Mandai Wildlife Reserve is also rolling out Hello from the Wild, a fresh line-up of animal encounters kicking off from 7th June 2025. These 20-minute sessions let you get up close with the animals, all while learning cool facts and quirky behaviours from the trainers themselves.

At Singapore Zoo, you’ll get to meet cheeky fennec foxes and hide superworms under pebbles for them to sniff out.

Those visiting River Wonders can look forward to meeting capybaras, the chillest creatures on the block. For $42.40/person, you’ll not only learn more about these gentle giants, but also get to feed them.

And for those Night Safari fans, hang tight – a Hello from the Wild session featuring the wallaby will be launching later this year, so there’s something for everyone, even after sunset.

You’ll get to step inside Penguin Cove and get a BTS look at what goes into their daily care, like how their meals are prepped and how keepers keep them healthy and happy. But the highlight is definitely the meet-and-greet with these feathered waddlers.
