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.
