ACRES Outdoors aims to bring children outdoors to learn how to behave in a safe way in a natural environment which includes plants, wild animals and the terrain.
Through having fun and an immersive experience in a beautiful nature area, guided by our outdoor education staff, we hope children will:
- learn how to behave safely and responsibly when outdoors in nature areas, and when encountering wild animals.
- appreciate nature's beauty and value, connect with nature, and become its protectors.
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a good place for children to see and learn about animals of the mangrove swamps, a type of habitat that was once common all over Singapore.
Programme outline:
- 9 .00am: Gather at meeting point - sheltered area at visitor centre at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Briefing on walk. Sharing on what to do and what not to do when encountering wildlife such as snakes and crocodiles or bees, how to avoid snakebite, first aid for venomous snakebite. Plan route on map.

Getting there by public transport
To get to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve VIsitor Centre. 60 Kranji Way, Singapore 739453:
Take bus 925 from Woodlands Bus Interchange (~45 mins bus ride) or bus stop opposite Marsiling MRT (~35 mins bus ride). You can also take it from Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange (~50 mins bus ride) if coming from the South or West. 925 also stops at Kranji MRT but during peak period in the morning it is often too crowded to board it there, so take it from Marsiling or Woodlands instead.
When bus 925 drives onto the dam at Kranji Way so you can see Johor Bahru on your right and Kranji Reservoir on your left, press the bell to alight. The bus stop is in the car park at the end of the dam (Kranji Reservoir Park B) where the bus turns around.
From the bus stop in Kranji Park B, walk left along the road, cross the road carefully at the push-button traffic light and enter the gate of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (SBWR). Follow the curving footpath over the pond bridge to the visitor centre.
