Things to Do With Kids in HarbourFront, Telok Blangah and Sentosa, Singapore

18 September 2026 · 17 min read

The counterintuitive thing about this district is that the expensive half is the famous half. Sentosa has about a dozen ticketed attractions and every guide lists all of them. The mainland side has Mount Faber, HortPark, a free treetop walk, a free fort, a rooftop water feature and the best-equipped children's library in Singapore, and almost nobody writes about it.

Two changes this year matter more than anything on a rides list. On 12 July 2026 Circle Line Stage 6 opened, adding Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road and closing the loop between HarbourFront and Marina Bay. HarbourFront is no longer a terminus, and the completed line has 33 stations across 39 km.

Then on 27 July HarbourFront Centre closed for good. Its owner Mapletree is rebuilding the site as a 33-storey development due in the first quarter of 2031, and six businesses this guide would otherwise have listed went with it.

Seven of the 15 places below are free. Every opening time and price here was checked at the operator or the government body that runs the place, never at another guide. Two neighbouring guides cover the places just over the boundary:

• Henderson Waves, the Forest Walk and Telok Blangah Hill Park: read the Queenstown, Tiong Bahru and Redhill guide.
• Reflections at Bukit Chandu and the Kent Ridge Canopy Walk, at the far end of the Southern Ridges: read the Clementi, West Coast and Buona Vista guide.

Mount Faber and the Southern Ridges

1. Mount Faber Park

Photo: LN9267, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

Mount Faber Park is 56 hectares on one of the oldest parks in Singapore, and the climb to it is free in every sense. The Marang Trail starts at the junction by the Seah Im Food Centre car park, runs 700 m up a footpath and staircase, and takes about 15 minutes.

At the top, Faber Point has a panoramic view over the southern coastline and the Southern Islands, a mini Merlion that is much smaller than the one at Marina Bay, and a mural wall below the lookout that runs through Singapore's history from fishing village to port. There are five car parks holding 135 spaces between them and none of them charges anything.

Two things are shut. A footpath section of the Mount Faber Loop has been closed since 14 January 2025 after a slope failure, and the park map shows the alternative routes between Henderson Waves and the cable car station. Car Park D is closed for slope stabilisation until December 2026, so use Car Park C. There is no wheelchair access anywhere in the park.

Why kids will love it: A mini Merlion they can stand next to and photograph without a queue, then a mural wall to walk along and a view with container ships in the strait to count. Come before 9am. The Marang Trail is a staircase in full sun and a six-year-old will not thank you for it at noon.

2. Singapore Cable Car and Mount Faber Peak

Photo: Jungle

The Mount Faber Line runs from HarbourFront Tower Two up to Mount Faber Peak and on to Sentosa, and it is the only cable car in Singapore. Board at Level 15 of HarbourFront Tower Two. The Mount Faber Line round trip is $33 an adult and $22 a child aged 4 to 12, or $31 and $20.70 booked online. The Sentosa Line round trip is $17 and $12 online. A SkyPass covering both lines is $35 and $25.

Since 30 May 2026 the Mount Faber Line has run a Pokemon Day-to-Night Adventure, with 18 cabins themed to the starter Pokemon of the nine regions, two cabins per region. From 7.45pm every passenger gets a UV torch before boarding, which reveals Pokemon silhouettes hidden in the cabin interiors. The collectible silhouette cards at the stations are free.

Why kids will love it: A glass box 70 m above a working container port is the whole sell, and the Pokemon cabins turn a 15 minute ride into a hunt. Go after 7.45pm for the UV torch if your child is old enough to stay up. Under-fours ride free, which makes the round trip cheaper than most families expect.

3. HortPark

HortPark is 10.7 hectares at the Telok Blangah end of the Southern Ridges, and it holds more than ten themed gardens on one site. NParks runs it as a gardening resource hub, which undersells it for a family: there is a bee trail with bee hotels along it, a butterfly garden, and an event lawn big enough to run on. It is wheelchair accessible and elderly friendly throughout, which most of the Southern Ridges is not.

The car park has 149 lots and charges. Visitor services run 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 5pm Monday to Friday, and 8.30am to 12.30pm at weekends and on public holidays, but the park itself is open 6am to 11pm. Do not touch the bee hotels on the bee trail.

Why kids will love it: Bees and butterflies they can get close to, in a park flat enough for a buggy. The butterfly garden holds Common Rose, Lime Butterfly and Common Mormon, and a child who learns to tell those three apart will look for them everywhere afterwards. Come early. The butterflies are out before the heat.

Nearest MRT: Labrador Park (CC27), an 800 m walk.
Ages: 2 and up.

