A delightful nature sanctuary that will leave your kids awe-struck, this world of wonder hosts the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest conservatories as well as the interactive Children's Garden which includes water play areas and adventure trails. Every evening, a light and sound show called Garden Rhapsody comes alive at the iconic Supertree Grove. The popping colours on the Supertrees will hold your kids' attention while you get to immerse yourself in a sensational musical experience depending on each month's theme. For example, the July show takes on the theme of "An Evening of Musical Theatre" where local artists' renditions of popular theatre music like "I Dream a Dream" and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" are played against the backdrop of bewitchingly illuminated Supertrees.

Your bucket list of Singapore Top Things to Do simply isn't complete without including River Wonders, the first and only river-themed wildlife reserve in Asia. This wildlife park is only half an hour away from hotels in the city including Pan Pacific Singapore. Staying in the city is the easiest way to go to different destinations when an entire family has to get ready in the morning. With over 6000 animals belonging to different habitats from all corners of the globe, be it the Ganges, Amazonian, Congo, Yangtze, Nile and Mekong rivers, this freshwater theme park is a fascinating experience for kids. The adventurous exploration includes a boat ride in the Amazon River Quest where you might spot jaguars and Brazilian tapirs. You can also meet Singapore's giant pandas at River Wonders.

Pack a picnic basket and head to Marina Barrage for a fun-filled day of outdoor adventure. This location is one of the ideal places for your kids to run free and have fun. Singapore has managed to transform its 15th reservoir into a hub of excitement. The reservoir itself has set the stage for water sports like dragon boat racing and kayaking. You can also head to the rooftop which is a lush green space where families fly kites and relax as they admire the stunning cityscape and the sparking waters of Marina Bay. In the evening, you can watch a splendid sunset with your kids and capture golden moments on camera. The best part is that this attraction is totally free and close to other attractions like Gardens by the Bay.

A family trip to Singapore is incomplete without a dip into the authentic flavours of its culinary extravaganza. What better way to do it than by letting your kids have the opportunity to discover local flavours and ingredients in a Singaporean kitchen! They'll be thrilled to work alongside a local chef in a real kitchen and will thoroughly enjoy engaging with different people they meet there. You too can delight your taste buds by learning to whip up traditional Singaporean dishes like chicken rice, laksa, nasi lemak, satay or chilli crab. At the end of the day, you'll get to enjoy a delicious homemade meal together as a family.

There are plenty of fun things to do at Sentosa Island with your kids. You can fly down a zip line that is 75 metres high over a jungle canopy or you can hop onto the Skyline Luge and race down four themed trails called Dragon, Race, Kupu Kupu and Jungle. For a less pumped-up activity, head to Nestopia which has netted obstacle courses in an open-air play space with two of the longest slides on the islands. Kids can enjoy face painting, balloon twisting and keychain-making sessions that are organized in this playground. Head over to an inflatable water park called Hydrodash where both adults and children can enjoy trying to maintain their balance on a series of inflatable obstacles ranging from balance beams to slides and trampolines floating on the water. Universal Studios Singapore is also located on this gorgeous island.
