Giant pandas Jia Jia and Kai Kai are celebrating their birthdays this September at Singapore's River Wonders, coinciding with the debut of the Panda Planet Immersive Experience outside China. Presented by iPanda, the exhibition is part of the China-Singapore Panda Relations initiative with Mandai Wildlife Group. The event offers a unique opportunity for families and panda enthusiasts to engage with these beloved animals.
Jia Jia, who turns 18 today, and Kai Kai, who will be 19 on 14 September, will have their birthday celebrations on 5 and 13 September, respectively, at the Pavilion Capital Giant Panda Forest. Visitors can watch the pandas enjoy specially prepared gift boxes filled with treats, designed to stimulate their natural foraging behaviours.
Running from 4 to 14 September, the Panda Planet Immersive Experience features three themed zones. The Giant Panda Science Zone educates visitors on panda evolution and conservation efforts. The Kai Kai & Jia Jia Birthday Zone shares fun facts about the pandas, including an update on Le Le, Singapore's first local-born panda cub, who returned to China in 2024. The MR Experience Zone offers an interactive glimpse into the pandas' natural habitat.
Guests can test their panda knowledge and enjoy photo opportunities for a chance to win exclusive merchandise. The exhibition is included with River Wonders admission, which also offers vouchers for in-park purchases. For more details, visit the Mandai Wildlife Reserve's website
