Mandai goes wild with Disney’s 'Zootopia 2' immersive takeover

Mandai Wildlife Group has teamed up with Disney for an exclusive year-end campaign inspired by Zootopia 2, marking one of its most high-profile entertainment collaborations to date.

The activation, titled "Join the wild patrol!", invites visitors to step into the world of Zootopia through immersive themed zones such as a reimagined downtown city and Marsh Market.

Running until 4 January 2026, the experience transforms parts of the Mandai Wildlife Reserve into an interactive playground where guests can go undercover as recruits on a series of investigations.

Visitors can go undercover alongside characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde on a family-friendly mission, taking part in challenges such as spotting silhouettes in the reimagined downtown, solving sound-based puzzles at the 'Transfer Tube Network', and following clues through the 'Marsh Market'. Completing each task earns participants stamps toward an official Wild Patrol badge and certificate.

Fans can also enjoy a themed boat ride through 'Marsh Market', meet and greet sessions with Zootopia characters, and exclusive photo opportunities at the Zootopia-inspired police department set-up at the zoo entrance.

To mark the collaboration, Mandai has rolled out a Disney Zootopia adventure bundle offering one adult and one child admission for SG$75, which includes a Mandai-exclusive Zootopia 2 plush keychain. Early buyers will also receive a limited-edition Zootopia-themed magnet set, available to the first 500 redemptions daily.

The experience is supported by retail and F&B exclusives, including a Mandai-exclusive Zootopia-themed cup, themed apparel, plushies, and accessories available across Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, and Bird Paradise. Members of Friends of Mandai can access additional perks such as sticker sheets, collectible magnets, discounts, and a chance to win exclusive hampers.

According to Mandai Wildlife Group’s LinkedIn post, the initiative aims to combine education and entertainment by blending Zootopia’s animal-driven narrative with real-world conservation messages. Visitors can also take part in Animal Encounters sessions, where Mandai’s keepers share insights into wildlife protection and animal behaviour.

The Zootopia 2 collaboration builds on Mandai Wildlife Group’s ongoing efforts to use storytelling and partnerships to deepen public engagement. It also ties into the group’s broader year-long celebration of Singapore’s 60th anniversary, which has seen Mandai spotlight its role in the nation’s collective memories through the "Mandai is wild about SG" campaign — featuring limited-time offers, immersive animal experiences, and partnerships with local charities and SMEs aimed at making nature more accessible to all.

Belina Lee, deputy CEO, transformation and growth at Mandai Wildlife Group, said at the time that the campaign was rooted in the reserve’s place in Singapore’s shared memories.
