History

In 2016, the Mandai Wildlife Group announced that the Jurong Bird Park would be relocated to a much larger park at Mandai Lake Road by 2020, consolidating with the three existing wildlife parks together with a new Rainforest Wild Park to form an integrated nature and wildlife precinct known as the Mandai Wildlife Reserve.[1][2] In 2021, the group announced that the park's successor in Mandai would be named Bird Paradise.[3] In 2022, it was announced that Jurong Bird Park has closed on 3 January 2023 to finalised its move to Bird Paradise at Mandai.[4]

On 30 March 2023, Mandai Wildlife Group announced that Bird Paradise will be open to public on 8 May 2023, with ticket sales starting on 24 April 2023.[5]
