By the BeatTheCrowd team · Updated 21 October 2026 · 3 min read
Quick answer
The Night Safari costs about S$58 for non-resident adults (S$41 for children), with the tram ride included. The tram queue is longest right after opening, so either arrive at opening and head straight to the tram, or come later in the evening, after 8:30 pm. Bundles with Singapore Zoo save money.
