TIPS FOR VISITING SINGAPORE WITH KIDS

  • Singapore used to be more of a stopover destination where people acclimated to Asia before moving on to Thailand, Indonesia, or other points in Southeast Asia.
  • Now Singapore is becoming more of a stand-alone destination, or at least a place where people are spending more than a day before moving on.
  • You could easily spend a week in Singapore and it makes a great “intro to Asia” destination because everyone speaks English and there is so much to do with kids.
  • Singapore weather can be pretty fickle. But since it is tropical you could have a beautiful sunny morning then an afternoon thunderstorm, which will clear up by the evening.
  • November into December tends to be a bit more rainy, but for the most part stays the same all year round.
  • Sentosa is known as Singapore’s playground. There are a lot of things to do as a family.
  • Download the app for Grab which is the Uber in Singapore.
  • Don’t leave your hotel without bringing an umbrella of sunscreen!

BEST PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTO

Marianne suggests heading to the Merlion Statue which is located in Marina Bay.

FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR

Marianne is simple in her gear but she loves to wear her J Brand jeans with her Nike trainers and a comfortable hoodie.
