Family activities for Family in Singapore

In the past, I went to Singapore twice with my family. So, I will recommend you to come there and play it if you want to travel Singapore with your family.
A modern horticultural attraction, Gardens by the Bay features “Supertrees” that stretch up to 50 meters into the sky (great for stunning panoramic views), two giant domed conservatories with 226,000 plants, and plenty of gardens and beautiful green spaces for the whole family, and especially the young ones, to get in touch with nature and learn more about all sorts of flora and fauna. Also, look out for the Children’s Garden, set to open its doors to budding botanists soon.


The largest bird park in the world, Jurong Bird Park is a hillside haven for 5,000 birds across 400 stunning species. Highlights include the Waterfall Aviary, the world’s largest walk-in aviary with more than 600 free flying birds, penguin feeding and lory feeding experiences, where you’ll be able to feed countless colorful, friendly birds.


Launched in 2012, this leisure center is home to the stunning S.E.A. Aquarium™, the biggest oceanarium in the world. It features more than 800 species of marine animals such as manta rays and sharks. You’ll also find the Adventure Cove Waterpark™, which houses the Riptide Rocket thrill ride and lets you snorkel and get up close with 20,000 fish at the Rainbow Reef.


Singapore’s Night Safari was the first in the world to showcase wildlife in a nocturnal environment and has over 2,500 animals (more than 30 percent of which are threatened) roaming the compounds. Of note is their new Wallaby Trail, a multi-sensory experience highlighting the unique and exotic wildlife of the Australasian region such as the Bennett’s wallaby from Australia and the white-lipped python from Papua New Guinea.


One of Sentosa’s latest attractions, Port of Lost Wonder is Singapore’s first beachside kids’ club that celebrates the spirit of exploration. Divided into five main zones, Connection (home to the biggest water-play area in the country), Independence, Curiosity (a gardening area), Wonder and Simplicity, there’s an endless range of unforgettable family activities to look forward to.


Nestled between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari is the new River Safari, Asia's first and only river-themed wildlife park. Get up close and personal with over 5,000 aquatic and terrestrial creatures as you explore eight regions that are home to river-dwelling animals like the giant salamander and the giant river otter. Also, don’t miss the must-visit Giant Panda Forest, where the adorable Kai Kai and Jia Jia live.

Covering a wide range of topics related to science, technology and mathematics, Singapore Science Centre features over 850 interactive exhibits housed in 14 galleries which explain scientific principles and many of the world’s great mysteries. Another noteworthy draw is its IMAX theater, with a five-story domed screen.


Located next to the Night Safari, Singapore's “open concept” zoo set in a rainforest environment hosts over 2,800 specimens from over 300 species. Highlights include white tigers, elephants, orang utans and more recently, giant pandas. There are also features like a massive playground at Rainforest Kidzworld and the ever-popular horse carriage ride. 


If the heat’s getting too much for you, then head to Snow City for some nice cool weather. At the first indoor snow facility in Singapore, you can go skiing, snow tubing and snowboarding on an exhilarating 60-meter, three-story high slope in the five degree Celsius Snow Chamber.


Enjoy a slice of Tinseltown-laced Americana at Singapore's largest theme park, with seven different entertainment zones and 24 movie-related rides and attractions. The rides, shows, stores and photo-ops with huggable characters like Shrek and Kungfu Panda all make for an incredible day out. Regardless of age, this unique theme park in Asia is a must-visit.


If you travel to Singapore.. Hope you have a nice trip =]

德昌魚蛋粉縱然全港共有三家分店• 始終以九龍城店的質素最有保證。 此店天天客似雲來, 大多是為了其招牌手打魚蛋及魚片而來魚蛋的口感甚為爽彈更可嘗到魚肉本身的鮮甜。

吃時肉汁澎湃,很好!
