5 Extraordinary places in Singapore to bring your kids out

Singapore is small, but many places yet to explore!

Singapore is a small country and we often catch ourselves complaining about how small it is, that we have been to every corner and attraction in it, and that there are no other Singapore places for kids. Little did you know that there are a lot of hidden gems not known to many Singaporeans!

Nope, not the Coney Island, and not the zoo. These are gems that are not known to even locals and promise hours of fun and discovery! Here are five.
