We reached there at around 9 plus and the carpark was pretty packed. We parked the very last slot in the area under the guard's direction and walked our way in. There was already a huge crowd, to our chagrin. I quickly queued up for the tickets, while the men went to buy breakfast. We had a quick bite and entered the zoo, while Ian ate the toast along the way. Strangely, everybody was crowding around the entrance, and hence, we quickly made our way inwards.
Our first destination was the boat ride. It was a breezy cruise around the reservoir, but we probably would not take it again. The ride took us to nearby the kids zone. Ian managed to feed some greens to the goats and he really enjoyed the attention from the goats. We proceeded to the water play area, changed him into his swim wear and let him play in the water area for quite some time. As always, he enjoyed water play thoroughly.
When it was near to lunch hour, Hubby pulled him out and we searched around for a place to eat. We walked aimlessly around before finding the Ah Meng restaurant. Ian was tired from all the play in the morning and ate only a little of my chicken rice. The food portion was small, and Hubby had to buy a second round of food.
After lunch, we boarded the tram to tour around the zoo. We saw a few of the familiar animals in the zoo and after that, spent around an hour on the tram while Ian slept on his Daddy's laps.
For our last stop, we visited the Australian Outback station and saw 2 small kangaroos and an emu. It was too hot and all the 3 of us were exhausted. We called it a day and left at 3 plus.
Verdict of the trip: we would probably need to find more outings like this to build up our staminas! But it was a good exposure to Ian to let him see some real animals, instead of on paper or on TV.
