Ideas for a day out together.
Check age guidance, facilities and opening times before visiting.

Places only match a date when their opening days are confirmed. Ages are a guide from the venue or organiser where they give one. Typical spend per person, in Singapore dollars.

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.
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.
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.
Ask them first: climbing, experimenting, animals or stories. Then book one anchor activity and leave the rest of the afternoon for snacks.
‘Good for kids’ covers everyone from toddlers to teenagers, which is the problem. Choose the session, route or activity for the children actually coming with you.
