I will usually bring my boys to universal studio, zoo and river safari cos we bought annual passes. Cheaper and more convenient. Don’t need to queue for tickets.

There are actually a lot of programmes for kids this June holidays. I totally agree with u that parents need to spend as time time as possible with the kids. But some parents have to spend long hours in their jobs. So really have to plan and manage their time between work and family.

Here are a few places that i love to go with my kids to spend time with: Universal Studios Singapore, Wild Wild Wet and Children’s Garden at Gardens by the Bay.

Never thought that a one week camp could be such a confidence booster! Now, I think I'm going to enrol her into their regular drama classes...

Just went to http://www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/the-gardens/whats-on/calendar-of-event/Tulipmania-2015-Details.html at Gardens by the Bay during Easter weekend.


The floral display runs till 10 May 2015 and is captivating for those who love tulips. The rates (normal admission charges to the Flower Dome) are also fairly reasonable with discounts for local residents and holders of OCBC credit card.

From 1 July to 31 September, students can take a ride on the Singapore Flyer at $15 on weekdays. They must bring original Student ID card.

Thought it is a good deal since it is the school holidays now.
