If your family fancies themselves a more tropical version of the Von Trapp family, there’s the Musical Playground to go to. Make music together with the jumbo-sized percussion instruments, like a xylophone and drums.

Pack a bento and a blanket the next time you’re headed to Gardens by the Bay. 2 new spaces have opened up, Moongate Lawn and Active Garden Lawn, that are ideal for picnics. And if it’s a breezy day, bring a kite – there’s ample space to run around to get them floating high in the sky.

Sunny skies are the norm in Singapore, but on the off chance showers come pouring, there’s still reason to picnic at the Active Garden. Just head to the Waterfront Plaza, a shaded pavilion that faces the Marina Bay Reservoir.

All fur-iends welcomed at Mylo’s.
