Top 10 Kid-Approved Adventures in Singapore Despite Singapore being known as a hub for international business, banking and fine art, there are plenty of fun activities for kids to do on the Little Red Dot. Here are my family’s top ten recommendations. #1 The Singapore Zoo. Take a walk on the wild side and visit one of the best zoos in the world! Become a “Friend of Wildlife,” aka an annual passholder. You can visit the zoo again and again and it never gets old. An annual pass also gives you access to Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park and River Safari, all kidapproved fun spots! Tip: Pre-book animal feedings for Instagram-worthy photos. #2 The Night Safari. Although mentioned above, the Night Safari deserves its own spot in the top 10. The world’s first nocturnal wildlife park, it has won Best Attraction from the Singapore Tourism Board 13 times. It’s exciting to see wildlife come alive at night!

#4 Gardens by the Bay. Climb the awe inspiring, mistfilled Cloud Mountain. Splash around the Children’s Garden. Brave the Skywalk between the super cool Supertrees. Then stay around after dark to enjoy Garden Rhapsody, where the Supertrees light up and dance to music. Tip: Bring a towel and a sweater. The kids will get wet in the Children’s Garden, and you will be chilly in the domes.

#3 Sentosa Staycay. Choose from several topnotch resorts and visit at least one of Resort World’s signature attractions: Universal Studios, Adventure Cove Waterpark and the S.E.A. Aquarium. My kids’ favorite Sentosa activity is riding the luge. Recommended add-on: Make the journey there part of the fun by taking the Singapore Cable Car. The view is spectacular! -- 24 --
#5 Marina Bay Roll. Rent a bike or bring your scooters and roll around Marina Bay. You can make a complete three-kilometer circuit past the Merlion, over the Esplanade Bridge, through the Float at Marina Bay, across the Helix Bridge, alongside Marina Bay Sands and the Fullerton Bay Hotel, until you’re back at the Merlion. There are lots of great pitstops along this route. Recommended add-on: Dine at the Makansutra Gluttons Bay Hawker Centre. AWA Annual Issue 2020-2021
