Here is the list of the best places for children in Singapore
universal studios singapore
Universal Studios Singapore opened its doors in 2010 with 7 themed areas and offers countless attractions and shows, all related to the biggest hits of the movie studios. As the second Universal Studios theme park in Asia after Japan, Universal Studios Singapore covers an area of 20 hectares with 18 attractions unique to this park. It is recommended to plan a full day to explore the circular park and enjoy all the games and attractions it offers.
Changi Jurassic Mile
As you tour the Changi Airport Connector with your family, look out for the largest permanent outdoor exhibit of life-size dinosaurs in the city. The Changi Jurassic Mile is home to more than 20 different prehistoric colossal creatures, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptors and Parasaurolophus, the largest of which is about five meters tall. As you explore the grounds, keep an eye out for baby dinosaurs hatching from their giant eggs and try to spot all nine species along the one-kilometer jogging and biking trail.
Meet the animals at the Singapore Zoo
Considered one of the best zoos in the world, the Singapore Zoo is so cleverly designed that it looks like an open desert. You’ll see what we mean when you walk among orangutans swinging on vines, gaze across a moat at white Bengal tigers, or see pygmy hippos swimming through glass. The whole family will fall in love with all the furry (and scaly) animals here! Have you already visited the zoo? Don’t forget that River Wonders and Night Safari are also on your list to see even more animals!
Sentosa Island
Sentosa Island is a traveler’s dream come true, with attractions for the whole family! Sentosa Adventure Island, off the coast of Singapore, can be reached by bus, car, cable car (highly recommended!), and Sentosa Express. From aquariums, water parks and beaches to the world famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, this island has it all. One day may not be enough to see all the attractions, but you can get off to a good start by taking a cable car to the island. If you’re lucky, they’ll even serve you lunch in the air! Visit this Singapore attraction with children, they are sure to love it. The wax museum houses famous Indian and international stars. Try to discover Jackie Chan here!
Orchard Road Christmas Light
This 2.9km walk from Tanglin Mall to Plaza Singaporea along Orchard Road promises to be spectacular this year. It may be a little quieter since the block parties have been cancelled, but it’s still a great way to celebrate the end of the year. As reported by the Straits Times, this year’s installation includes up to 50 km of LED lights. The 2020 edition kicks off on November 13 and includes a virtual tour of the facility with 360-degree views!
gardens by the bay
Gardens by the Bay is a huge, colorful and futuristic park in the Singapore Bay Area. Among its most prominent features are the famous Supertree structures. These offer an impressive walkway over the gardens with large shell-shaped greenhouses that reproduce a cool mountain climate.
There are hundreds of trees and plants to explore, making Gardens by the Bay a great destination for children and adults, as well as those just looking for a break with stunning views.
wings of time show
A trip to Sentosa is incomplete without the Wings of Time show! Transport your children to a mythical dimension and watch their eyes widen in amazement as they enjoy the magnificent spectacle. Accompany Felix and Rachel, two curious and adventurous children, on an epic journey through time. This light, sound, laser, fire and water show takes place against the backdrop of Siloso Beach in Sentosa and is a must-see for anyone visiting Singapore with children. We won’t reveal any spoilers here, but prepare to be overwhelmed by magic!
Lake Jurong Gardens
Considered the largest inland natural wonderland, Jurong Lake Gardens is Singapore’s newest national garden and covers a whopping 90 hectares. In addition to the flora and fauna, the grounds have been specifically designed for families and the community to play, learn and gather. Kids can let off steam on the various obstacle courses, bounce off sunken trampolines, fly down a zip line and scale a tower to slide down a tube slide.
Explore a new neighborhood
Although we have already mentioned some favorite neighborhoods in our list of things to do in Singapore, there are many more where they come from. If you want to get back to nature, opt for beautiful Punggol in northeast Singapore. Or visit an old man in Ang Mo Kio, where the beautiful Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is located. You can fill most weekends with neighborhood shopping at Little Red Dot!
Picnics in the Botanical Garden
The Singapore Botanic Gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the gentle slope of Palm Valley (within the gardens) is arguably the best place for a family picnic in all of Singapore. If you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, find a spot for a slow picnic and explore the gardens. Here you’ll find the Jacob Ballas Kindergarten, a lake where you can feed Australian black swans, a rainforest area, and the world’s largest collection of orchids.
Skyline Toboggan Sentosa
It’s easy to see why Skyline Toboggan Run is always so popular. Bring the whole family and your adventurous friends for a leisurely run on four exciting toboggan runs – choose from the Dragon, Jungle, Kupu Kupu and Expedition tracks. Each track has specially designed features like hairpin turns, thrilling tunnels and thrilling descents. You will race through the lush tropical forests of Sentosa. When you reach the end of the trail, hop back on the Skyride to climb into the treetops to the starting point for views of the Singapore skyline and the South China Sea, and do it again.
