Singapore - the city of lights and fun

 

Unlimited Fun, Frolic and Adventure at the Amusements Parks

The one-stop destination for fun and frolic in Singapore, Sentosa is not a new name for tourists travelling to Singapore. A conglomerate of rides, shops, restaurants and wildlife experiences, Sentosa is the place to be.

At the world famous Universal Studios, one can enjoy a spellbinding tour of most loved movies like Madagascar, Jurassic Park, Battlestar Gallectica, etc on the famous ‘Ride The Movies’ ride.

At the same time, a visit to the Dolphin Lagoon in Sentosa Island is your chance to spot beautiful pink dolphins and fur seals. Kids can also swim with the dolphins after the performance gets over. But this is only half of the fun you can have underwater with your kids.

Let your kids have the time of their life at the Dolphin Lagoon

This year there is also a range of new experiences planned at Sentosa Island till the end of the year. Be it a 4D experience with pirates where one accompanies them on the search for treasure and together escape barriers or making an army against bandits in the 4D interactive experience called Desperandoes; kids will love it through and through.

For some wonderful trekking experience, the Kid’s course is an excellent option. Organised by Forest Adventure in the Bedok Reservoir Park, Kid’s Course is an adventurous trek on trees, which the kids undergo all by themselves. It consists of rewarding crossings or tasks and parents can accompany their kids walking along a path.

If you are travelling to Singapore on your kid’s birthday make the day extremely special by throwing him/her a theme party and gifting a one-of-a-kind cake from Sugar Hugs or Dial-a-Cake - Singapore’s best cake stores.

Interacting with the Wildside of Singapore

One reason why Singapore ranks among the best international cities of the world is because of the balance it strikes between modern advancement and conservation of nature. Exploring the flora and fauna of Singapore is one of the most engaging experiences for kids.

For a highly educative and equally mesmerising experience, River Safari ought to be in your itinerary for it is Asia’s only river themed wildlife park which brings alive the habitat of famous rivers like Mississippi, Ganges, Amazon and their surrounding forests. This year, people are anticipating a whole new level of fun with the inauguration of the Amazon River Quest and a Panda Party to be held during 7-15th September.

Next stop is the Jurong Bird Park. Entering ‘The Jurong Bird Park’ feels like stepping into a kid’s bird book.  Hundreds of colourful birds that you might have never seen in your life can be seen soaring high or fluttering past you, in the lush green forest with a waterfall in the background. The High Fliers show is an enchanting experience watching a number of colourful parrots, pelicans and hornbills put up a mesmerising show in the sky!
