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.

1. Tanjung Rimau Caves

Have an adventure as you explore stunning cliffs and wander into secluded natural caves. Let your kids’ imaginations run wild as you enjoy awesome scenic views that are perfect for family photos.
