Interesting Fact
You might not know it but Singapore’s land area includes as many as 64 offshore islands that surround the main island. These include Sentosa—a popular island resort with myriad attractions—and havens for nature lovers like Pulau Ubin, St John’s Island and Sisters’ Islands. What that means for visitors: more fun in the sun!

Something Different
Wild Water Fun
A wild water adventure is never far away in Singapore. One of the best water parks in the city is Wild Wild Wet which is popular for its exhilarating rides like Ular Lah – the first raft slide in South-East Asia and ‘The Water Works’ high-speed flume.
Hit the beaches
Singapore may be an urban jungle, but it’s also a top beach destination for families. Enjoy some good old-fashioned family fun at Sentosa’s Palawan Beach, which has a pirate-ship-shaped water playground, rope swing bridges and picnic areas. Head to the beaches of Kusu Island based in the Straits of Singapore if you want to go wildlife spotting, as hundreds of turtles flock to them annually. In this same region, you’ll find the secluded Lazarus Island, known for its unspoilt golden shores.
