “reporters’.


The penguin mascots “Pengu and Pengy” will be organising a wet and wild penguin party for the kids. Expect dance, songs and magic show too.

Sand art never fail to attract the kids, offering precious moments for parents to rest one corner.

Penguin face-painting anyone, or maybe design your own reporter note book cover πŸ™‚

After all the penguin activities, our kids turn their attention to the water playground at Birdz of Play. This playground needs no invitation.

Mystica Night Safari

[ Media Invite ]

This December, Night Safari is transformed into a magical rainforest, and visitors can see Night Safari in a different light (literally).

Luminous face paintings or tattoos anyone?

After CEO (WRS) Lee Meng Tat pours out the magic portion, all sorts of magical creatures pop up in and around Night Safari.

Love the vibrant colours and fantasy theme, but some creatures looks like mutants !

Fairy and Flamingo.

Guess who is Frog and who is Zebra?

Everything is lighted up, enchanted trees, giant flowers and towering vines gather to bring visitors into a realm of fantasy.

Video: In certain dark corners and stretches, you might bump into a fairy πŸ™‚

Night trails are a must at Night Safari. Under the cover of darkness, we can watch how nocturnal animals go about stalking their preys.

The zookeeper threw a box of goodies for the fishing cats to explore.

.. or we can spy civet cats grab their durians( yes !) from within the colourful balls.

Click on Night Safari’s map for more trails and shows.

Do make sure the Hyenas and Leopard are not onto your scent or footprints.

Lastly, We caught the 9:30PM Creatures of the Night show. This is our first time, as we would normally be home by 9:30PM. We love it ! The interaction, clever play of lighting, and how close we can get to the performing animals (overhead too).

Kids’ eyes are glued to the stage.

Thank you Night Safari for the invitation, all of us were dusted with specks of Magic πŸ™‚
More Mystical photos can be found on our Fanpage album.

Night Safari’s Mystical Wildlife Wonderland runs from now till 31Dec.
More activities are listed on their webpage.
