Snoopy and his Beagle Scout troop will be arriving at Mandai Wildlife Reserve for the first time ever this festive season. From now to Jan 2 next year, visitors to the Singapore Zoo, Bird Paradise and River Wonders will be able to embark on missions with the iconic character and his crew, snap pictures with lovable mascots and even take home Peanuts-inspired keepsakes.
In fact, there’ll be a jam-packed lineup of activities to keep the kiddos occupied all across the holiday season, so keep reading to see when best to plan your trip to Singapore’s premier wildlife destination.
For starters, guests can look forward to winning exclusive themed badges from both the Singapore Zoo and Bird Paradise if they participate in a physical and digital mission, available in booklet and on the Mandai app respectively.
That’s not the only Snoopy merch on offer this season, as they can also head on over to River Wonders to take part in a scavenger hunt for the chance to score more loot.
Do look out for the thematic photo spots as you explore the sprawling wildlife reserve – you won’t want to miss your chance to snag a pic with classic Peanuts icons like the red doghouse, kite-eating tree and of course, Snoopy and friends too.
If you’re game enough to brave the crowds during peak holiday season (Dec 24, 25 and 31; Jan 1), you’ll even be able to meet Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy mascots for a real-life meet-and-greet, rain or shine!
Make sure to save some energy and time for fringe activities around the Singapore Zoo, which range from a station where you can draw your own Peanuts comic strip to workshops with the Singapore Red Cross where you can learn lifesaving bandage techniques and other survival skills.
There’ll even be a pet-friendly Christmas Market on Dec 22 to 24 with festive-themed workshops, live performances, a Best Dressed Dog competition and a photo opportunity with a mega-sized Snoopy.
If all that sounds enough to get you proper tired, you can always make a staycation out of it with the returning Glamping in the Wild at Singapore Zoo with – what else – a special Snoopy edition.
