Things to do with kids in Singapore

Singapore is good at days out with children, from wildlife parks to a mini city where kids run the jobs. The list below covers zoos and aviaries for the whole family, hands-on science and indoor play for the under-tens, and waterparks and high-ropes courses for children with energy to burn.

Pair one big outing with one easy one. A park with a playground costs nothing and gives everyone a breather between ticketed days, and several of the museums here keep a gallery built for children.

Singapore ZooTickets

Singapore Zoo

Open-concept rainforest zoo at Mandai

Full day·Mandai·From S$49

Our pick

Singapore Zoo is the Mandai park we'd choose if the kids only get one. It's a rainforest zoo with open enclosures and a tram included, and it opens at 8.30am, so arrive while it's still cool. Non-resident tickets start at S$49 for an adult and S$34 for a child.

If your children are eight or under, KidsSTOP is built for them, with timed play sessions. KidsSTOP
