Things To Do 48 hours In Singapore With Kids

  1. Universal Studios Singapore (known locally as USS) –

    Located on RW Sentosa Island.  Without fail, this will be a family favorite.  So many rides, activities and food options for the entire day.  Don’t forget about the Adventure Cove next door for your water park experience.  Wagoners Abroad Universal Studios Singapore #YourSingapore #Singapore360

  2. SEA Aquarium  –

    Located on RW Sentosa Island 
    We are water and sea people, so when we visit an aquarium we are loving it!  This place was absolutely amazing and my all-time favorite was the Jellyfish display as well as the huge aquarium.  I wish we had planned more in advance to do a dive there.  Read more about our visit here.Singapore with kids - Things to do and see SEA Aquarium

  3. Trick Eye Museum

    Located on RW Sentosa Island just as you walk across the bridge. This place is full of 2D paintings on the museum walls, floors and ceilings appear to pop out of the surface and come to life. Visitors are more than welcome to explore the various themed galleries with their eyes, hands and even cameras. Step inside the paintings to complete a visual narrative with your creative poses, and watch a “tricky” story unfold before your camera.  Read more on the Trick Eye Museum Singapore.Singapore with kids - Things to do and see Trick eye museum

  4. VivoCity (A huge shopping mall and more)

    This place has it all, so if you find it is too hot outside or the heavy rains have arrived, this is a great indoor option.

    You not only have air conditioning, but you will stay dry as well.  There are loads of activities for the family here with a big playground, outdoor water play area, the cinema and more.  Don’t forget you have just about every dining option you can think of as well.  It is located directly above an MRT stop and just across the bridge from RW Sentosa Island (USS and Aquarium).  More info on VivoCitySingapore with kids - Things to do and see Vivocity

  5. River Safari –

    We didn’t have time to check out the river safari, but it was on our list of things to do.  It is located just outside of the city center and there is loads to do in the area.  This is not only fun, but very educational.  Check out their website.River-Safari-with-logo-888x1024

  6. Eating Local

    Make sure you take the time to try some of the local food.  It is worth stepping out of your comfort zone.  We had to stop by for a free sample of the candied pork, each time we passed.Singapore Yummy candied pork

  7. Singapore Flyer

    The Singapore Flyer is fun for everyone, if you don’t mind heights.  We didn’t have time to ride on the day we stopped by, as there was a bit of a line and we were on a time crunch.  If you purchase the Singapore Tourist Pass, there is an option to have this included in your purchase price.Singapore with kids - Things to do and see Singapore Flyer

  8. Duck Tours

    I have always wanted to try one of these and it looks like we will wait a bit longer still.  These are great options for cities such as Singapore with both land and water to see the sights.Singapore with kids - Things to do and see Duck Tours

  9. Explore via the MRT

    We purchased the Singapore Tourist Pass and enjoyed unlimited travel around the city.  This was perfect for us, as we had limited time and so much to see.  They offer 1, 2 or 3 day passes and you also have the option to have attractions included in your card fee.  There is a $10 deposit for the card and once you return the plastic card, you will be reimbursed.  Do note these are only sold and accepted for return in certain stations for limited hours each day.  Singapore Tourist Card MRT
