We also highlight unforgettable family activities including visits to the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, relaxing walks through the Singapore Botanical Gardens, and a day exploring Sentosa Island. While many families visit Universal Studios Singapore, we also share how spending time at Siloso Beach and exploring Fort Siloso can offer a more local and historic perspective of the island. Along the way, we talk about one of Singapore’s biggest highlights — the food — from Chinatown street markets and hawker stalls to seafood dinners at Jumbo Seafood along East Coast Park. We also share tips on where to stay in Singapore for larger families and the best ways to get around the city.
