Singapore is, without any doubts, the most developed and urbanized country in Asia, if not in the entire world! I am sure you will be able to feel this too when you discover this unique country-city. In this blog, I will share our travel experience and hopefully it will also inspire you to add Singapore to your own family travel bucket list as well as give you some ideas of what you can do when you get there.

We celebrated my daughter's 2nd birthday at Singapore last July 2017. And all I can say is that this place is really beautiful. There is no pollution, the place is really clean and people are approachable. Here are the places and the things we did:
Universal Studios Singapore
Universal Studios Singapore is a must to visit when you go to Singapore, you can enjoy whether you have a kid with you or if you are a kid at heart.I am 100% recommending to ride the Transformer attraction because that one is so awesome!
Merlion at Marina Bay Sands
Merlion is the official mascot of Singapore, depicted as a mythical creature with a lion's head and the body of a fish. Being of prominent symbolic nature to Singapore and Singaporeans in general, it is widely used to represent both the city state and its people in sports teams, advertising, branding, tourism and as a national. You can't skip this place because this is the heart of Singapore.
Sentosa

Luge at Sentosa
Luge is one of the many things you can do at Sentosa, if you ride this, you can see a very beautiful view of the island from the top. I really enjoyed this and this was really fun.

Its Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world.If you are a plant lover, you must visit this place.
Water Play at Gardens by the Bay
If you have a children, this water play is the best to go to. This place is free and safe for children. They will surely love this activity.
Since my daughter loves swimming, she really enjoyed this, I think this is her most favorite part in our whole trip.
Alkaff Bridge
Trivia: The Alkaff Bridge was painted in January 2004 in vibrant colours by Filipino Artist Pacita Abad and a team of rope specialists. The artist and her crew of helpers used 55 different colours and more than 900 litres of industrial-strength paint to transform the bridge into Singapore's first "Bridge of Art".
DC Super Heroes Cafe
If you are a fan of these super heroes, you should pay a visit in this cafe, since my husband likes this, we enjoyed this place and the food here are all good. The place is nice and everything is all about DC Super heroes, even the design of the foods. They also have a souvenir shop in the side of the store.
Lucky China Town
In Lucky China Town, you can buy so many affordable things, especially the souvenirs or "pasalubong". You will be thrilled for the varieties of things they are selling at a very low cost.
Remember to always keep on dreaming!