Free at HarbourFront

4. VivoCity Sky Park and Play Court

VivoCity has two outdoor playgrounds and neither of them charges anything. The Sky Park is on the rooftop at Level 3, and the water feature on it covers the area of four Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is ankle-deep, not a pool, and it sits beside the open-air Amphitheatre with a view straight across to Sentosa.

Play Court is the separate open-air playground one floor down at Level 2, with the mall's main nursing room next to it at #02-94, which has nursing cubicles, nappy-changing stations and a hot water dispenser.

The mall opens 10am to 10pm daily. VivoCity does not publish separate hours for the water feature, so treat the mall hours as the outside limit and expect the rooftop to be emptiest before 11am.

Why kids will love it: Running through shallow water in their clothes on a shopping centre roof, cargo ships passing behind them. Bring a towel and spare clothes: the child who promises to only paddle will not. The sculptures add to it: a metal gymnast on a bar 6 m above the water, and giant snowflakes on the roof.

Address: 1 HarbourFront Walk, Singapore 098585. Sky Park is Level 3, Play Court is Level 2. Google Maps
Opening hours: Mall 10am to 10pm daily. No separate published hours for the water feature.
Price: Free.
Nearest MRT: HarbourFront (NE1/CC29), direct from the station.
Ages: 1 to 12.

5. library@harbourfront

Photo: JuneAugust, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

A 3,000 square metre library on Level 3 of VivoCity holding 200,000 volumes, opened on 12 January 2019. It is split into an adults' and teens' zone and a children's zone, and both reading lounges face Sentosa. NLB now calls it Harbourfront Library on its own site, so both names are correct.

The children's zone is the reason to bring a child. It has the Tinker Truck, the first children's makerspace in a Singapore library, built for ages 3 to 9, with do-it-yourself activities and word puzzles. There is a Stories Come Alive Room that uses moving images, light and sound to tell a story rather than read it, two TumbleBook stations and augmented-reality books.

The lobby stays open outside library hours for the bookdrop and the reservation lockers, and there is a window into the back room so a child can watch the auto sorter process returned books.

Why kids will love it: Watching the machine eat the books through the window, then the Stories Come Alive Room, which is a dark room where the walls move. The Tinker Truck suits the three to nine bracket exactly. Go on a weekday afternoon. Saturday is busy, and the library does not open until 11am on any day.

Ages: 0 to 12 in the children's zone. The Tinker Truck is built for 3 to 9.

6. The Sentosa Boardwalk and the Sentosa Express

Photo: Smuconlaw., Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0

You do not have to pay to get onto Sentosa. The Sentosa Boardwalk starts at VivoCity Lobby F on Level 1 and you can walk in for nothing. The Sentosa Express monorail leaves from VivoCity Lobby L on Level 3 and costs $4, or $2 on selected TransitLink concession cards, and is free for child concession card holders and for any child under 7 with an adult. First train 7am, last train midnight.

Part of the Boardwalk has been closed since 22 May 2025 for Resorts World's Waterfront Development works and is not expected back until 2030. Walkers and cyclists are sent round a new covered linkway instead. The Lookout Point stays open.

Coming home is free too on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening. A complimentary shuttle runs from Beach Station Bus Interchange to HarbourFront Bus Interchange, 6pm to 9pm every 10 minutes, and on public holidays and long weekends from 3pm every 10 minutes and from 6pm every 5 minutes. Motorcycles are not allowed onto the island at all.

Why kids will love it: The monorail wins over the walk for anyone under six, and a child under 7 with an adult travels free, so the whole outing to the island can cost one adult fare. Walk one way and ride the other. The Boardwalk is covered and has travelators on the uphill sections.

Sentosa, four entries instead of thirty

7. Fort Siloso and the Fort Siloso Skywalk

Photo: FN-082, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

Fort Siloso is the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore and it is free. The British built it at Siloso Point in the 1880s to guard the harbour approaches. What survives is a military museum, original coastal artillery guns still in position rather than replicas, fortified tunnels you can walk through, and the Surrender Chambers, which stages the fall of Singapore in February 1942 with wax figures. Free guided Fort Siloso Day Tours run at weekends.

The approach is the Fort Siloso Skywalk, a 181 m elevated walkway 11 storeys above the jungle floor. It is also free, it is wheelchair accessible, and it takes 20 to 30 minutes on its own. Allow another 1.5 to 2 hours for the fort.

One thing worth telling a child on the way up. The story that the fort's guns pointed the wrong way is a myth. They could traverse inland and they did fire on Japanese positions at West Coast Road, the Jurong River and Tengah Airfield. The problem was the ammunition, which was armour-piercing shell built for warship hulls, not for infantry on land.

