Chinatown: chicken rice, a temple, snow ice
Chicken rice at Maxwell before the lunch rush, a Tang-style temple with a rooftop prayer wheel, then snow ice on Temple Street. Three stops a short walk apart; not on a Monday.

Changi Village: museum, nasi lemak, beach
The war at Changi told through what internees kept, nasi lemak with the Ubin ferry crowd, then jets low over the sand. Make it a half-day, and not a Monday.
- Where: Changi
East Coast with kids: wheels, water and wings
A 280-metre practice loop for wobbly cyclists, Singapore's tallest outdoor slide, then charcoal wings by the sea. Effort first, food last, and nobody minds damp hair.
- Where: East Coast
Kid-friendly by neighbourhood
Mandai wildlife parks
Pick the Mandai park you actually want and do it properly. Trying to cover them all in one day leaves nobody with energy for the last one.
- 4 picks
Sentosa
Pick one Sentosa: beach, heritage, sea life, waterpark or rides. Trying to do three in a day is how a family ends up silent on the way home.
- 5 picks
West-side family day
Pick one anchor: Jurong Lake Gardens and Forest Ramble for an outdoor day, or Science Centre and KidsSTOP for a wet one. Not all four in an afternoon.

Let the kids choose
