Singapore's three-star French room closed for three months at ten and came back warmer and more Asian, chilli crab in a mantou included. Book it for the occasion, and confirm the price first.
Singapore's most photographed terrace houses, with pintu pagar doors, majolica tiles and five-foot ways to read once you stop looking at the colours. Twenty minutes, from the pavement.
A free museum of one family's gems in a Perak Road shophouse, from how a stone forms to what the price tag pays for. Book a slot first; walk-ins aren't accepted.
Three sauropods for the photo, and a sperm whale found off Jurong Island with the better Singapore story. A rainy-weekend museum for children past the dinosaurs-are-big stage.
Most of the gardens are shut for repairs, but Hell's Museum and the Ten Courts are open on their own ticket, except on Mondays and dated closures. Check your date before you travel.
Once mocked as two copulating aardvarks, now the city's easiest night of culture: free sets by the water, proper shows when you plan ahead. Start with the calendar, not the postcard.
A science centre for 18 months to eight: gears, a dino pit, a pretend supermarket and a slide of nearly seven metres. Book a timed session first, even with an annual pass.
The 1977 building has a year or so left before the move across the lake to a Zaha Hadid home. Go now, pick two galleries and let the children press things.
There is no fixed ArtScience visit, only whatever is on that month. Choose one show before you choose the day, add teamLab downstairs if the budget stretches, then walk it off along the bay.
Contemporary art shown big, in a port warehouse that went from stopgap to home. Worth the bus ride on a wet afternoon; see Maria Taniguchi's Afterimage before 22 November.
Free for every visitor until 12 November while upstairs is changed over, so Level 1 is the whole show. Still book a slot, and expect under-fours to find less to do for now.
