Things to see and do with kids in Singapore
Singapore is a great city for kids on holiday, compact and
brimming with varied and excited attractions, some uniquely
Asian.
For a great day with the family head to the Singapore Zoological
Gardens where the kids can bond with animals such as Komodo
dragons, polar bears and orangutans, or head to the Jurong Bird
Park to marvel at the hundreds of pink flamingoes. For a more
relaxed day, pack a picnic and visit the Singapore Botanical
Gardens where kids will have plenty of room to stretch their legs
and let off a bit of steam. The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is a
wonderful place to spend the day and children will be guaranteed to
be amazed by this verdant wonderland.
On rainy or cold days when outdoor activities with kids are not an
option, head to an indoor playground like eXplorerkid in downtown
east, the Fun Maze at Tampines Mall, or Fidgets, Singapore's
largest indoor playground which also includes baby and toddler play
areas. With all these options and more, kids will have a great time
exploring the city of Singapore.
