The year-end holidays are here again
and visitors to the Singapore Night Safari can enjoy Mystica, its signature
event, and be dazzled by an enchanting ensemble of wild, mystical characters in
their Mystica journey through the park.
Every Friday and Saturday night between Nov 21 and Dec 20, 200 lucky
visitors who complete the Mystica Quest at the Night Safari, will be rewarded
with glittery gifts. Besides the thrill
of sighting nocturnal animals in their natural habitat, you can look forward to
lots of family fun when the night wilderness comes alive!

Your Mystica Quest begins when you meet
the mysterious and magical Island Keeper at the Entrance Plaza who will
encourage you to start your journey in navigating challenges and solving
puzzles. In your journey to each of the
four stations, you will meet curious creatures who will guide you along to
complete simple tasks and earn coloured wrist gems. Wear each gem on your wrist as you collect
them and at the end of your quest, the first 200 visitors can claim their gifts
when they present all four wrist gems at the Redemption Counter.

Get ready to come face-to-face with whimsical
denizens of the forest like the Jumparoo with his springy dance steps, the
scintillating Slithery Snake with her shimmery moves and the most divine of the
Mystica inhabitants, the Ravishing Raven.
This dark angel, who wears roaring red boots, will have you under his
mystical spell in no time at all so seize the opportunity to snap a selfie with
the Ravishing Raven and let the stationmaster upload it onto the screen for
real-time viewing. This is how easy it
is for you to earn your first Blue Sapphire wrist gem!

If you have never seen a Malayan tapir
before, then you should spot it at Night Safari, the first park for nocturnal
animals that is focused on captive breeding of threatened animal species. In the last few years, some endangered
species like the Malayan tapir, Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, Asian lions,
fishing cats, red dholes, anoas, markhors and bantengs, have been successfully bred here. A comfortable tram ride will take you pass
the various animal habitats or you can enjoy the walking trails to view the
animals but just don’t miss the impressive sight of Night Safari’s iconic bull
elephant, Chawang!
