The Istana Open House makes for a pretty lovely Sunday outing, especially if the kids need some room to roam! We spent a few hours exploring The Istana grounds, wandering through the gardens and even spotting swans. We went around noon and expected a long queue, but surprisingly, it wasn’t too bad.
You can also bring your own food and drinks for a picnic on the lawns. If you’d rather buy something there, food trucks and drinks are available, including Old Chang Kee, Swensen’s and State of Affairs. There are toilets on-site too, which is always good to know when you’re out with the kids!
