"Me and my wife visited River Wonders on a rainy Sunday. Thankfully, most of the exhibits are sheltered, so the wet weather didn’t spoil our visit and we could still enjoy seeing the animals—especially the giant pandas! The park is very clean, well-organized, and perfect for families with kids. However, the Amazon River Quest boat ride was suspended for a long time due to rain and thunder, which was disappointing since it's one of the main attractions.

About the shows: the “Once Upon a River” presentation wasn’t as impressive as we hoped. The venue was small with limited seating and the arrangements weren’t very comfortable. On our visit, the park was really crowded. You have to book your show slot online, and it opens just 2 hours before the show—slots fill up in minutes! We were lucky to get a spot, but the area definitely needs to be bigger and better organized to handle the crowds.

Despite a few downsides, we had an enjoyable and educational day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun family outing—just plan ahead for the shows and expect a big crowd on weekends!"

"River Wonders is a fantastic attraction for both kids and adults! It offers a unique mix of fun, education, and wildlife encounters that you don’t often find in one place.

I was amazed to see fish species I had never seen before, such as the Elephant Fish from Africa. The aquarium sections are beautifully designed and really allow you to get up close with creatures from all around the world’s rivers. Of course, one of the highlights is seeing the giant pandas munching on bamboo—definitely a must-see moment for visitors.

We also attended the “Once Upon a River” show, which featured a capybara, pelican, and other animals. The show is family-friendly, short but entertaining, and gives you an opportunity to learn about different river animals. Just make sure to reserve your slot at least 2 hours in advance (it’s free), as spaces fill up quickly.

Another highlight was the Amazon River Quest ride, which is probably the most exciting activity here. It’s a gentle boat ride through different themed habitats, where you can spot animals such as jaguars, anteaters, and giant otters. Both kids and adults will love it! Be prepared, though—you may need to queue for 30–40 minutes, especially during peak hours, but it’s worth the wait.

Overall, River Wonders is a great half-day or full-day excursion. It’s easy to reach by both taxi and public transport, and the park is stroller-friendly, making it convenient for families with young children. There are also plenty of shaded areas and places to rest, which is important in Singapore’s tropical climate.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature, animals, or just wants a fun and memorable outing in Singapore!"

"One of the coolest place to see the pandas and fish. Nice and clean area with good facilities to stroll with young kids. Also the animal presentation are nice and exciting experience for families. Giant fish tanks are wonderful and fish and animals are from both freshwater and sea water"
