1. Snow City

If you come to Singapore just on a short stop over from snow flooded Europe or anywhere else with regular white coated roof tops, skip this. If you however live in Singapore or long for some cold breeze and white crystals on your skin, this might just be the right place. The smaller version of Dubais famous Snow World offers you a short ride on your Snowboard or Skis and a definite cold nose.

2. Singapore Zoo

You should reserve an entire day to visit the Zoological Gardens of Singapore. It plays host to almost two thousand animals of at least 240 species and many of them are brought from other countries. Singapore Zoological Gardens is a fine abode of abundant greenery and pleasant imitation of the natural habitats of these animals. It won many awards and is just as exciting as a thrilling ride in the (soon to be opened) Universal Studios!
The attractions are Children’s World, Primate Kingdom and Wild Africa, all of which are nothing short of a full blown amusement park.

How about Haw Par Villa?

God! I’m gonna miss the ride there where they take you in a boat and show you what happens to you after you die and go to hell. I heard it’s no longer there anymore? Haven’t gone in a while. Good (albeit creepy) stuff that was!

You can try going to Jurong East Swimming Complex as well – it’s almost as good as Downtown East and a whole lot cheaper :) http://www.singaporeswimming.com/pools/jurong-east-swimming-pool/
