Bird Paradise
Bird Paradise is an aviary located in Mandai, Singapore. Opened on 8 May 2023, it replaced the Jurong Bird Park and forms a part of the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, consisting of the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Wonders and the upcoming Rainforest Wild Park. Bird Paradise covers approximately , with larger and double the walk-in aviaries than the previous Jurong Bird Park. History
In 2016, the Mandai Wildlife Group announced that the Jurong Bird Park would be relocated to a much larger park at Mandai Lake Road by 2020, consolidating with the three existing wildlife parks together with a new Rainforest Wild Park to form an integrated nature and wildlife precinct known as the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. In 2021, the group announced that the park's successor in Mandai would be named Bird Paradise. It was also announced that the park opening would be pushed back due to challenging site conditions and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, it was announced that Jurong Bird Park will be closed on 3 January 2023 to finalise its move to Bird Paradise in Mandai. Bird Paradise was open to the general public on 8 May 2023, with ticket sales starting on 24 April 2023. Animals and exhibits
