There have been some poor reviews on the "new Kidzworld"...but my kids really enjoyed it. I think it might be because I never experienced the old Kidzworld before so to me everything is new. The reviews are true to describe the water play area to be basically sprinklers with very little structures. But I really like how clean the bathing/ changing areas were.
The toddler did play at the dry playground which was more impressive in terms of structure but the weather was really warm and humid so he didn't last long there. (Sorry for the lack of photos cos I went to the petting area with the baby.) As for the petting area, we could only pet the animals at the end of the show. We spent really long at the free petting range with the goats :)
I really love petting animals. But it would be great if we could pet more than just the goats. This was probably the area we stayed the longest. It is true...when they say the kids will never leave it. My tip is save the Kidzworld as the last stop so that the children can enjoy other parts of the zoo. To set expectations realistic, my children don't really look at each animal for a really long time. 10 mins max at each animal with random babbling and questions.
The longest arena we stayed was for the reptiles, maybe because it is air-con. Or my toddler really like the cold-blooded creatures...*shudders*. Another highlight would be the tram just for the ride experience. You can't really see much animals on the tram. I won't advise it to the mode of transport if you have a stroller because folding and unfolding the stroller to load on the stroller is exhausting.
We did catch a show with the children. It was not amazing. The animals were really small so we could barely see anything and we are seated halfway away from the stage. And it was so hot :'( I am quite surprised the kids manage to sit through the whole show. For food, we chose to have it at Ah Meng Cafe. The food was very reasonably priced (20% off for Wildlife Reserves Members - free to sign up by the way) and the portions were huge!
The food at Kidzworld is more expensive by the way. Haha. But the reason why we chose Ah Meng was because it is on its way and I am quite tempted to give Breakfast it the Wild a try in future. Hope this review helps. You can read my past review here on other Zoo tip!
