Known as “the kids learning mall”, United Square Mall is a hit with families.
Start with the vibrant and interactive website to plan your shopping trip, which even your little ones can help with. And when you’re there, the outdoor water features will keep the young ones fascinated – long enough for you to run into the new Starbucks for a quick coffee-to-go!
For the little bookworms out there, ‘Molly the Mobile Library’ makes her appearance on the 2nd Saturday of every month, at level 1 between 1pm – 5 pm.
A nursing room is available on level one and if you’re planning on a long walk-about around the mall with a little one, United Square offers a three-hour complimentary stroller.

JEM
Another new mall in the west, JEM has a marine-themed playground right outside of the food court which also includes a few water features for the kids to splash around, and then wash themselves up at the showers provided nearby.
There is even a Sky Park with interesting features from the Science Park which will delight your kids as they explore the different sights and sounds.
If you need to do some grocery shopping, don’t worry about the little ones getting bored and having a meltdown in the middle of the supermarket, because NTUC Fairprice at the basement level has special kiddy car carts for junior to “drive around” in as mum and dad grab the weekly food supplies, or you can even let your kids help with the shopping by pushing along their own pint-sized trolley (both with a refundable deposit of $10).

If you need to breastfeed your little one, comfy, well-equipped nursing rooms (six of them!) are available just off the open-air play area on level two.
Even more fun for kids would be the mini express train ride at $6 a ride (for children below 90cm, an accompanying parent rides for free) and the Happy Boat rides on the rooftop for the little ones to paddle around for only $4!
