We uncover the fascinating story behind Singapore's world-famous Night Safari, the OG of night zoos in the world. Now in its 30th year of existence, we go deep into how this groundbreaking attraction came to life, and highlight the challenges, innovations, and vision that transformed a gimmicky idea into a must-see destination for tourists in Singapore. We talk about the earliest zoos in Singapore, how former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong was instrumental in the founding of the Night Safari, and what controversies the zoo has faced over the years.
