These locations are praised for their child-friendly environments, with many featuring playgrounds and water play areas.

For families with very young children, some users suggested specific attractions that cater to toddlers, including water play areas at Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage, as well as the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden at the Botanic Gardens.

According to forum posts, visitors in Singapore have a choice between using the Singapore Tourist Pass and contactless bank cards for public transport.

For many users, using a contactless bank card is highlighted as a straightforward option, as it allows you to tap in and out across the MRT and buses without the need for a separate travel card. It's important to note that foreign-issued cards are subject to a small daily fee, which is added to the cost of travel.
