School holiday is getting near! Let us help you decide how to spend it in a fun way! Will it be a staycation or a visit to Singapore’s finest attractions?

===

As a parent (and also as a student), school holiday is the only time when you can enjoy your off time without thinking about all of your duties. It is usually the right time to gather with family, or have a fun time to spend outside school with friends.

So many choices of school holiday activities you can do. Remember, it doesn’t happen every week. Do not let a bad choice ruin this golden time! Care to take a look at the best ideas you can adopt for the school holiday?

Here, we already gather you some fun destinations to visit and some activities to do while enjoying your holiday!

Let’s release the stress (both for parents and students, for sure) and have a wonderful school holiday. To enjoy more of this holiday time, it might be better for all of you to get out of the house and try something different (if it’s not something new). At least, do something that will make this holiday unforgettable.

So, what can you actually do? Here’s some idea:

Yes, staycation is the answer. Either you make the staycation plan with the kids or you can let the kids (bigger kids, of course) have their own staycation with their friends. Wow, sounds really good right?

Why at the hotel? Because a friend’s or a family’s place might be boring for them. Have an unusual experience for this holiday. Hotels can provide a lot more facilities that your kids don’t have everyday.

For example, who doesn’t love having a balcony facing a different view? And, for the little kids, who doesn’t love the big pool to swim in?

Well, you can take the staycation as long as you want. You can also choose the hotel based on your budget or other things you desire. Want to make it more fun? Choose a hotel near an attraction that your kids will definitely love.

Sure, you already know that Singapore has a lot of attractions that are actually kids friendly. This is how you can have more fun time and activities. You can still choose to stay at home and spend your time trying some attractions. This way, it can be more pennywise.

Now, here’s the list of staycation hotels and kids friendly attractions you can consider to visit.

Every kid needs a swimming pool, and as we know together, Marina Bay Sands has the most attractive infinity pool to try on this school holiday. Imagine how hysterical they will be while enjoying the infinity pool.

This is for you to keep in mind that the Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands only allows children to have their swim at noon. You can also talk to the hotel employee if you want to book the Infinity Pool for an hour so your children’s swimming time is saved.

For the advantages, you can take your own swimming session with your spouse in the evening, when the swimming pool’s situation is quieter. That way, it’s profitable for everybody!

Marina Bay Sands also has several choices of rooms, and every single one of them is a wonderful choice. You can suit the room to you and your kid’s needs.

Have your kids ever tried to sleep in a bunk bed? Well, worry no more because Shangri-La Hotel Singapore have cute bunk beds in their Family Suites. This will be very exciting for your kids!

Anyway, apart from the bunk beds, Shangri-La Hotel Singapore is very kids-friendly. The moment they enter the hotel, they will be absolutely amazed with the magnificent building. Also, not to forget about the swimming pool too. No kids will be able to skip the swimming pool.

Shangri-La Hotel also has a lot of fun activities for your kids. Your kids can try fish feeding, join the Treasure Hunt, and try the Bake for Fun activity. These activities can be found in Buds Shangri-La. If you don’t know anything about Buds Shangri-La yet, let us give you the answer: it’s a heaven for kids.

Now you want to be more involved in your kid’s activities? Say no more. You can go have a family picnic at Shangri-La. Really, what can this hotel not do for you and your kids? It already has everything for your school holiday!

If your kids really love to swim, then taking them to the Mandarin Oriental Singapore is probably the right thing to do. In fact, they have a large swimming pool, your kids would scream with happiness the first time they see it.

The other good news is that the Mandarin Oriental Singapore sometimes offers a family activity session, usually at the Kiztopia Singapore. If you want to go other attraction that is fun for your kids, the Mandarin Oriental Singapore is only 5 kms away from Universal Studios Singapore.

Some parents want a more private and safe ‘playground’ for the kids. That’s why, it is probably better for you to choose the Premier Jacuzzi Room at Hotel Clover 796 North Bridge Road. The room has an indoor private jacuzzi, which can make your children very excited!

The plus points are that you don’t need to go that far away from your room to enjoy a bathing session (kids sometimes only do some waterplay so a jacuzzi will be enough), and it is more safe and private for your kids that you can help yourself more relaxed while watching them play.

The Deluxe Family Room here also has a bunk bed! Having a staycation for a couple days won’t be boring to spend the school holiday!

During your days of spending the school holiday, you might need a bigger room. Large room, even. This will also be a good trick if you have little ones and they are in an active phase. They might run and play on the floor.

