Get that holiday feeling without leaving the country with a night or more at one of these 26 kid-friendly staycations in Singapore — many of which are offering special deals for 2020!
Feeling glum that you aren’t able to go abroad for school holidays any time soon? While we feel ya, we reckon we could get pretty excited about a family staycation in Singapore if it means a break from the norm. Staying at a hotel with a family room (or family suite), a beautiful swimming pool, hotel breakfasts or high tea (and no cleaning up), TV in bed, kids’ clubs… Beginning to like the sound of a staycation in Singapore yet? If you’d normally opt for a beach holiday, try a staycation on Sentosa. If your family usually goes on adventurous trips try a staycation on a yacht, or near a veggie farm! Cultural trip lovers? Book a staycation near all the kid-friendly museums. Or if you are looking to keep the rugrats entertained how about a staycation where your hotel has a superb kids club with pirate ships and slides or offers tickets to Nerf Action or Kiztopia for free? Some of the best staycations in town have some great deals on like “stay 3 nights, pay 2 nights” plus you should always see if there are good offers on klook.com before you book!
