It is a good choice for families who want something colourful, easy to explore and suitable for photos. A good plan is to visit after 5:00 PM, explore the indoor floral exhibition first, then stay for the Supertree light show at 7:45 PM.

In the afternoon or before your flight, head to Jewel Changi Airport. The limited-time LEGO Botanicals exhibition features a whimsical LEGO garden with giant flowers, a Japanese house with floating lilies, a fairytale mushroom cottage and photo spots. Families can join the Stamp Quest, collect stamps from 7 stops, including 3 in Canopy Park, and redeem a free gift at the LEGO Pop-up on B1 while stocks last.

If Day 2 of your Singapore family itinerary is all about nature and wildlife, Mandai Wildlife Reserve is the place to spend it. The area brings together several of Singapore’s most popular animal attractions, including Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Bird Paradise and Night Safari. Families can easily spend a full day here, combining animal encounters, boat rides, bird shows, indoor play areas and an evening safari.

To make the most of Mandai Wildlife Reserve, start your morning at Singapore Zoo, when the weather is more comfortable and animals are usually more active. Continue to River Wonders before lunch or in the early afternoon for a slower-paced river-themed experience.

In the afternoon, head to Bird Paradise for bird shows and colourful photo spots. If the weather gets too hot, take a break at indoor family-friendly areas such as Exploria or Curiosity Cove. As the day ends, finish with Night Safari, one of Singapore’s most unique wildlife experiences.

Families can save more by choosing Mandai Wildlife Reserve combo tickets instead of buying separate tickets for each park.

This makes Mandai Wildlife Reserve a good choice for families who want a full-day attraction with several experiences in one area.

Universal Studios Singapore is one of the best attractions for families visiting Sentosa. This summer, the Minions take over Hollywood with the new live show “Lights, Camera, Monsters!”, featuring Minions James and Henry in a fun movie-making adventure.

In the afternoon, continue with Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure for a splash-filled ride, or visit Far Far Away for Shrek 4-D Adventure if you are travelling with younger children.
