 
													Bird Paradise at Mandai Wildlife Reserve is Singapore’s newest avian haven, spread across 17 lush hectares and home to over 3,500 birds from more than 400 species. This next-generation bird park, operated by the Mandai Wildlife Group, replaces the iconic Jurong Bird Park and offers a globally inspired journey through eight expansive walk-through aviaries, each representing a unique habitat—from the African rainforests and South American wetlands to Southeast Asian rice terraces and Australian eucalyptus forests. Designed to reflect the birds’ natural behaviors and environments, these immersive habitats invite visitors to witness birds nesting, feeding, and foraging in settings that mirror their native ecosystems.
Highlights include Heart of Africa, a multi-sensory forest experience with canopy trails and misty streams, and Wings of Asia, where sloping terraces and bamboo groves create a sanctuary for rare species like the Baer’s Pochard and Milky Stork. Penguin Cove adds a cool twist with a state-of-the-art indoor habitat featuring King, Humboldt, Gentoo, and Northern Rockhopper Penguins. Bird Paradise blends innovation and heritage, carrying forward the legacy of Jurong Bird Park with features like the iconic heliconia collection, while setting a bold new standard for wildlife parks in the region.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Finally, the Bird Park will have a new home featuring 10 zones including eight large walk-through aviaries!
Everyone!
You can also look forward to designated family fun areas at Tree Top Play and Egg Splash for dry and wet play respectively. Treetop Play is inspired by the movement of birds within the tree canopies, while Egg Splash takes inspiration from eggs of waterbirds to create a fun, playful waterscape for children.
Jurong Bird Park is currently on its last flight, A Flight To Remember. Following Jurong Bird Park’s official last day of operations on January 3, 2023, the process of moving the avian residents to Bird Paradise will begin.
With Singapore’s new bird park set to open next year, development work for the rest of the precinct is also well underway. The remaining features are set to open progressively through to 2025.
