we just came back from our first trip to singapore a couple weeks ago. We spent a whole day at the zoo (fantastic!), and my kids (7 & 3) LOVED the water play area. It was so hot that day I was wishing I had brought my suit, too! I just watched them from the side. We also went to the Jacob Ballas Children's garden, but I wasn't that impressed by it. Maybe, because it was also such a hot day that it was too hard to be out there for too long. We spent a day at Universal Studios, but be forewarned that some attractions are still under construction, and so there are a lot of roller coasters that young kids can't go on, and not too many rides that they can. My 3 year old was tall enough to ride the small roller coaster in Far Far Away, but it was definitely too wild for her! (In fact, it made my 7 year old cry!) But the shows are great, especially the Donkey Live show. Hilarious. We also spent a day at Sentosa: Palawan beach (really good!!), went inside the Merlion, rode the skyride (kind of lame) and the Luge (Really fun!). I wish we had another day or two because there were so many fun things.
