Where's the best place to go in Singapore?
Post 1 of 2
We're planning to have a vacation in Singapore but we just have limited budget (for a family of 4. My wife and I and our 2 kids). Where's the best place to go in terms of fun things to do, Historical landmarks, tourist spots, shopping and dining? Are there any cheap Hotels? How much would it cost us? (A rough estimate). I heard Singapore is quite expensive in terms of it's cost of living there. I'll appreciate a detailed answer. Thanks!

1. The Singapore Zoo
The Singapore Zoo is among the most visited tourist destination in Asia. If travelling with kids, this is one of the must-visit spots on the island. The Singapore Zoo is been much acclaimed for its open landscape and spaciousness where in the animals live in enclosures simulating that of their natural habitat.
The zoo is filled with exotic animals like white tigers, polar bears, and Asian elephants etc. In addition, the Singapore Night Safari is one of Singapore’s premier tourist attractions. The Night Safari is the world’s first such attraction. Experience wildlife on a 45-minute tram ride or take one of the three Walking Trails to get a feel of the park in eight geographical zones covering forty hectares of forested park.
The sight of watching over one hundred different species of nocturnal animals (including leopards, lions and tigers) is simply amazing and something you will remember always.
2. Jurong Bird Park
If you're bored of seeing the numerous shopping malls and restaurants in Singapore, then try visiting the Singapore Jurong Bird Park. The Jurong Bird Park is the largest open-concept bird park in the Asia Pacific, with over 600 species of birds.
You can take a ride on the air-conditioned Panorail for a scintillating sight of the Park. You can also enjoy the fantastic Penguin Exhibit with an underwater viewing gallery, along with the world-clas All-Star Bird Show.
3. Sentosa
The island of Sentosa is just south of the main Singapore island. This place is another must-visit place as it contains Singapore's famous Sentosa beach resort. If you want to hang out on the beach and read a good book, there is no better place to do it than Sentosa beach.
There are also great hotels (e.g. the Rasa Sentosa) which provide top notch accommodation. You can also visit relics from the Second World War in Singapore, and go to the Underwater World where all sorts of interesting sea creatures reside.
4. The Singapore Botanic Gardens
Among the most interesting and most visited place in Singapore is the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The gardens are a lush and scenic park spread over 52 hectares of land right in the heart of the city.
The garden is accessible from the Holland road and Cluny Road, just off the western end of Orchard Road. The park is a great spot for people who want to enjoy time at a leisurely pace, go for a jog or set up a picnic spot. The Botanic Gardens are rather distinctive as they contain a whole variety of flora from differing climates.
5. Haw Par Villa
