Favourite local places to bring your children

[skylights101]

Hi everyone,

What are some of the places in Singapore that parents can bring their children to during the weekends or holidays?

I will state some of my ideas. Hope you guys can share yours too!

1. Changi Airport
- New four storey slide at T3 (2 free rides can be redeemed for every $30 spent)
- Shorter slide at basement 2 of T3 (free)

indoor activities: http://singaporeforkids.com/things_see_do/indoor.php
outdoor activities: http://singaporeforkids.com/things_see_do/outdoor.php

and many more ideas on that website. there's also a book called "fun for kids in singapore". worth getting a copy as it's quite comprehensive, including where to go for all sorts of enrichment lessons and camps for kids.

@LovingMyLittleMan, 4 out of 6 of your total posts at the moment make a reference to Peek-A-Boo. May I suggest you rethink your posting strategy to avoid the inconvenience of your account being locked?

We visited last weekend a place called Kid's Kampong. (http://www.prkidskampong.com/). Children can there interact with or see some small farm animals. It is a very basic setting but the entrance is $1 per person only and there are not that many similar places in Singapore. Within the area of probably 30m x 10m there are some caged or fenced rabbits, ducks, hens/roosters, parrots and freely accessible to the kids tons of koi fish in a shallow pond. The price include a small bag of food for the animals. You can easily google out some family blogs with photos to get a better idea.
