Coming from a non tropical region, one thing that astounded me was the variety of flora and fauna you see in this zoo.

One needs a good day of exploring this collection of animals. Tickets are easy to purchase at the counter and the paths are easy to follow. If the heat is a bit too much for you, there is a little golf cart type bus taking tourists and you can buy passes for it anywhere.

There are feeding times for the primates and elephants,etc so if you keep the map with you you can make sure to get to them in time.

There are vending machines that provide fresh squeezed orange juice which is an exciting thing to see by itself.

The butterfly and bird part of the zoo is a must see. Unfortunately a lot of the predators might be lazy if the weather is too hot.

Public Transportation wise it s a bit tricky as the buses here are in a closed loop till the MRT and the tickets are sold at the Zoo counter. We struggled a bit to understand where to buy the tickets initially. Lots of cabs available here though.

Install the Grab application and get a tourist pass for local transportation for an easier time in Singapore.