Why kids will love it: Real guns, real tunnels, and a lift to a walkway in the treetops that gets them there. An eight-year-old who has been told the guns actually fired, and why it did not help, will remember this longer than any theme park queue. Do the Skywalk first while everyone is fresh.

Website: Fort Siloso, Sentosa
Address: Siloso Point, Sentosa Island, Singapore. Google Maps
Opening hours: Fort Siloso 10am to 6pm daily. Skywalk 9am to 7pm daily.
Price: Free, both the fort and the Skywalk. No booking needed.
Getting there: Sentosa Line cable car to Siloso Point, or the Sentosa Express to Beach Station then the Beach Shuttle.
Ages: 6 and up for the fort. Any age for the Skywalk.

8. Sentosa Sensoryscape

Photo: ScribblingGeek, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

Sensoryscape is a free 350 m garden trail that links Resorts World Sentosa to the southern beaches through six themed gardens, so most people walk it without realising it is an attraction. The six are Lookout Loop, Symphony Streams, Glow Garden, Palate Playground, Scented Sphere and Tactile Trellis.

Lookout Loop throws beams of light that move when you move. Palate Playground is planted with edible plants, herbs and spices. The trail won Project of the Year at the Building and Construction Authority Awards in 2024.

After dark the ImagiNite experience runs on the same trail, with seven digital light installations and augmented-reality creatures at Scented Sphere and Symphony Streams. Sentosa publishes no separate opening hours for the trail itself, because it is the walking route between the monorail and the beaches.

Why kids will love it: Light that chases them. Lookout Loop reacts to movement, so a six-year-old works out within about a minute that they are controlling it, and then they do not want to leave. Come back after sunset for the same trail in the dark, which is a genuinely different walk.

Website: Sensoryscape, Sentosa
Address: 3 Siloso Road, Singapore 098977. Google Maps
Opening hours: No separate published hours. It is the walking route from Resorts World Sentosa to the beaches.
Price: Free.
Getting there: Sentosa Express to Resorts World Station, or the Sentosa Line cable car to Sensoryscape Station.
Ages: All.

9. Palawan Beach and the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia

Photo: Moheen Reeyad, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

Palawan is the family beach of the three on Sentosa. Siloso is the one with the bars and Tanjong is the quiet one, and Palawan is where the children go. A rope suspension bridge runs from the sand to a small islet billed as the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia, and there is a watchtower on it to climb for a view over the strait and the passing ships. The lagoon is calm and shallow.

Entry to the Southernmost Point is free from 9am to 6.30pm, with last entry at 6pm. Sentosa runs a separate ticketed night programme there from 7pm to 10pm, last entry 9.30pm, and that one is closed on Wednesdays. Children aged 3 and under go free on the night ticket.

Around the beach sit four paid attractions, each a separate ticket:

• Splash Tribe: a sandcastle-themed water playground.
• HydroDash: an inflatable aqua park.
• HyperDrive: electric go-karts.
• UltraGolf: a mini golf course.

Why kids will love it: A wobbly rope bridge over water, then a tower to climb at the end of it, and the whole thing is free. The bridge is the memory. Go in the morning before the sand gets too hot to walk on, and bring water, because the beachfront drinks are priced for tourists.

Address: Palawan Beach, Sentosa Island, Singapore. Google Maps
Opening hours: Southernmost Point 9am to 6.30pm, last entry 6pm. Ticketed night programme 7pm to 10pm, closed Wednesdays.
Price: Beach and Southernmost Point free by day. Splash Tribe, HydroDash, HyperDrive and UltraGolf are separately ticketed.
Getting there: Sentosa Express to Beach Station, then the Beach Shuttle.
Ages: All. HydroDash is from 5, HyperDrive from 7.

10. Sentosa's paid attractions, all in one entry

Photo: Jungle

Every other guide to this part of Singapore is a list of these. You have read it. So here they are once, with what each actually costs where the operator publishes it, and a booking link.

Two names have changed and most guides have not caught up. The S.E.A. Aquarium is now the Singapore Oceanarium, three times the size of the aquarium it replaced, with 22 zones and more than 100,000 marine animals. Tickets start at $43, children under 4 go free, and Sentosa suggests two to three hours. iFly Singapore now trades as AltitudeX at the same address on Siloso Beach Walk.

