Singapore (Feb 2016): Day 3

Day 3 saw us exploring Sentosa- or to be more specific- Resorts World Sentosa. Actually, we only managed to cover 2 attractions- S.E.A Aquarium and the Trick Eye Museum.

A huge wooden ship greeted us when we stepped into the S.E.A Aquarium. We were supposed to watch a video before going in.



I have to say that this aquarium is AMAZING. The tank right at the end was truly mesmerising; I probably could have sat there for hours watching the sea life. Such a calming experience. The jellyfish display was really fascinating as well- they were simply gorgeous to look at.



Sharks- my favourite!


This was simply... WOW!


So beautiful


Had to restrain myself from buying these!

The Trick Eye Museum turned out to be so much fun. It was our first time in one of these 3D museums, and we were not quite sure what to expect, but we had an absolute whale of a time! The kids dutifully posed (without complaining) and we all had a good laugh seeing all the funny photos. Too bad I can't post any photos here :)

Singapore (Feb 2016): Day 2

Hubby had to attend a course the next day, so I took the kids to visit the National Museum of Singapore. The museum had a little quiz/treasure hunt activity sheet for kids- and they had so much fun completing that. We spent a fair bit of time there, and also checked out a special exhibition that outlined the Singapore story.




Lee Kuan Yew

There are such good quality museums in Singapore- I wished I could say the same for Malaysia. Sigh.

Singapore (Feb 2016): Day 1

Singapore is a great place to visit for families, and we were glad to be back. Our first day there saw us at Gardens by the Bay, and we visited both the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest. I was a little worried that the kids would be bored seeing plants, but I was pleasantly surprised that they enjoyed themselves. 


Good view of Marina Bay Sands

Real plants and fake Lego ones!

Overall- a very educational visit!
