Everyone sings the praises of Singapore. It is a beautiful city where you can see the perfect marriage between the traditional values of the East and the ease of modern technology. There are many reasons as to why you should consider Singapore as a great family destination.
One of the main things about Singapore that impresses everyone at first glance is how clean the streets are. Followed by its safety. Young girls are walking around at night and there are no police visible, but they will be guaranteed to get home without being cat-called or bothered in any way. Alcohol is very expensive and there is no disorderly or drunken behaviour on the streets. The waters of the Marina Bay are completely clean as are the streets. So, if you are bringing children on your trip and don't want to be restricted to the confines of hotels in Orchard Road Singapore, you can safely take them out and about to explore.
There is so much to do and see in Singapore even a week in the city-state might not be enough. Whether you are visiting with small children, older children, your elderly relatives, friends or significant other you can fill your days with exciting things to do and still not have covered everything. There are also great accommodation options from Airbnbs to small inns and luxury hotels such as the Park Hotel Group.
Singapore is one of the countries that has perfected the art of harmonious living. Not only does it give priority to comfort and ease by using technology to build the best in transport and accommodation, but it also gives place to nature and the natural order. You will find that greenery is a big part of Singapore even if the entire city-state has been developed. Parks and modern installations such as the Gardens By the Bay really bring out what it means to be living in the 21st century.
The S.E.A Aquarium on Sentosa Island is one of the greatest aquariums in the world. The animals living in it are treated with dignity which is the first and most important thing. It is a great place to take your children. They will get to see all kinds of marine life up close including moray eels, stingrays, dolphins, jellyfish, sharks and more.
Another great place to explore with your children is the Singapore Zoo. It is nothing like the zoos you may think of. The animals have a great sense of freedom and plenty of space. There is a myriad of activities involving the animals that your kids can take part in so they can learn more about wildlife from a first-hand experience. One that is often recommended is Breakfast with Orangutans where you can actually get close enough for a photo with these fascinating apes.
