Jurong Bird Park was first opened back on 3 January 1971 and became the largest bird park in Asia, boasting more than 5,000 birds across 400 species.

It was previously announced back in 2014 that as part of efforts to transform the Mandai area into a mega nature attraction, Jurong Bird Park will be relocated to where the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Wonders are located.

A new park named Rainforest Wild will also be built at the new Bird Paradise, which will provide exploration experiences within a rainforest setting.

The new park will also house a new facility for the treatment and rehabilitation of animals that are rescued.

A new 1,000-seater amphitheatre will also be built at the Night Safari, and several areas at the existing parks in Mandai will be revamped, such as the Kidzworld at the Singapore Zoo.
