SINGAPORE – To commemorate its 50th anniversary on January 3, Jurong Bird Park will lower its admission prices and present pioneering birds in special shows.
Throughout January, tickets will be priced at $ 2.50 for all local residents, the price of admission when the park opened in 1971.
Tickets are generally priced at $ 32 for adults, $ 21 for children ages three to 12, and $ 15 for seniors 60 and older.
Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) said on Monday (December 28) that pre-booking of tickets is mandatory, to facilitate crowd management and safe distancing measures amid the pandemic.
In January, visitors can also look forward to a special edition of the High Flyers Show featuring Big John, a 50+ year old sulfur crested cockatoo.
Big John was already an adult on the day the park opened. Birds of the species have a lifespan of 20 to 40 years in the wild.
The show is a show with birds flying freely over the heads of the audience as the presenter shares fun facts about them.
However, Big John will not fly due to his advanced age. They will take you into a privileged position as the presenters share their life story and personality quirks.
Through visual exhibits, visitors can get a glimpse of how the park has evolved over the years, its historical moments, and its future developments.
Photos include scenes from the park’s early days and the visit of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh to the Waterfall Aviary in 1972.
Visitors can also symbolically raise a flamingo next year by contributing $ 50. Each contribution comes with an electronic certificate and a coupon for a flamingo keychain.
WRS said the contributions will go towards “animal care, research and education programs in (its) parks and will support conservation projects to protect endangered species in Singapore and the region.”
All of this will be part of a series of celebratory events next year, including the launch of the park’s first digital trail in March. More details will be announced later.
