Night Safari is the world's first nocturnal zoo,^[3] located in Mandai, Singapore. One of the country's most popular tourist attractions, it is one of five Mandai Wildlife Reserve parks, including Singapore Zoo, Bird Paradise, River Wonders, and the upcoming Rainforest Wild Park.

The concept of a nocturnal park in Singapore was suggested in the 1980s by the former executive chairman of the Singapore Zoo, Dr Ong Swee Law. Constructed at a cost of S$63 million, the Night Safari was officially opened on 26 May 1994 and occupies 35 hectares (86 acres) of secondary rainforest adjacent to the Singapore Zoo and Upper Seletar Reservoir.

The Night Safari currently houses over 900 animals representing over 100 species, of which 41% are threatened species.^[1] The Night Safari is managed by Mandai Wildlife Group, and about 1.3 million visitors visit the safari per year.^[4][2] The Night Safari received its 11 millionth visitor on 29 May 2007.
