20 Fun Things To Do In Singapore With Kids


Singapore is the ultimate place whether you are going on a family vacation, a trip with friends, or solo exploration. With its unique culture, skyscrapers with peculiar designs, modern architecture, and efficient public transport scheme, it’s one of the best places for families. I went there alone, with my friends, with my family, with my husband, and with my kids.

I have traveled to Singapore more than 10 times in the past 8 years – that’s how much I love the country. And I am sure I will visit again in the future.

20 fun things to do in Singapore with kids:

1. Universal Studios Singapore

Who doesn’t love Universal Studios? I’ve been there 4 times already and I never get tired of it! It is a place where all age groups in the family will enjoy. There are 7 zones: Madagascar, Jurassic Park, Far Far Away, Egypt, Sci-Fi, Transformers, and Hollywood.

3. Singapore Flyer

The Singapore Flyer takes you on a 30-minute ride. You see the amazing Singapore skyline from above and other attractions like Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands from a different angle. Whether you go at daytime or nighttime, both views are breathtaking. It is not too fast and not too slow, enough for you to take lots of photos.

4. Singapore Cable Car

Considered as one of the most sophisticated cable car systems in Asia, it is the first aerial ropeway in the world to span a harbor connecting Mainland Singapore to Sentosa Island. Enjoy the picturesque view of Singapore in a cable car while passing through the different landscapes, beaches, attractions, and theme parks.

 

5. Singapore Zoo

This is a fun and educational activity for the kids. My son had a great time identifying animals. A little unfortunate event where I got allergies when I used one of their restrooms. Maybe I touched something I am unknowingly allergic to, my hand was swelling. Their first aid team responded quickly and even contacted me the next day to know how I was doing.

Another way to see the city is by the Segway Tour. You will need to fill out papers and undergo training. The minimum age for this tour is 15 years old. This has mixed positive and negative reviews. It is fun, but because of the 30-minute time limit, it is not enough. Make sure you read all the fine details before booking.

  1. This a fabulous list on things to do, so often when i arrive somewhere I get analysis paralysis on what to do when I am there. If anyone is visiting Singapore they should check out this list and will be on their way to a good time! I was surprise by so many unique art features that are around to see, I really need to start looking for more art places to visit when out and about.
