8 Fun Things to Do in Singapore with Kids (+ eat & sleep)

Sponsored by Tourism Singapore

Today we are excited to share our newfound love for Singapore.

Though many consider it a glitzy and glamourous Asian city packed with high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and lots of people crammed into not a lot of space – hardly the makings of a family-orientated destination – we want to inform you that those stereotypes should not define Singapore.
