Singapore attractions

Is meeting a baby rhino on your holiday list? Look no further than one of the world’s best zoos. Singapore Zoo feels a little special, in that many of the animals are kept in cage-free environments with an emphasis on conservation, education and sustainability. Take the kids to the live sea lion show, explore the massive biodome for a glimpse at a thriving rainforest, board a tram with audio commentary (great when you’re too hot to walk!) and meet the people who care for the animals at three daily Keepers' Q&A sessions.

The future is bright, the future is Singapore - a fact you can’t argue with once you’ve seen the wholly impressive Gardens by the Bay. This eco-friendly, sustainable green zone is as educational as it is a homage to the George Jetson lifestyle you’ve imagined. Picture misty indoor rainforests, multimedia effects and night-time light shows overlooking Singapore's stunning skyline. See the world's biggest glass greenhouse and indoor waterfall, and the jaw-dropping 50-meter tall vertical gardens of Supertree Grove. There’s nothing else like it!

The fact that Singapore had no beach wasn’t about to stop anyone turning the city into a seaside resort. Sentosa Island is the Lion City’s answer to the question “where should I take the kids today?” Pretty beaches and luxurious spas, Universal Studios Singapore, Tiger Sky Tower, Singapore Butterfly & Insect Kingdom, and the huge S.E.A. Aquarium should all keep you busy, while an ocean breeze keeps you cool. As a bonus, the 12-minute cable car ride from Vivo City provides sweeping panoramic views.

Asia’s first multi-sensory night walk has been likened to ‘a living dream’ and you won’t want to wake up. Rainforest Lumina blends light, sound and special effects with a balmy rainforest setting to bring you a fully immersive storytelling experience - all new for 2018 at Singapore Zoo. Enter a magical rainforest and see packs of running wolves, watch out for swooping birds of prey, and wander through a world where modern technology meets Mother Nature. You’ll definitely be talking about this one later.
