Getting there You could take a cab, but a cheaper method is taking the North East Line to Harbourfront Station and then, depending upon your choice, go to the ground floor to take a RWS 8 bus (S$1) or walk on the boardwalk (free of cost in 2017) or go to the 3 rd floor to take a monorail and alight at the Waterfront station (S$4) At the aquarium Shark Seas Habitat: This curved enclosure made us feel like the sharks who lived there were swimming above us. It was home to over 100 sharks, including hammerhead sharks which had 360 O vision. Hard Coral & Soft Coral Habitat: Small but colourful fish lived in a dense jungle of corals and sea anemones. The first picture is a view of the Soft Coral Habitat while the second is an up-close view of a fish in the Hard Coral Habitat African Lake: Many different sea creatures in different shapes, sizes and colours live in this habitat including the endangered Platinum Alligator

Getting there I would recommend getting a taxi but if you want a cheaper method use the MRT by taking the East West Line to Boon Lay and then taking bus 194 from there to the park. At the park High Flyers Show We reached there only at 11:00, just in time for the High Flyers Show at Pools Amphitheatre. There, many birds showed us many flying stunts like the hornbills who caught pieces of food in mid-air or the macaw who flew through really small hoops. Section 1 (Tram Stop 1-Tram Stop 2) Wetlands: The Wetlands enclosure was an exhibit which had scarlet ibises, spoonbills and other terrestrial birds whose natural habitat is a wetland. Royal Ramble: This enclosure gave us the chance to see crowned pigeons and green peafowls up-close without a cage or even a glass separating us from them. Hornbills and Toucans: The largest of its kind, this exhibit had a lot of hornbills and toucans including the African pied hornbill and the Toco toucan. Hornbill
