What can we do during the school holidays ?

Fret no more... here are some suggestions on what you could do with your kids during the upcoming holidays... I am considering going for some of these with my kiddos : ). Anybody who have been or tried any of the following can give your comments.


1. Nature and outdoors

• Forest and Tree top adventure - a place to rough it out through obstacle course. Venue at Bedok Reservoir. Kid min height must be 1.1m

• Visits to the Singapore Botanic Gardens - Jacob Ballas for kids or the Hort Park

• Kids' skating classes - did a trial once with Skate with Us..not too bad..just that didn't sign on the course due to other commitments on weekends. They have holiday program for inline skating and ice skating..cool idea right ?

• Join the Singapore Sport Council - Sport on kids club for regular sporting activities for kids. Activities fees are much much cheaper if you are a member.

3. Educational and Farm Tours

1. Hay's Diaries - Highly Recommended !

If is a large group, pre-booking is required and they will conduct a tour for you. There is an admission fee for this farm but they will give you a free bottle of fresh goat's milk.

2. Farmart - I find it quite commercial. Small shops selling quail eggs, acquarium etc..is like visiting different shops but all confined at a big Mart.

4. Pasir Ris Kids Kampong - My kids went with their Kindergarten last year and enjoyed themselves very much. They liked the farm tour plus the long kang fishing.. they were thrilled to be able to bring the fishes home.
