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.

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.

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.

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.