So, the M Hotel Singapore will provide you the Suite Room. It’s a large-sized room with a carpet on it. If you want to take your kid’s friends for a staycation, it will still be comfortable.

Beside, it also has an indoor private jacuzzi inside the bathroom! A good point indeed, right?

You have a teenage girl? This room can be really good to spend a girls night only!

Do you want your kids to experience something different? Maybe you should check The Fullerton Hotel Singapore. They have the glamping night set, including the tent and the starry night projector. Believe it, if you see the picture of this glamping night set, you might want to get involved too because it’s too cute to be missed!

You can have this glamping night set if you check in to the Premier Collyer Suite. The other rooms are very beautiful too, and the most important thing is: if it is getting boring inside the room, you can step outside and have a swim at the large swimming pool!

Looking for another choice of Glamping Tent for the little ones? Please check Capitol Kempinski Singapore! Not only the Glamping Tent, you can have some kids activities packed up on a tote bag, specially made for kids by Kempinski. Check in for the Grand Deluxe Rooms and ask for the Glamping Package for your kids.

You can have a luxurious staycation here and also, it is a good choice of hotel because it’s very near to certain attractions that you may want to visit with your kids. There’s a National Gallery Singapore, National Museum of Singapores, Garden by The Bays, and the Red Dot Design Museum.

See? It’s very strategic and it’s a win-win solution after all!

Now let’s move for a while from the staycation hotel choices to some attractions that will be really fun for your kids to spend the school holiday. The first one is the Trick Eye Museum!

Well, who doesn’t know this museum? It’s an interactive 3D museum. This museum will be very suitable for kids of all ages. Your teenage kids will be very excited too, especially if they have a chance to spend it with their closest friends.

Just don’t forget to charge your phone and make room in your phone memory because it is about to get full! You will have the need to take so many pictures to post on social media, and of course to be a keepsake one day, when your kids get so much older!

Looking for other photo-friendly attractions? Madame Tussauds Singapore it is!

Take your kids (and their friends, for more exciting moments) to have a stroll at Gardens by The Bay. Yes, it is one of the most visited tourist attractions, and it might sound very usual for Singaporeans, but it will still be fun.

You can explain a lot of plant variety to your kids while having a stroll here. There is a garden artistry that will make both you and your kids amazed (one of them is actually shaped like a giant).

Don’t forget to enjoy the Cloud Forest too. Even though the Gardens by The Bay is inside a crowded city, all the scenery inside will be very worth it for your eyes!

This destination can be very suitable for you teenage kids. Let them experience the Red Dot Design Museum, where they can see contemporary arts. Yes, it sounds a bit heavy, but if your teenage kids love arts, this can be a new perspective for them.

The building itself is very unique and it is divided by a lot of rooms based on the theme or the type of the products. For example, you can enjoy the Mask Exhibition. You can find all kinds of masks, varied by the pattern, the shape, the textile, and the technique of the making.

The South East Asia Aquarium or the S.E.A Aquarium can be considered the largest aquarium in the world! Take your kids to get closer to the underwater animals. You can also experience the feeling of walking underwater. How fun, right?

Your eyes will really enjoy the scenery of the underwater and the wonders of almost 1000 species of marine animals. This can be a very exciting journey and an educating school holiday for your kids (and you too!).

Your kids can try the Discovery Touch Pool, when they can touch several marine animals, such as sea stars. The more interesting one is The Open Ocean Habitat. This is the largest spot, you will definitely feel so small looking at this. Imagine how amazed your kids will be!

Seeing animals can’t be boring for kids. Well, actually, it can’t be boring for anyone. Singapore Zoo should be on your school holiday list, especially if you still have little kids. You and the kids can learn a lot here, and the outdoor space can be so refreshing for all of you.

Here, you can check the Orangutan’s Family or you can see their collections of insects and reptiles. If you bring little kids, this can be very intriguing for them too.

There are also a lot of amazing shows to watch here. There’s an Elephant’s Show, where you can see them do some tricks. Or, if you love water animals, you can see the Splash Safari Show. Every show here will be very entertaining for you and your family.

Another choice of how to spend your school holiday: sit in a big bus and enjoy the city of Singapore! Yes, you can ride the double-decker bus together with your kids (or let them ride by themselves, it’s your choice). The Big Bus Singapore will take you to see the icons of Singapore.

The interesting thing is that you can go up to the top of the deck and see the hustle of the city and all the Singapore icons from there. It will be a new experience for all of you.
