Height restrictions for attractions in Singapore
Sentosa
There’s a good reason why Sentosa is known as Asia’s favourite playground. There’s just so many things to do! Best of all, there’s no need to jet off or take a ferry to a nearby island to enjoy the beach. In fact, if you have the time, why not plan a staycation to enjoy all the island has to offer? Check out our handy guide to Sentosa to see all there is to do in the State of Fun!

Universal Studios Singapore
Do you remember when you went to your first theme park? So do we, and we think Universal Studios Singapore is a great way to get the kids excited about rides.

AJ Hackett Sentosa
If the rides at Universal Studios aren’t enough of an adrenaline rush for your little thrill-seeker, then head over to Siloso Beach for AJ Hackett Sentosa. There’s a glass-panelled Vertical Skywalk where you can walk downwards from a height of 42m, and a dual Giant Swing that clocks speeds as fast as 120km/hour – definitely not for the faint of heart! And if you really want a (heart-stopping) challenge, check out the Bungy Jump which has a devastating 47-metre drop… Eeek!

GX-5 Xtreme Swing and Trampoline Bungy
Once you’ve satisfied the kids’ ravenous appetites at one of these kid-friendly cafes along the river, walk further down Clarke Quay to try out – if you dare – the GX-5 Xtreme Swing and Trampoline Bungy. Can’t find it? Just look up and follow the screams! Perfect for when teenagers are claiming to be bored: this will whip them out of that teen inertia quick-smart.

It’s long been one of our favourite water parks in Singapore, and after a facelift, it’s better than ever. There’s something for everyone (including super brave teens) and a water play area for tiny tots. A wave pool and giant unicorn inflatables seal the deal.

Forest Adventure
Finding ways to entertain high-spirited kids can be quite a task. So when we heard about Forest Adventure, we knew it would be a great way to get the kids outside and get them climbing and zipping around. We personally love the obstacle courses and how they’ve been grouped by age-level. If your kids are up for a challenge, then Forest Adventure is the way to go! We’re still trying to forget our Bridget Jones moment on the zip line across the lake…
