Comment on Things to do in Singapore? by Chisa

Mark – Alright, I think I’ll make the zoo a priority then. My mum is completely disinterested but I think I’ll be happy enough running around taking photos of animals on my own haha. It’s surprisingly not too expensive, compared to crappier zoos in Australia (grrr National Zoo!).

Tash – Why hello there! Yep, definitely have to check out the Merlion. And I’m looking forward to the Botanic Gardens. I get bored easily visiting too many museums, but thinking a couple (probably during the hottest part of the day) would be worthwhile. Ta for the rec!

Elissa – Ooooh what a gorgeous blog! Thanks heaps, I think that’s definitely one to follow.

I like this Singapore-based blog. She does lots of restaurant reviews (mainly for sweets, I think)

You can’t go to Singapore and not see the Merlion! Across the water from him is the basically the view in that second photo.

The Botanic Gardens are beautiful. They have a particular section just dedicated to orchids which is lovely to walk through.

There’s also quite a few art and history museums that are great to see and I believe are not too expensive to visit. The National Museum of Singapore and Asian Civilisations Museum were my favourites.

Re: Universal Studios – hmm good point! :)

Re: Zoo

Probably best to do both. We only did the Night Safari but that’s because we were a bit rushed for time. It’s great to see the nocturnal animals out and about (along with some commentary from a guide) but if you want the whole experience I suspect you’ll need to go during the day too :).

Sansele – Oooh yes! I’ll be there from 4th – 8th, let me know when you’re free ^_^

Mark – Is the night safari better than going in the day? Or should I do both?

I’d like to do Universal Studios, but my mum isn’t interested and I don’t think it’ll be as fun on my own!

Definitely visit Singapore Zoo and try the night safari.

If you like amusement parks you should try Universal Studios, although can get a bit pricey if you start buying souvenirs :).

You should try out the giant outdoor food court at Newton Food Centre if you want some hawker-style food.

If you’re into Singapore’s culture and history, I think the Singapore National Museum is definitely worth a visit. They have a really long audio tour.
