How's everyone coping with the School Holidays so far? Sanity still intact I hope. After last week's Indoor Activities list, here is the compilation of Outdoor Activities for Kids to get you through the remainder of the Holidays.
1. Re-live your own childhood by sussing out Singapore's Old Playgrounds
Let your kids know there is more to rubber mats and plastic slides found at today's playgrounds by showing them the playgrounds of yesteryears. Those were the days when playgrounds came in the shape of dragons, doves, elephants, pelicans and even watermelons!
Read our Old Playgrounds trilogy HERE.
2. Splash your way to outrageous fun at the newest water park in town, the AdventureCove Waterpark at Marine Life Park, Resorts World Sentosa
Promising endless splashes of fun, Adventure Cove Waterpark is an aquatic adventure park with something for everyone. Feel the adrenaline rush as you zoom down thrilling waterslides such as Southeast Asia’s first hydro-magnetic coaster. Chill out with friends at Bluwater Bay wave pool, or grab a tube and journey down Adventure River, passing through 14 themed zones including a tropical jungle garden and a grotto inhabited by whimsical sea creatures. Snorkel over a colourful coral reef with 20,000 friendly fish or wade amongst dozens of rays as you touch their velvety wings.
