| Singapore – Sentosa Island | |||
 |
Sentosa Island is many things in one. Kids can go to an aquarium, butterfly park or orchid garden, splash in a water park, visit an Asian Village theme park or Maritime Museum, swim at the beach, or play miniature golf. Spend the day, and stay on until evening to see the Musical Fountain show, a light show with water. |
 |
Ride the 40 minute monorail around the island (pick up the monorail at the cable car terminal), or take a horse carriage ride from the ferry terminal. |

Underwater World – This oceanarium has a large collection of tropical marine life, including a Touch Pool where you can pet banded-bamboo sharks (like sandpaper), sting rays (very slimy) and starfish. Watch turtles being fed at the Turtle Sanctuary. | ||

At Central Beach, you can see pink dolphins at Dolphin Lagoon, or take the bridge to a bit of land that is "southernmost point of the Asia." Rent bikes, umbrellas and beach chairs at Siloso or Central Beach. Ride the Beach Train (goes on the road) between the beaches. | |
