Singapore is brimming with all kinds of attractions and sightseeing options imaginable. Family travellers who are booking tickets aboard flights to this island nation are sure to be amazed with the options it has to provide.
They are not just any other sightseeing spots; these two places in Singapore are an entire world in themselves. Everything you can ever desire from a kid-friendly place is available here. Perhaps that is the reason why a large number of family travellers who book tickets on flights arriving in Singapore choose to visit these places. Without further ado, here is a quick look at them both.
Sentosa Island
If you were to visit just one place in Singapore with your kids, look no further than the world famous Sentosa Island. There is a reason why more than 20 million visitors book tickets on flights to Singapore each year to visit this place. Packed with a galaxy of entertainment activities and other attractions, the island is a paradise for anyone who wishes to have fun after having invested on flights and holidays.
One of the most highly rated attractions for kids here is the Skyline Luge. It is an amazing wheeled gravity ride that offers riders complete control over their descent on the tracks. Stretched across about 1.2 kilometres, this is an attraction to be enjoyed with whole family.
The island also takes pride in having Singapore’s first kids’ club by the beach – Port of Lost Wonder. It is a perfect place for kids of all ages as the area is designed to offer a unique experience that can be enjoyed with entire family. Sentosa 4D AdventureLand is another attraction kids will not stop talking about. It features three shows and, as the name itself suggests, all in 4D. Kids can explore the adventurous life of pirates in Pirates 4D movie, enjoy a simulation ride in Extreme Log Ride 4D and have fun with a shoot-out game in Desperados Interactive 4D, setting flights to their fancies! There is also a Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom in case your children wish to explore something ‘natural’.
Not just the attractions of the island, even getting here is fun. Visitors can enjoy a cable car ride, having a bird’s eye view of the city. Finally, do not miss out on a visit the incredible movie-theme park of Universal Studios – a visit to this park alone is worth spending on your entry tickets to the island.
Singapore Zoo
Admired as one of the most beautiful wildlife park settings in the world, Singapore Zoo is a must visit for anyone who loves animal kingdom and nature. The park is stretched across 26 hectares, boasting 2,800 animals, over 300 species of mammals, birds and reptiles; every corner of the park is worth visiting. Due to a large number of kid-friendly attractions and activities, Singapore Zoo easily wins the heart of its little visitors. The elevated platforms offer best views to the children while visiting the giraffe exhibit and underwater galleries of otters, pygmy hippos and giant estuarine crocodiles.
There are two options to explore the park – guided trams and on foot. Guided trams are great for first time travellers who bought tickets as it offers a great insight to this amazing wildlife habitat where you can explore everything, from lions, zebras and rhinoceroses to the colony of Hamadryas baboons.
Not only that, the zoo is also popular for its walk-through exhibits that help your kid understand the animal life from up-close. Feed the free-ranging kangaroos out of your palms, stroll into the enormous diversity of the amazing rainforest named Fragile Forest where you can spot the lesser mousedeer, ring-tailed lemur, two-toed sloth and many other animals. It is entertaining and educational at the same time.
The Zoo also offers Night Safari and River Safari, both are unique, equally fascinating and perfect to explore with the family.
