Looking for a way to beat the heat and take the kids to a place they can have lots of fun? If so, these water parks in Singapore are perfect and the best thing is, entrance is free! From jet fountains to fascinating water features they offer diverse attractions to play in.
This popular water play area is at East Coast Park which itself is a well-known spot for families to enjoy relaxation and recreation. The Coastal PlayGrove features a section with water jets that kids will love running through. There are also a couple of wading pools as well as streams that provide more water-based fun ideal for children from 5 to 12 years of age. The water play area is accessible to those on wheelchairs too and is amongst the many attractions for kids at East Coast Park including the Play Tower, the tallest outdoor play feature in Singapore.
Suitable for children 12 years and below, the Far East Organisation Children's Garden is a free to access attraction at Gardens by the Bay. Within easy reach for those at Queenstown-based 4-star hotels in Singapore, this lovely garden includes water play features complete with water tunnels and jets. Those with little ones from 1 to 5 years old can take them to the Toddler Play Zone, while the Water Play section is ideal for those between the ages of 6 and 12 years; this area is connected to sensors and offers various water effects depending on the movement of a child.
Amongst the best things to do in Singapore for families is to enjoy a fun day out at the Marina Barrage reservoir area. Apart from offering water sports such as kayaking, it is also home to the Marina Barrage Water Playground that can be easily accessed from city properties such as Park Hotel Alexandra. There are several features here that kids are bound to love; these include jets of water that create a kind of tunnel for one to run through, the Fountain Square with numerous water fountains and a spot with bubbling fountains ideal for toddlers.
More water-based fun awaits at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park known for its idyllic greenery, waterways and pond gardens. This site's special water playground gives kids a chance to learn something as well; this section features various channels and draining systems as well as small sluice gates that can be controlled by children to let them direct the flow of water. There is also a structure with small water sprouts and foam mounds at this playground as well.
One of the national gardens in Singapore, Lakeside Garden is in Jurong and has lots of play areas including Clusia Cove with various water features; this includes its sand play pool and tidal play pool which kids are bound to love. Located at the garden's northern end, this section provides a unique setting to see water movements that showcase everything from directional currents to tidal patterns. There are gates and levers here too that provide a more interactive element where children can witness what happens when the flow of water is changed.
