The Rainforest Festival kicks off the Mandai Rainforest Resort's opening with nature events, sustainable tourism focus, and charity-linked tickets.

The inaugural Rainforest Festival, running November 27 to December 3, 2025, celebrates the opening of Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree—the 100th property for Banyan Group and its return to Singapore. Held within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, the festival features nature walks, wellness sessions, family activities, and performances by local artists. A new 4,600sqm indoor playscape opens November 21 with limited paid experiences. General admission is S$10 on weekdays and S$15 on weekends, with free entry for children under four, resort guests, and paid experience participants. All ticket proceeds support the President’s Challenge, matched dollar-for-dollar by Banyan Group, with additional contributions from Mandai Wildlife Group and government grants. Visitors receive up to 10% off at select outlets. The resort, the first in a major city’s world-class wildlife destination, emphasizes sustainable, nature-connected tourism.
