Every kid must make a trip to the Kidz World whenever they go to the Singapore Zoo! It’s such a fun place complete with water playground, pony-riding, feeding and touching of little animals. Fun!
I had initially planned to take a boat ride with Joey near to the entrance, which would bring us straight to the Kidz World, but the pier was closed due to structural renovations. So in the end, we walked all the way through the zoo to the Kidz World. If you’ve walked the distance before, you could testify how far it was!
Our legs were aching by the time we reached the place, but Joey got all hyped up again when she knew she could feed the goats!
$2 for a pail of assorted veggie goodness. =)
The goats ate like they haven’t eaten for days.
The bigger goats were very naughty though. They would use their horns to attack the younger goats to scare them away, so that they get to eat all the food.
That’s Joey scolding the goat bullies for being naughty!
After feeding, it was ice cream time!
We rested our feet inside the air-conditioned restaurant while Joey ate ice cream and rattled on and on. I think she’s loving the very focused time I have with her, listening intently to every word she said with undivided attention. =P
Then we went to watch the “Rainforest Fights Back!” Animal Show. It’s said to be the show with the most animal casts in the world!
Most animal shows we have seen before all have animals appearing on stage and doing stunts. This show, however, had casts and animals coming from all directions!
This ‘Red Indian’ came rushing down from the top towards our direction and Joey was so nervous she quickly shifted closer to me! Haha!
There’s another guy who went down the other way..
Not only the human casts, the animal casts came from all directions as well! See the lines hanging in mid-air. The birds and monkeys would move along those from the back towards the stage. The show was entertaining because the animals start appearing from somewhere all of a sudden!
There were also animals who would appear on stage and then proceeded to swim in the big transparent tank at the stage front. The ducks were so cute! They came wobbling out in a group of 10, and went dipping in the artificial river on stage! Then before you could get over their cuteness, a group of rabbits went hopping across the stage to the opposite side! But I didn’t manage to snap a photo of them. You got to catch the show to see them yourself!
We were in the zoo from 9+ in the morning till 12.30pm and were totally worn out by then! We didn’t even manage to cover half the zoo! But it was sure fun having a one-to-one time with my darling! :)
