Singapore
If considering heading to Singapore's world famous zoo, it's worth purchasing their safari pass for $30, (approx £10) which will give you access to the main zoo which is amazingly lush and beautifully laid out. After visiting the day zoo you can have some dinner in the separate night safari park adjoining the zoo, with a vast choice of fresh cooked food. The night zoo features hundreds of nocturnal creatures that can be witnessed either from the trams that roam the park or some footpaths. The zoo gets extremely dark and could be a bit frightening for children, especially the free flying bat enclosure and hearing tigers roar from somewhere within the tropical foliage, but a fantastic day/night out that is definitely worth a visit. Highlight of the night safari has to be seeing a mother elephant sleeping curled up around its calf. Beautiful!
80 Mandai Lake Road Singapore 729826 Taxi was the recommended way to get to the zoo as there is no direct bus or MRT.
Plenty of reasons to take the kids to Sentosa. However the luge ride is the most recent attraction. Installed in autumn 2005, the ride is great fun and cheap to boot. Children under 110cm can ride with their parents/guardians. Crash helmets supplied!
www.sentosa.com.sg/ Best way to get there is to take the cable car from Mount Faber. Buy a one way ticket and get out of the island via road. However if you buy a return ticket, you are eligbile for a glass bottomed cable car!
