Singapore has been called a playground for the rich but Singapore offers more than just high-end buying centers, luxury hotels or fine food and you can have a enjoyment holydays in this city and you'll find out how with Hotelbye . One of the areas many visit in Singapore is the opulent Marina Bay Sands resort complex. Marina Bay is just a place that includes a hotel, high-end luxury brands, mall with a canal operating through it, the ArtScience Museum and the Marina Bay Sands Skypark.The Skypark's is really a vessel where you can discover an infinity pool that tops the hotel. And, also only if the lodge guests are allowed to use the pool, the observation terrace can be obtained for everyone. The blissful luxury and the elegance of Marina Bay Sands exemplify Singapore's taste and help designate a significant global city in Southeast Asia.

Singapore is a lovely country. Depends on how old your kids are, really.

I'd suggest going to Sentosa Island - definitely takes up to 1 day! The Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari!
Shop around Bugis for good bargains, or China Town, Little India..
Orchard Road is famous for all the big malls.

Hmm... if you're game and not from Asia, try local food! If you're from Asia, there's not way you're visiting and not trying the food! Chicken rice is good! Singapore Laksa, chilli crabs.... Bedok (the name of the place) has nice and cheap food. Near Changi Point at the food court, serves fantastic "nasi lemak".

Good luck with your trip!

1) I loved the fountain of welth at sunset / night it was beautifull ... with the music and light and the water www.suntec.com/sg/
2) Sentosa Island is lots of fun specially for kids you could bring there most of your day ... Its a small Island and you can choose of different way to get to it, like a skyride (cable car) very high above the water. They have a mono rail that geos around the Island. White sandy beaches and lush tropical fauna, you will see wildlife monkey;s and the have a cute Pink dolphin resort. Monorail, and an under water park. Lots of water and fountain, could even swim if you want to.
www.sentosa.com.sg/
3) near there is a great shopoing area Vivocity, many of the shops there sell unique clothes and accessories and have some ice-cream at the shop while watching the cable cars and ferries move to and from Sentosa.
4)Boat Quay is a great place to hang out have a few drinks and have something to eat. All the restaurants, bars have all different colored outsides and is right at the water. Lots of people outside, while you have music everywhere.. there are also shops around here.........
You can buy a map anywhere there and get ideas of where little india is which they have some very diffrent temples, and worship items, or china town or little italie Everybody speak english and is very friendly to help.
The night safari was very dissapointing and i would not recomment it at all.... we might have seen 1 lion. all animals were relaxing and unable top be vieuwed as we travelled in a little train ....

You can also visit an alligator farm or the zoo and i would reccoment to eat outside traditional singaporian food.. Great cultural experience something that will always be remembered

HAVE AN AWESOME TIME>>>>>>>>

First Day:
You can go walk and shop around at Orchard Road. Lots of shopping you can do and then find a place to eat for dinner.
In the evening you can go to Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, to enjoy the breeze..

Second Day:
Spend a whole day at Sentosa. You can go to the Siloso Beach there.. Or Underwater World, Butterfly Park, animal parks. Lots to do there.

Third Day:
Visit the infamous Merlion at the Merlion Park.
From there you can walk to the Singapore River, and take a look at Clarke Quay, Boast Quay.
Then head down to Little India to eat?
You can either bring the kids to the Night Safari, which is a wild life park, or to Chinatown.

Fourth Day:
More shopping can be done at Suntec City. There you can visit the Fountain of Wealth too.

*Singapore Science Centre and Singapore Discovery Centre are interesting places for kids to go too~

Definitely do the Night Safari at the zoo.
Wander round both Chinatown and Little India (lots of small shops and markets as well as many colourful temples).
Thian Hock Keng temple is lovely.
Go to Jurong BirdPark (that's an absolute 'must').
The Chinatown Heritage Centre is small but worth a visit.
Plenty of shopping to be had along Orchard Road - a whole road of malls.
The Botanical Gardens are lovely but the children may get bored.

Depending on the ages of the children, eating food with your hands, off banana leaves, at The Banana Leaf Apolo on Race Course Road (in Little India) is an experience...and the food is superb.

There are lots of restaurants (with predominantly outdoor seating) along Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, if you want to escape from Orchard Road.
