The 10 Best Places to Visit in Singapore with Kids

I said we were going East, and here we are in Singapore! Here are The 10 Best Places to Visit in Singapore with Kids.   

Now that we’ve visited Africa, the UK and the North Americas (the US and Canada), it seems only fitting that we head off to the East. Singapore has become not only a travel hot spot but a home to a lot of expats from around the world. There seem to be hundreds of thousands families now visiting Singapore. With this in mind, we had to include The 10 Best Places to Visit in Singapore with Kids on our World Tour. 

I’m so grateful to Lup for not freaking out when I stalked her on Facebook and asked her to help us out. Lup agreed to put together this fabulous post on Singapore with kids. 

After you’ve seen these pictures and looked into Singapore, I am sure it may just be your next family holiday destination. 

 

The 10 Best Places to Visit in Singapore with Kids

Is always so easy and flexible to travel on your own or with friends. You can go shopping, walk for long distance and exploring different places. But when it comes to bringing the kids out, we all know how that goes. That is a whole new twist to travel plan. Places have to be fun and interesting. They also have to be safe for the kids.

I’ve put together The 10 Best Places to Visit in Singapore with Kids with both indoor and outdoor activities.

 

Fret not! Singapore has loads of fun places for the kids and family to explore! Let’s take a look at these places and don’t forget to mark it down if you are planning a trip to Singapore 😉

1.  Visit Singapore Zoo.

The most popular place to visit in Singapore has to be the zoo.

Kids who love animals will definitely love it. There are many interesting things and animals to explore. You get to feed the animals at certain time of the day too.

Now you even get to dine with the orangutans and take a pic together with them! How awesome is that?

 

2.   Spend some time at ACRES with the rescued animals.

ACRES stands for the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society. It is a non-governmental organisation and a registered animal welfare charity with the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth in Singapore.

This is a great place where kids get to learn more about wildlife rescue. It houses animals, including tortoises, turtles and iguanas, that were rescued from illegal wildlife trade. You can get more information off the ACRES website.

 

3. Garden by The Bay

If you’ve seen pictures of people on holiday to Singapore, they probably have a photo of Garden by the Bay. It’s iconic. This is a beautiful nature park spanning 101 hectares of reclaimed land in the Central Region of Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir.

It is rated one of the top 3 things to do in Singapore. Family gets to explore the greens and dry/wet playground.

Here is a calendar of events where you can check out what’s going on during the period that you are travelling. Be sure to check it out before you visit.

 

 

4.   Discover Singapore’s Stunning Beaches.

The Sentosa Beaches are the best. You can unwind at beach clubs, engage in water sports or team bonding activities. There is so much to do at Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong Beach.

Parents can opt to build sandcastle with their kids or just chill and relax by the beach.

There are cafes by the side where you can “eye power” them while chill.

5.  Take a TreeTop Walk

The MacRitchie Reservoir TreeTop Walk is a refreshing and beautiful place where you can connect with nature.

It is really quite big and at certain part of the area is difficult to navigate so make sure you know where you’re going. We have seen lots of families carrying young kids and exploring  while it remains exciting for the older kids.

You should visit the Parks Website for more details before going to MacRitchies.

 

6.  The Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden

We love The Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden! We’ve found it especially great for we want to have Science lesson out of the classroom and learning about nature.

 

It is the first garden in Asia dedicated to children. Its theme of ‘Life on Earth Depends on Plants’ aims to educate and instil a love for nature in children. Now you know why we love it.

 

The garden is a complete nature-learning environment, where children can delve deeper into the ecology of plants and our environment but through discovery and experiential learning.

 

 

7.  Kidzania Theme Park 

Kidzania Singapore is an interactive indoor theme park located in Sentosa. Why interactive, because it provides inspiration and fun learning through realistic role-play.

Kids get to independently explore the 81,000 square feet kid-sized city. It is complete with buildings, paved streets, vehicles and a functioning economy and is just like in a real world!

Kidzania is suited for children aged 4 to 17.

You can get all the information you need from the Kidzania website.

 

8.  National Gallery and their Children’s Festival

Want to explore more about modern Southeast Asian art? Then head over to National Gallery Singapore where they feature Singapore and Southeast Asian art from Singapore’s National Collection in its long-term and special exhibitions. On top of that, it works with international museums to jointly present Southeast Asian art in the global context, positioning Singapore as a regional and international hub for the visual arts.

 

Every year, there will be a theme catered for the kids during the children’s festival.  Do check out their website and plan ahead. You can check out what’s on on the National Gallery Website. It will definitely be a fun and artistic experience for both the adults and kids.

The kids will love getting to tinker and explore all things related to the world of Science.
