Here, you can explore gardens with healing plants that are used to make herbal medicine and also some sweet potato plants. Make sure to drop by the tree house, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Ecogarden from above!

Children aged 0-4 should be accompanied by an adult.
2. Step into the world of dessert at the Museum of Ice Cream
Families who love everything sweet will definitely have a blast at the Museum of Ice Cream! Step into the world of sweetness and everything pink — free-flowing ice cream with so many toppings to choose from, photo spots here and there, multi-sensory exhibits explaining the history of ice cream, and their own take on the ball pit pool, just make it sprinkles! There’s also an artsy retro diner inside if you want to grab a bite. Once you’re done exploring the museum’s exhibit, attractions, and diner, drop by the souvenir store and get matching souvenirs for you and your family!
3. Marvel at stunning city views aboard the Singapore Flyer
If you want to see the city from a whole new perspective, then take on the Singapore Flyer which offers one of the best views of the Singapore skyline! You and your family can spot architectural landmarks like Merlion Park, Fullerton Bay, and even Changi Airport from your capsule.
Take this experience to the next level and treat yourselves (and the kids) to premium flight packages where you’ll get to enjoy either a glass of champagne or Singapore Sling for the adults and some non-alcoholic drinks for the kids, all while appreciating the views aboard a V.I.P capsule!
4. Spread your wings at iFLY
Does your child dream of flying like his favorite superhero? You can finally make his dreams come true at iFLY Singapore! You and your family will first be trained by professional instructors. During the training session, you can even learn a trick or two before you get suited up in your sky-diving gear. For all the worry-warts, ease your fears as they will explain to you all the safety grounds before you step into the wind tunnel that will make your body fly up and down.
5. Have a fun-filled family day at Universal Studios Singapore
Your Singapore trip will not be complete without a visit to Universal Studios Singapore! Treat your family to an exciting amusement park day where there are attractions that both kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy.

6. Relive your childhood at the Mint Museum of Toys
Calling all antique toy lovers — the Mint Museum of Toys is the perfect place to spend the day reliving your childhood and sharing your love for old toys with your children! With toys from over 40 countries, this extensive collection of vintage toys is truly a paradise for both kids and adults. Since it’s located conveniently in central Singapore-Bugis, it’ll be a great place to walk off the post-lunch food coma!
7. Kayak through nature at Pulau Ubin
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life with your family, then head down to Singapore’s sister island — Pulau Ubin! Try kayaking through nature, an activity we highly recommend if you want to explore the best of Pulau Ubin. Don’t worry about getting lost at sea since you’ll be accompanied by professional instructors as they navigate you through the sea and mangroves! Just enjoy the tranquility of the mangroves and learn a thing or two about nature and the people living in the area.
Everyone can join in the kayak adventure, even those who can’t swim! Don’t worry, you’ll be given a personal floatation device before the activity begins!
8. Take on thrilling tracks on your luges at Skyline Luge
Experience what it’s like to race down different types of tracks on your three-wheel luge (a ride that’s part go-kart and part sled) when you visit the Skyline Luge with your fam! Before getting all excited about riding your luge, choose your preferred track first — Kuppu Kuppu Trail, Expedition Trail, Jungle Trail, or Dragon Trail. After picking your track, get ready to feel the rush and wind as you drive down alone or with your kiddo!
While it’s so much fun to experience this activity in the day surrounded by nature, it’s just as fun when you ride the luge at night since the tracks are lit with vibrant colors to add some light to your evening!
Klook Tip: To experience the Skyline Luge to the fullest, book a Sentosa Skyride too and marvel at stunning Sentosa views from your cable car!
