Singapore For Kids

Places,Activities, Events & Happenings in Singapore to Keep Your Kids Entertain

There are a lot of places in Singapore that you can keep your kids entertain. This lens is going to show you a big list of things you can do with your kids and all the places you can go with your kids. We have category the list into indoor activities and outdoor activities. I hope that you will find this lens useful when you are traveling to Singapore.

Singapore for Kids used to be a very long lens. I have spit this lens into 3 so that it is more focus now. Please visit Singapore School Holidays Activities for more activities and events for kids during a school holiday and Nursing/Breastfeeding Rooms in Singapore.

About me

I am mom to a 3 year old kid staying in Singapore. I like to expose my son to new places with new activities all the time and I am always on a lookout for new places and events to visit. Although Singapore is pretty small compare to a lot of countries, the amount of activities found here are more than enough to keep you busy.

I have written this guide from a view point of a Singaporean staying in Singapore. My guide here might be very different from a guide that is provided for a tourist. If you are adventurous enough, you may want to use my guide.

Outdoor Places for Kids

Here are some interesting outdoor places in Singapore for kids. Some are built for kids, other are suitable for kids and adults.

Singapore Zoo's Rainforest Kidzworld is part of Singapore Zoo. The entrance fee to Rainforest Kidzworld is free but you will still have to pay for the main entrance fee at the main zoo.
West Coast Park: There are sand, playground, sand, beaches, sand, more playgrounds, sand, cycling tracks, more sand, grass patches for kite flying and soccer games, and more sand.
Pasir Ris Park: There are lots of playgrounds here. You can rent a bicycle or you can choose to build a sand castle on the beach.
Jacob Ballas Children's Garden is Asia's first children's garden. Dedicated to all children of Singapore, it is designed to provide unique discovery and learning experiences in a garden setting. However, it is best that you print out the map provided at the website before you board a taxi. The place is quite new and most of our taxi drivers do not know how to get there. If he drop you at the main entrance of Botanic Garden, you will have to walk a long long long long long way to Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.
Bottle Tree is not built for children, but there is a fishing pond that all kids will go crazy and out of control. For $10 (if they have not increase the price), you will get a little net and a little fish tank. They have a sign board that said you can have 5 fishes in one tank only, but nobody read the signs. The owner of Bottle Tree is also generous to let children and adult to scoop all the fishes that they want.
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a nature park with mangroves, back mangroves, secondary forest, herbs and spices garden, and freshwater pond.

Bambini Playclub Pte Ltd has an indoor playground with a big maze for kids aged 3-10 years. It is a good place for parents to drop their kids there while you go shopping.
Explorer Kid has a bigger indoor playground than Bambini. Beside the big maze and several playground, you can hold birthday parties there too. There are always activities and event for the kids. Check their websites to find their latest happenings.
The Kiddy Palace in Marina Square has display a few big toys and slide for kids to "try them on". Right outside the kid's department store, there are a few kiddies rides too. My son refuse to give anything a miss whenever he come to this place.
Ikea Tampines has a play room. You can leave your kids there while you shop for your furniture. Their restaurant has play "things" around and there was a round play "yard" right in the middle.
Singapore Science Centre at 15 Science Centre Road, tel: 64252500

Admission to Science Centre is $6 (adults) and $3 (children, 3 to 6 years old).
Outdoor Water and Dry Playground at IMM: You can choose to get wet or stay dry at this playground. However, there was not changing room at the playground when I last visited and you are not allow to step into the shopping mall when you are all wet. The signboard said that the wet playgrounds are for kids only, so I think they do not expect any adult to need a change.
Outdoor Playground at Sembawang Shopping Centre: It has a cover playground and a wet playground that operate during certain time of the day.
Atlantis City at Delta Sports Complex is similar to Explorer Kids but smaller. Their play system are designed for children to have fun physical play in a safe, clean and conducive environment. They also provide comprehensive birthday party packages to give your child an unforgettable birthday.

No special skills, training or fitness level is required...just come ready for lots of fun and challenges!
I am not sure if I should put the playground at VivoCity as an outdoor playground or an indoor playground. Anyway, most of the playground in the 2nd level are dry playground. There is a small portion of the playground that you can get wet. If you head up to the 3rd level at the Sky Park, your kids will get really wet with all that open area play pools at the size of four Olympics sized swimming pools. No swim wear is required.
