Imagine kicking off a vacation at the airport of your country of choice! Well then, here is what you will have access to no sooner you enter Jewel Changi Airport and beeline in the direction of Canopy Park. Given the plethora of experiences that await, you will find all the more reason to stay on for hours on end. Begin by bouncing on nets and thereafter, muster up all the courage in the world to make sense of numerous mazes that will appear worthy of your time but not before posing for a selfie with an animal topiary.
Nestled within Bedok Reservoir Park is the challenging yet enjoyable setting referred to by the name of Forest Adventure. More suited for those between 5 to 9 years of age, this exciting environment comprises 44 crossings and a further 3 zip lines that will have the little ones moving over the water. As an obstacle course, Forest Adventure sure does pull out all the stops and to cut a long story short, will see to it that your kids have one awesome experience. Be sure to capture every hair-raising moment on cam as the kids attempt to funnel their way through tunnels and scale ladders.
Be one with the ebbs and flows of the sublime environs of Dairy Farm Nature Park which is found 19.4 km from Hotel 81 Bugis which is a good hotel in Bugis Singapore to be based at. Perfect for relaxed journeying as well as an adrenaline-fuelled hiking expedition, Dairy Farm Nature Park covers an impressive 63 hectares. Among its notable offerings is a chance to learn of the landscapes through an array of exhibits and hands-on activities at Wallace Education Centre. What makes this attraction a sought-after outing is attributed to the volume of flora and fauna that you will have ease of access to. For example, head to the south-western portion of the Park where the beautiful Singapore Quarry will enable you to catch a glimpse of the endangered Little Grebe. Added to this, sightings of monkeys, red and yellow heliconias and butterflies are extremely common and pleasing to the eye.
Put on your skating shoes and feel as if you are competing at the Winter Olympics when at The Rink which is Singapore’s sole Olympic-sized ice skating rink. With its freezing conditions that stay on for the entirety of the year, The Rink paves the way for patrons and their loved ones to enjoy some respite from the heat outside. What’s more? You can learn the basics of ice skating and if you’re unsure of your next step, you can avail the services of an aid dressed as either a penguin or seal that will soon have you well on your way.
Encircled by the tranquil Gardens by the Bay is an outdoor playground called the Far East Organization Children’s Garden that does warrant visiting. Guaranteed to leave you soaked to the skin, this popular family leisure facility consists of stepping springs, jets and water tunnels to navigate. Even if you happen to be on holiday with your toddlers, the play zone can be zoned in on where you can easily keep an eye on them frolicking in their unique way.
