Taking your kids to Museums :)

[chenSee]

Going on field trips is quite normal for our kids. But you can also take your children on field trips on your own right? :imcool: . Can you suggest some good museums where i can take my princess..

Singapore Arts Museum is quite good, they have some activities for the young!

I am the one who likes to go museum, kids just have to follow.


I quite like the peranakan museum - my kids loved thundering up and down the staircases. the building is well preserved and there are interesting exhibits. also, they have stampers at different places and kids find it fun to collect all the imprints (the press type thing that imprints a mark on paper…sorry, not sure what the name is).

National Museum also big enough for them to run around (not that they are supposed to). They have now a singapore story or something, it’s quite nice. Showcases singapore in the past and I faintly recall there are plenty of experiential stuff the kids can do.

You can try and coincide your museum trips with special events there, in case you're worried the kids will get restless. I was at The National Museum just last weekend for the http://www.public-garden.com/, tons of fun! And you get free admission to the museum, my kids really enjoyed it. Although I don't think Public Garden will be at NMS again next month, I'm sure there will be other fun events for families if you plan ahead.


Someone mentioned the Peranakan Museum, which I also love. But if you've been there before, something different to try is the http://www.nus.edu.sg/cfa/museum/about.php. They hold different Baba-themed exhibitions throughout the year, so very much worth visiting.

Have fun!

It depends on what target area you are looking for. I prefer you go to the nearest museum on your place.. less hassle and you can spend more time inside the museum
