Night Safari Mystica Quest

Meet the enchanted forest folk in your Mystica journey
at the Night Safari this holiday season!
The year-end holidays are here again and visitors to the Singapore Night Safari can enjoy Mystica, its signature event, and be dazzled by an enchanting ensemble of wild, mystical characters in their Mystica journey through the park.  Every Friday and Saturday night between Nov 21 and Dec 20, 200 lucky visitors who complete the Mystica Quest at the Night Safari, will be rewarded with glittery gifts.  Besides the thrill of sighting nocturnal animals in their natural habitat, you can look forward to lots of family fun when the night wilderness comes alive!

Take a selfie with the Ravishing Raven
Your Mystica Quest begins when you meet the mysterious and magical Island Keeper at the Entrance Plaza who will encourage you to start your journey in navigating challenges and solving puzzles.  In your journey to each of the four stations, you will meet curious creatures who will guide you along to complete simple tasks and earn coloured wrist gems.  Wear each gem on your wrist as you collect them and at the end of your quest, the first 200 visitors can claim their gifts when they present all four wrist gems at the Redemption Counter.

Get ready to come face-to-face with whimsical denizens of the forest like the Jumparoo with his springy dance steps, the scintillating Slithery Snake with her shimmery moves and the most divine of the Mystica inhabitants, the Ravishing Raven.  

This dark angel, who wears roaring red boots, will have you under his mystical spell in no time at all so seize the opportunity to snap a selfie with the Ravishing Raven and let the stationmaster upload it onto the screen for real-time viewing.  This is how easy it is for you to earn your first Blue Sapphire wrist gem!

If you have never seen a Malayan tapir before, then you should spot it at Night Safari, the first park for nocturnal animals that is focused on captive breeding of threatened animal species.  In the last few years, some endangered species like the Malayan tapir, Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, Asian lions, fishing cats, red dholes, anoas, markhors and bantengs, have been successfully bred here.  A comfortable tram ride will take you pass the various animal habitats or you can enjoy the walking trails to view the animals but just don’t miss the impressive sight of Night Safari’s iconic bull elephant, Chawang!
