One word can describe the Singapore Zoo Night Safari — con!

I can’t remember the last time something had been so hyped up, I had been charged so much, and I had felt so let down.

The entry fee in 2015 was $42 — that is Singapore dollar; so in 2015, $30 US; £20 UK. That seemed steep to me, so the expectation bar was high. It would have to be good for that price — sadly, it wasn’t.

The queues to get in, and the queues for the tram ride around the park, were huge. I, therefore, decided to take the walking route. The trail was quite disappointing as all I could hear was the commentary from the tram, plus there was pounding music coming from somewhere. There was no peace.

The first animal was a small forest deer.
