SINGAPORE – The June school holidays provide a much-needed respite for your kids – and you – from academic routines. Make the most of the month-long break to bond with your family at new attractions and activities.
For an adrenaline rush, take the plunge down the 85m-long Blackhole Aqua Tube, which will have you barrelling out the other end in 15 seconds. The three-storey centre also has two dry-play zones. At Scramble Net, you have to crawl through netted tunnels and swing from bars. And at Clockwork Towers, you will find a five-lane climbing wall.
A larger-than-life butterfly, a kingfisher, poison dart frogs and elephant ear figs will likely keep your kids entertained at Gardens by the Bay’s ninth annual Children’s Festival, which runs from June 10 to 25. Admission is free, but fees apply for selected craft activities and all game stalls. You need tickets for the train ride, which costs $10 a child, $12 an adult and $20 for an adult-child bundle.The Garden Pod is made up of four duplex suites, with the upper levels constructed from 12.2m-long repurposed shipping containers.
