Some tips on visiting our wild places during the long holidays
The Lunar New Year long holidays usually draws unusually large crowds to our wild places including our parks and reserves, Pulau Ubin and other open places. To avoid the crowds, visit very early or later in the day. These are also the times when our wildlife is more active anyway.

• Be well prepared for an enjoyable trip.
• More info for visitors to our wild places on the wildsingapore website.
