Want To Go ?

When my 8-year-old nephew returned from his Singapore holiday last summer, he had a bunch of stories to tell. He would keep me up at night and tell me all about his trip, right from the Museum of Toys and the cable car ride, to his adventures at the Water Park. I can happily conclude – that was his happiest holiday!

This summer vacation, instead of jotting down activities to keep your kids occupied, why not take them to Singapore? While kids will obviously have a great time, there is no dearth of activities for you too! Here’s all you can expect when you travel to Singapore along with your kids.

What’s in it For Your Kids...
