Looking for new places and attractions to bring the family? I previously shared a listing of 25 NEW attractions that opened this 2024 year.
But guess what, there are 30 NEW additions since then, which brings the list to a whopping 55 attractions and places!
.png)
Best of all, MORE THAN 40% - well, it's 43.6% if you want to get technical - of these places are actually FREE to visit!
1. Bidadari Park FREE
Inspired by the Hundred Acre Wood inhabited by Winnie-the-Pooh of the classic children’s story by author A. A. Milne, the 13-hectare wooded and rustic nature of Bidadari Park creates opportunities for exploration and adventure through various features. The most eye-catching feature for kids has got to be the Adventure Playwoods play area which consists of two linked tall towers, slide and zip line.
As one walks through the park, the landscape changes - one moment you find yourself walking through woodlands, another moment you’ll be on a boardwalk over marshlands, or you’ll be walking around a giant lake and Rain Tree island. Certain natural habitats within the park have been retained and integrated, like the Woodland Experiential Trail and the Marshland boardwalk, which invoke the feeling of immersed in the woods.
There’s even a 20m-tall raptor nest platform, which provides an additional perch and nesting site for raptors such as the white-bellied sea eagle. Or drop by the scenic Alkaff Lake, a recreational zone which also protects the estate from floods.

CARGO TRUCK, TOOLBOX & FUEL PUMP PLAYGROUNDS (Block 358D)

Younger kids can head to the 2 smaller play structures located beside the toolbox which offer more age-appropriate fun.
DRIVING CIRCUIT PLAYGROUND (Block 358C)
Younger kids can head to this playground where a road circuit on the ground sets the tone of the play area. Much like the nearby Ubi Driving Centre, kids can imagine themselves to be cars and vroom along the ‘roads’, complete with traffic junctions & zebra crossings.
Other than a small play structure in the middle, kids can hop onto a jeep & a VW Kombi van, and even refuel at the gas station! There’s also a giant orange climbing net structure for older kids.
ROAD TRAFFIC CIRCUIT (Block 357D)
For even younger kids, head here for smaller and simpler play structures, like a merry-go-round & mini vehicles. There is a larger play structure in the middle and a jump zone with number mounds for kids to test their agility skills.
