Travelling to Singapore in Feb 2009

[babi77]

Dear All,
I will be bringing my 2.10 years old to Singapore in FEb for 4 days 3 nights. Anything that we can go there to do, is it the Zoo and the Birdpark, also to Sentosa?

Any further tips and advice will be appreciated.

Regards
Babi

Yep, Sentosa Island is extremely child friendly. We stayed at the Resort there with our then 9 month year old. He loved the aquarium and there is also a dolphin show on the other side of the island. Are you staying in a hotel? If so, just ask them and they'll help you.

The night safari at the zoo is well worth seeing. The zoo isn't bad during the day either!

the singapore flyer is interesting too, but the night safari is definitely very interesting. the shang ri la hotel on sentosa is nice, very child friendly.

The Singapore Ducktours (Duck Boat Ride) is awesome. Our whole family loved it, especially my 4 years old daughter.

Hihi,

you could visit singapore tourism website. http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/index.html

in general, singapore is quite a family orientated island. the only thing is that singapore is pretty humid and hot as compare to hk now. so you might want to make sure your children are dressed for the right weather and stay hydrated.

Thanks a lot! I think I'll only go to the zoo in day time because my boy will skip his nap, so he has to sleep early at night. There should be lots of cuisine that is suitable for toddlers, right?

There's a wide range of food available as Singaporeans are eclectic in taste- chinese, malay, indian, japanese, korean, western. I would avoid some Indian and Malay foods (not ALL such foods are spicy but some are) but apart from that, it depends on what your toddler likes to eat!

My almost 2 year old LOVED the Zoo. We didn't plan long enough (should have done a whole day and taken her pram so she could sleep, rather than a 1/2 day). We just paid for a taxi from the hotel to save on the travel time and hassle. Best zoo I have been to yet! Have only been to those in Aust. China and Sing though! Have a great time - I really enjoy my stays in Singapore.

The botanic garden is worth a visit. There are nice outdoor cafes and a really beautiful orchid garden. Plenty of space for kids to explore. It's near the Orchard Rd shopping area too, so it's super convenient. Taxis are abundant and cheap and drivers generally speak good english.
