Far East Organization Children’s Garden
Indoor playgrounds are cool, but if you’re truly hoping to empty the kiddos’ energy tanks, you’ll need to let them run rampant outdoors. One of the places to do that is the Far East Organization Children’s Garden at Gardens By The Bay.
Covering 54 hectares of land along Marina Bay, the park is home to 4 play zones that are filled with swings, bridges, climbing nets, and interactive water jets. And the best part is, admission is free for all.
4 play zones for different age groups
Far East Organization Children’s Garden boasts 3 zones, dozens of attractions, and hours of pure fun for the fam.

At the Toddlers Play zone, younger tots between the ages of 1 and 5 can burn off their energy while balancing on the sway bridge and manoeuvring the stepping springs. There’s also the Fish Fountain with water tunnels and fish sculptures for the mini explorers to check out.

Over at the Rainforest Tree Houses, the young ones will get to flex their muscles on the monkey swing, cross the wobbly suspension bridge, and conquer their fear of heights by scaling the tree house.

To cool off, head over to the Water Play area where jets are motion-activated and shoot water up at various speeds as the kids zoom across.
If you feel like taking a break, the vast open space at the Amphitheatre is the perfect spot for it. The shaded chill area can accommodate up to 300 people and your kiddos might even make a few new friends while you’re there.
Plan a day out at the Children’s Garden
Honestly, where else would you find a water park, several tree houses, and a toddler-safe play space all within the same complex that’s also free to enter? The answer is nowhere besides Children’s Garden.
The attraction is open from 9am-7pm on most days. It’s located inside the iconic Gardens By The Bay so families can easily get there via trains, buses, or cars. Just make sure you douse yourself in sunscreen and bring a change of clothes for the crew. Also, Satay by the Bay is a mere 4-minute walk away, so you know you’ll never have to leave the park hungry.
