SINGAPORE: The Singapore Zoological Gardens was named the top Asian zoo by TripAdvisor on Tuesday (Aug 5), while Resorts World Sentosa's (RWS) SEA Aquarium was ranked seventh in the Asia's aquarium list.

The travel site operator said its Travellers' Choice awards for Zoos and Aquariums identified 275 winners, with Henry Doorly Zoo in Nebraska in the United States clinching top spot for Zoos worldwide while Monteray Bay Aquarium in California came first in the Aquarium category.

The Singapore Zoological Gardens was ranked fifth worldwide, but came up trumps in Asia. For the continent, Thailand's Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Pattaya placed in second, while India's Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens in Mysore came in third.

Mr Lee Meng Tat, CEO of Wildlife Reserves Singapore, said: “We are pleased to be recognised as one of the best zoos in the world by TripAdvisor travellers. We hope that with this accolade, we are able to reach out to a greater audience in our mission to educate the public to better appreciate, protect and together secure the future for our most valued assets – wildlife.”

In the Aquariums list, RWS' SEA Aquarium came in at seventh in Asia. Japan's Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium were ranked first and second, respectively, while Thailand's Siam Ocean World was third.

and a very Big crowd puller before she died in Feb 2008.


may she RIP.

Indeed, how can Singapore zoo be the best in Asia. Anyway TripAdvisor is not a reliable source of info.

U sure? ..of course lah...it is published and documented in our papers. As Yakult said...read and hear the right thing..

just like NUS ranking..once they said it surpassed and has a higher ranking than an Ivy Leauge university, Cornell ...

even though NUS cannot attract not even one Nobel prize laureate to any of its faculties.

come to think of it, zoo is so so nia lah, night safari lighting too dark, cannot see much cos' they also need to protect the animals.

best if they can put the crony ministers in the zoo...
