Places to go as a family
-
Botanic Gardens is quite fun for a day of picnic right? Occasionally there are some concert performances too...
My family signs up for the annual zoo pass and we go to the zoo some weekends, just for say 2 hrs.

How about East Coast Park? Can try to build sandcastle together. There is sandcastle building workshop. Think near car park E2, the hawker there.Hello.. seeking for some ideas on where to go for a family day out from fellow parents here
Just planning to stay in Singapore (no sentosa/kusu island/pulau ubin etc), but don't want to go to shopping centres. I heard about macritchie and punggol parks being very fun, but I really have no stamina to walk long distances.
Where are some good places to hang out as a family? My kids are in their teens/twenties. -
Off the beaten-track :
- little India for non-Indians. Try city square mall and from there cross the street to mustaffa shopping centre. Lots of stuff to look at. If you are game, curry fish head at appollo banana leaf or at komala villas (Indian vegetarian restaurant - the batura, a huge puffed up ball of fried bread with mostly hot air inside is nice)
- and likewise, Chinatown, Arab street. Soak in the sights and sounds.
- Malay heritage centre. Then walk around the area. Nasi Padang, shops, the famous rich and good cake shop
- jalan around tiong bahru area. lots to eat too.
- Go for baking classes at phoon Huat
- serangoon gardens area, where chomp chomp is. Chomp chomp still has the old rustic character.
- Cycle / stroll at pasir ris park or east coast
- visit warehouse sales. Lots of advertisements in weekend papers.
- visit plant nurseries. Eg along Thomson road, many that you can hop in and out of. There’s a huge cold room you can walk in, at far east flora where they kept cut flowers. Brrrrrr. -
We always must go to the same places every weekend. My hubby likes routine and dont like to go new places. If I suggest new places, which is subject to his approval and if things dont turn up well, i will get blamed.

There are some parks/reservoirs that are very nice…Lorong Halus, pasir ris boardwalk, Changi boardwalk, lower pierce reservoir, upper pierce reservoir, hortpark, more adventurous can try tree top walk.

Sentosa
-
CHangi beach for a picnic, cycling, view aeroplanes, swimming, sand building…

Yah, when my children were younger (kindergarten age), I would bring them to the zoo practically every other Saturday as my wife needed to work. We were "Friends of the Zoo" then. We would usually be there for about 2.5 to 3 hrs each time and we always take a different area of the zoo to explore. They have a petting area where they can pat the rabbits, hamsters, and the chicks. But we will usually end at the water play area. To round off the day, we would usually have curly fries from the A&W. My children are grown now and at times they will recall and laugh over the fun times we had at the zoo. It warms my heart now each time they do this when, truth be told, actually during those times, I don’t know where to bring them to except to the zoo.
