VISIT: SINGAPORE ZOO
FUN FACTOR: One of Singapore’s
most prized attractions, the zoo
has more than 3,000 animals in
enclosures akin to their natural
habitats. The park has shaded
boardwalks where you can watch
the largest land mammals, such
as white tigers and sun bears, or
rub noses with swimming polar
bears (through the pool’s glass of
course!). You can even walk into
the ring-tailed lemurs’ Fragile
Forest and pat them as they nibble
on fruit. If you’re lucky, you’ll also
spot orangutans roaming around.
DON’T MISS: Have breakfast with
the orangutans at the Jungle
Breakfast with Wildlife. There are
also many entertaining animal
performances throughout the day,
and when you need to cool down,
the fun and games of Kidzworld
waterpark awaits.

FUN FACTOR: Spend a day having
a tidal wave of fun with the kids
at the country’s largest water
theme park. Try out key
attractions like the Ular-lah, a
six-seater raft slide where you can
expect high banked corners and
360-degree spins as you race to
the fi nish line. Everyone will enjoy
fl oating along the meandering
335m Shiok River. Or check
out The Waterworks — a highspeed
luge ride with unexpected
corners and crazy turns. Lockers,
changerooms, life jackets and food
outlets mean everyone can enjoy
the whole day here.
DON’T MISS: The Professor’s
Playground or Sp!ash are two
safe, interactive waterplay
stations that will keep your little
ones occupied while you take a
breather on the pool loungers.
