A 5-day-5-night itinerary for a large-family vacation in Singapore!
Hi! We'll be a family of 5 adults and 5 young children (ranging from 3-10 years old) visiting Singapore for the first time during the Holy Week. We need your help to fine-tune our itinerary below.
Day 1: Arrive at 11am. Check in at hotel. Visit Singapore Flyer, Merlion Park, Helix Bridge. Cruise?
Day 2: Universal Studios Singapore
Day 3: Singapore Zoo and Night Safari
Day 4: Jurong Bird Park and Science Centre
Day 5: Sentosa Island
We'd also like to see Chinatown, Little India and some of the colonial buildings. When should we squeeze it in?
Thanks so much for your time and attention.

Hi Jen
Here are some suggested refinements for your family vacation in Singapore:
Day 1 - Marina Bay and Singapore River
After checking into your hotel, start with the Singapore Flyer, the Helix Bridge and Merlion Park. From Merlion Park, you could embark on a Singapore River Cruise.
Day 2 - Universal Studios Singapore
Universal Studios opens at 10am - so arrive accordingly. Allow 6 hours here. You could end the day at Resorts World Sentosa or proceed to Vivo City Mall for shopping.
Day 3 - Singapore Zoo and Night Safari
Start the day with something light - such as the Duck Tour from Suntec City Galleria - or just laze by the hotel pool in the morning.
After lunch, leave for Singapore Zoo. This is followed by the Singapore Night Safari in the evening.
(Avoid starting at the Zoo too early Otherwise, the kids to be tired out.)
Day 4 - Jurong Bird Park, Science Centre & Chinatown
Morning: Jurong Bird Park
Afternoon: Singapore Science Centre
Evening: Chinatown
Day 5 - Little India & Sentosa Island
You could spend the morning in Little India Singapore, and leave for Sentosa after lunch.
Important Note
With young children, consider taking it easy. Be prepared to cut down on movements and see "less". This way, the entire group is more likely to enjoy the vacation in Singapore.
Travelling Together During Your Vacation in Singapore
If your budget allows it, consider hiring a licensed Singapore tour guide - who could pre-arrange your tours and take you around in a mini-bus during your Singapore vacation.
This way, your family could travel together and cut down on time waiting for each other. Here's an enquiry form for a customised Singapore travel package.
Have an enjoyable family vacation in Singapore.
