Jurong Falls, Man-made waterfall in Jurong Bird Park, Singapore
Jurong Falls is a man-made waterfall inside Jurong Bird Park in Singapore, dropping water down several tiers into a large walk-through aviary. It is surrounded by thick tropical planting and feeds a pond at the base that forms a wet habitat for African water birds.
The waterfall opened in 1971 as part of Jurong Bird Park when the park first launched, and it was planned as a central feature from the start. It was one of the first attempts in Singapore to create a setting where visitors could observe birds in a habitat that resembled their natural environment.
The waterfall sits inside a walk-through aviary where African birds move freely around visitors. You can watch pelicans, storks, and other water birds wade or drink just a few steps away from the path.
An observation platform at the top offers the clearest view of the full waterfall and the aviary below. The ground near the water stays wet, so closed shoes with a firm grip make the walk more comfortable.
The water that flows down the falls is fully recycled through a closed pipe system before returning to the top. This loop allows the water quality to be controlled, which matters for the birds that drink directly from it.
