Singapore is an ideal place to travel with a child, a real children's paradise. And not only because it is warm, bright and all that unusual and causes curiosity. Singaporeans just adore children. Whenever possible try to Pat on the head, treat the sweetness or shrimp in batter, spread some spirits, shove in the arm bracelet for happiness and so on. Not less friendly to children and the infrastructure of the City States: places that any child will make glow with happiness, stop here for at least a full week-long trip, and stories about them — on a small guide. So talk only about the win-win options.
Sentosa Island
Generally, the whole of Sentosa is a real treasure for travellers with children. Entertainment here mass, dull will neither children nor adults.
Let's start with the classics of the genre — with Park Universal Studio, which hardly needs introduction. In Singapore it is located on the island of Sentosa: going from downtown leads the cableway, which in itself is a spectacular attraction. Here the highest roller coaster in the whole of South-East Asia and lots of interactive attractions that it is better to visit those who are over six years — take "revenge of the Mummy": you scooting down a dark tunnel, and on you periodically snatch mummies, enormous insects and other horror ... Screech, laughter, delight and horror! The second valid impressions attraction — two shows: "Waterworld" and "Jurassic Park," in which the actors certainly you would be poured over with water from head to toe, if not seated away in advance. Complete the walk you can visit the giant candy store Candylicious, which decorate the candy trees and inside sell thousands of sweets for the sweet tooth.
For small children and for those who don't like noisy rides, ibid., at landmark village, there are the Singapore Oceanarium, the largest in the world. Here lives more 800 species of marine fauna-000000 100 individuals! Sharks, sea rays, fancy jellyfish, seahorses and bright fish live in a Habitat, since the Oceanarium has access to the high seas. By the way, Singapore Oceanarium is not entertainment center, a large educational complex where you talk about the behavior of marine animals, protection of the oceans and human interaction with nature. And fun can be good in a nearby water park with lots of rides.
Jurong Bird Park
Jurong Bird Park is a great respite from the hot city in the rainforest and meet with the birds closer. They live here without cells freely. The idea is that the Park is designed so that visitors go in circles: the arrow pointers everywhere. But if you hate the crowd or you have a very small child, which has moved in a wheelchair, it is better to go in the opposite direction: so you avoid crowds and the quality of the walk is not lost.
ARC was founded in 1971, the year when the Finance Minister of Singapore, visited a similar Park in Rio de Janeiro and was so appalled by the idea of the content of the birds in the wild that his filing was founded in Singapore Bird Park, the construction of which spent 3.5 million Singapore dollars (about 1 million United States dollars). Today there are 5000 birds, 400 species. The Park is divided into thematic areas: "the African waterfall", "descendants of dinosaurs" (flightless birds), "South East Asia", "Beach of the penguins," "world of darkness" (nighttime birds) and Laurie, the Loft "is interactive" area, where you can hand feed Lory special fodder — these funny bright birds are absolutely not afraid of people. In addition, every day in the Park, arrange the show: "Kings of heavens" demonstrates the tamed predators-Eagles, falcons; during the show's high-flying "you can observe all peredraznivaûŝimi cockatoo, as well as for the pelicans, flamingos and rhinoceros bird. But the biggest culture shock awaits children from ... with storks. Here they behave relentlessly: scream, fight, cranes lift up, steal fish from pelicans — in short, look like a very reasonably priced for teenagers. It is connected with their behavioral characteristics. Storks — migratory birds: the offspring grow in Europe and winter in tropical Africa, India and Asia. The behavior of "home" and "resting" is strikingly different, as, unfortunately, and some part of Russian tourists.
Zoo and Safari
If you have enough time (at least two days to spare) and you can visit three parks directly, it is better to take a week-long combined ticket Wildlife Reserves: comes out cheaper.
The Singapore Zoo is one of the best in the world, the award-winning. Even those who aren't a fan of zoos for ethical reasons, Singapore will cause a fall all animals here are contained in open enclosures, without cages and fences. Besides, it's a real tropical Park — you can walk on the shady alleys and photographed against the backdrop of wandering around animals like you somewhere on a Safari in Africa. By the way, to the 50-th anniversary of independence of Singapore Zoo temporarily settled four koalas, which was brought from Australia, for which the plane even specially organized a salon "Koala". So hurry up and see.
Next to the Zoo are two more parks: "night Safari" and "the River Safari. The first involves excursions after dark to observe nocturnal animals; the second Park was opened only three years ago and is the most famous ecosystem of rivers in the world. In addition, the "Safari Boat recently arrived two pandas from China — Kai-Kai and Jia-Jia. In fact, they are here in long business trip: Singapore accepted the pandas "Treaty of renting animals for 10 years. As residents of both countries saw off and were greeted by animals (and they flew special Board, the Singapore on the entire route of the pandas stood people welcoming placards), watched not only by local journalists, but also to the world press. Recently Singapore post even released their honor stamps.
Urban entertainment
Children's Singapore is not only a theme and nature parks, here a lot and exclusively urban entertainment. For example, Singapore Flyer observation wheel, which until recently remained the highest in the world. In the building there is another wheel attraction — Flight Experience, which is a real cockpit of an airplane, equipped with a computer. Children meets pilot, conducts training, and under his leadership they can "fly" in one of the world's airports 24000, overcoming along the way various weather conditions.
You can also go to the Museum of optical illusions where you want to take a fully charged phone since taking pictures and posting via instagram you will all the time: How do you like hang the entire family under the ceiling, and as you grew, becoming Gulliverov in Lilliput, and as sedlaete Merlajona (name is a symbol of Singapore is a lion with a body of fish) and fly over the city on it.
However, the strangest experience of parents in Singapore is the realization that for a small child there is no greater joy than to be at the Centre of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel parking: walked past and stuck on the hour. And swear is completely useless, better to pull the plug on plans and spend time in a joint examination of the most expensive new products the world's automobile industry, shimmering in the Sun with all the colors of the Rainbow.
