Looking for a Pokémon haven?

You'll find four in our wildlife parks — the zoo, the River Safari, the Night Safari and the Jurong Bird Park.

Thanks to the ability to buy and set lures, Singapore's four wildlife parks will be teeming with Pokémon for the catching — and will even come with eight gyms, helpfully marked out on detailed maps they've distributed over this weekend.

1. Singapore Zoo (1 gym, 32 PokéStops)
