Celebrate Kai Kai and Jia Jia’s birthdays at River Wonders

Kai Kai and Jia Jia are set to return to China in 2027, after an extension on their 10-year loan period in 2022. The pandas arrived in Singapore in 2012.

Singapore has been working with China since 1994 on the research and conservation of giant pandas.

As part of the celebrations, there will also be an immersive experience from Sept 4 to 14, where visitors can dive into the world of giant pandas at three different zones.

This will be the first time the Panda Planet Immersive Experience will be available to fans outside China.

The Giant Panda Science Zone will offer visitors a chance to learn about the evolution, behaviours and unique adaptions of these bears.

Those who want to experience a panda’s natural ecosystem through virtual reality can head to the Panda Planet Immersive Experience: MR Experience Zone.

Meanwhile, fun facts about Kai Kai and Jia Jia will be featured in the Birthday Zone, along with a special update on Le Le, Singapore’s first and only locally born giant panda club.

Le Le was returned to China in January 2024.

Across the three zones, fans can put their knowledge of the bears to the test with science trivia challenges or snap photos at designated points for a chance to redeem exclusive merchandise.

The experience will be hosted outside the attraction’s Pavilion Capital Giant Panda Forest from Sept 4 to 14.

Entry to the exhibition will be included in all admission tickets to River Wonders. Tickets are available on the Mandai Wildlife Reserve’s website or at the park.

Every ticket comes with a $5 retail voucher and a $5 F&B voucher, which can be redeemed with a minimum spend of $20 at shops and dining outlets across all parks.
