Is Singapore a family friendly destination?

Is Singapore a family-friendly destination? With the travel and tourism market set to grow even more in Singapore in the coming years and with more families travelling further afield and broadening their horizons, it's a good question and the answer, simply, is YES.

2. Transportation and ease of getting around - Singapore has a very reliable MRT system which is cheap and easy to use, as well as an efficient public bus network that again is a cheap option for getting around.

When looking to make a Singapore hotel booking you will be spoilt for choice as many welcome families while also offering spa facilities, casual dining spaces you can all enjoy, having a nice glass of wine on a terrace while the kids enjoy views across the city. 

5. An array of family-friendly attractions - there are some incredible days out to be had in Singapore that are perfect for families. From interactive museums to Gardens by the Bay, Nature reserves, Aquariums, Zip-line adventures, it's has it all.
