Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom
You'll be fluttered by more than 50 species of butterfly inside the Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom. The Insect Kingdom museum has thousands of mounted butterflies, rhino beetles, Hercules beetles (the world's largest), scorpions, and other critters and varmints - kids stare wide-eyed.

Cineblast
Simulation ride that straps you into a chair and tricks your mind into thinking it's being flung through canyons, propelled down rapids, shot up high mountains and other nausea-inducing experiences.

Jurong Reptile Park
Check out the Jurong Reptile Park, across the car park from the bird park. It's a little run-down and probably not much fun for the crocodiles (they also appear on the park restaurant's menu), but kids will get a kick out of the croc feeding ( and ), giant tortoises, Komodo dragons and pythons. There's a reptile show at and .

Sentosa 4d Magix
Now a global theme park standard, somehow movies in which things fly past your nose and spray water in your face never lose their appeal. Good fun.

Sentosa Island
Half a kilometre off the Singapore coast is this unfailingly popular resort. The Brits turned the island into a military fortress in the late 1800s. In 1967 it was returned to the government who developed it into a holiday resort. Like its imported sand and piped tin-drum renditions of Summer Holiday, Sentosa is almost entirely synthetic, but kids love the flashy rides and there are some substantial museums and activities for adults to chew on.

Singapore Flyer
This is the world's largest observation wheel (beating the London Eye by 30m) and one of the key Marina Bay developments. The 30-minute ride is best done on a clear blue day, or on a clear night, when the lights of Indonesia and Malaysia frame the spectacular pan-Singapore views.

Singapore Zoo
This zoo is world-class, and is constantly being upgraded. The zoo's showpiece animals include endangered white rhino, Bengal white tigers, polar bears, baboons and orang-utans. Wherever possible, moats replace bars, and the zoo is beautifully spread out over 28 hectares of lush greenery beside the Upper Seletar Reservoir.
Highlights are many - from the moment you step in to be greeted by free-ranging cotton-top tamarins and white-faced sakis and siamangs cavorting in the trees.

Songs Of The Sea
Extravagant light and sound show set around a replica Malay fisherman's village. The location and the visual effects are stunning but the Lloyd-Webber-esque theatricality veers towards the cheesy.

Underwater World
Sentosa's saving grace, Gracie the dugong is the star performer at Underwater World. Leafy seadragons and wobbling Medusa jellyfish are mesmeric, while stingrays and 10ft sharks cruise inches from your face as they traverse Ocean Colony's submerged glass tubes. Watch divers feeding the fish, or muster some nerve for the 30-minute Dive with the Sharks experience (from S$96 per person; call for details and bookings).

Underwater World & Dolphin Lagoon
Ageing slightly, and set to be completely eclipsed by the world's largest oceanarium under construction at the island's new casino resort, kids will nonetheless get a kick out of the giant spider crabs, sting rays and impossibly lovable manatee. Tickets include entry to the Dolphin Lagoon show further along the coast.
