Before you go
Can adults enter the Far East Organization Children's Garden alone?
No, adults can only go in with a child aged 12 or younger, because the garden is designed for children up to 12. Admission is free, and the garden is for water play, tree houses and educational programmes. Visitors without children will want another part of the Gardens.

What ages are the Children's Garden play areas for?
The Toddler Play Zone is for ages 1 to 5, while the Rainforest Tree Houses and the Water Play area are for ages 6 to 12. The tree houses are a 130-metre forest trail of ropes, ladders and slippery dips. Mixed-age families can split between zones, and Singapore with kids has more ideas.

Which entrance do I use for the Children's Garden?
Use the entrance near the Sun Pavilion. The old entrance along the Waterfront Promenade is closed while the Bay South to Bay East bridge is built, so head for the Sun Pavilion side. Entry is free and last admission is at 6pm, so aim to be at the gate before then.

When is the Children's Garden open and when does water play end?
In term time the garden opens from Thursday to Sunday and on public holidays, 9am to 7pm, with last admission at 6pm and water play closing at 6.30pm. In school holidays it opens from Tuesday to Sunday on the same hours. It closes on a Tuesday that follows a public or school holiday Monday, so check the day before you bring children.