The rest, with prices where they are published:

• Skyline Luge: $33 for three luge and three skyride rides, $36 for four, $12 for a child doubling with an adult.
• Skyline Luge height rule: a child needs to be 6 and 110 cm to ride alone, or 85 cm with an adult.
• Wings of Time, Siloso Beach: Singapore's only daily fireworks show, about 20 minutes over the sea, 7.40pm and 8.40pm nightly, from $22.
• Nestopia: an open-air climbing frame with 17 play sections, three giant nests 7.5 m off the ground and two long slides.
• Separate tickets at their own operator: Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Cove Waterpark, KidZania Singapore, Madame Tussauds, HydroDash, HyperDrive, Mega Adventure, SkyHelix Sentosa and Sentosa 4D AdventureLand.

Why kids will love it: Skyline Luge wins for the widest age range: a 4-year-old rides doubling with a parent for $12 and a 10-year-old goes alone. Wings of Time at 7.40pm is the cheapest big finish. Pick one paid attraction, not three. All of it in one day costs over $400, and the last one is enjoyed least.

Opening hours: Vary by attraction. Wings of Time is 7.40pm and 8.40pm nightly.
Price: Singapore Oceanarium from $43, under 4 free. Skyline Luge from $33, child doubling $12. Wings of Time from $22. Every other attraction is a separate ticket priced at its own operator.
Getting there: Sentosa Express from VivoCity Lobby L, Level 3.
Ages: 3 and up, varying by ride. Skyline Luge needs 85 cm to ride with an adult.

Indoor, and what the HarbourFront Centre closure took with it

HarbourFront Centre closed on 27 July 2026. Its owner Mapletree confirmed it on 19 June, and the site is being rebuilt as a 33-storey development due in the first quarter of 2031. Six businesses went with it, and several are still listed online as though they were trading.

• Closed with HarbourFront Centre: ARTARY, My English School, The Ballet School, Chess at Three, The Escape Artist and the Sunshine Childhood Playground.
• Closed separately: The Polliwogs at VivoCity, in January 2026.

So the indoor list here is short and honest. These three are open.

11. ZooMoov Safari, VivoCity

Photo: Jungle

ZooMoov runs safari-themed electronic animal rides on Level 2 at VivoCity, next to the Play Court playground. Children sit on a motorised animal and drive it round a marked-out course. It is aimed at the under-tens, and it is the only indoor-scale paid play left in HarbourFront now that the Polliwogs has gone.

ZooMoov does not publish rates on a site any fetch tool can reach, and the mall directory carries no prices. Ask at the counter. Note that the Jungle listing gives the address as Basement 2, which is wrong: the mall's own directory puts it at Level 2.

Why kids will love it: Driving a large plastic elephant themselves, with no adult steering. For a three-year-old that is the entire point. It is 20 metres from Play Court and the Sky Park, so this is the paid 20 minutes in the middle of a free afternoon rather than a destination.

12. SuperBowl Mount Faber at SAFRA

Photo: NoPhysicist, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

Bowling at SAFRA Mount Faber, and you do not need to be a SAFRA member: the rate card has a public row. A student under 21 pays $3.50 a game on a weekday before 6pm, which is the cheapest thing to do indoors in this district. The public rate is $5.50 a game before 6pm on a weekday, $6 after that and all weekend. SAFRA, HomeTeamNS, SuperBowl and PAssion card holders pay $4.30 and $4.80.

Bumper lanes are available for children aged 10 and under at hourly rates. Shoes are $2 a pair and socks are $2 a pair, and socks are compulsory with house shoes. Maximum five bowlers to a lane.

Why kids will love it: Bumper rails mean a five-year-old knocks pins down every single time, which is the difference between a happy hour and a tearful one. Go on a weekday before 6pm, when it is both cheapest and empty. The lanes do not open until noon on weekdays.

Nearest MRT: Telok Blangah (CC28), 1.1 km.
Ages: 4 and up with bumper lanes.

13. fit bloc at Depot Heights

A bouldering gym on the second floor of Depot Heights Shopping Centre with a dedicated kids area and a MoonBoard. There is no rope work here: it is bouldering, so the walls are low and the floor is matted, which is the right introduction for a child.

A child entry is $14 and the recommended minimum age is 5. Every child aged 12 and under has to be accompanied by an adult, and an adult who is only supervising pays $10 for an accompany pass that does not include the walls.

An adult and child bundle is $36, down from $42. Adult single entry is $28 and covers all three fit bloc outlets on the same day. Climbing shoes are $6, and a first-timer bundle of three passes is $55 instead of $84 with shoes, harness and chalk included.

Note the weekday opening time. Depot Heights does not open until 1pm Monday to Friday, which is two hours later than the Jungle listing says.

Why kids will love it: Climbing on a wall they are allowed to fall off. The kids area is set apart from the main bouldering, so a six-year-old is not competing for space with adults training. Bring socks for the hire shoes and go at 10am on a Saturday, when it opens and is empty.

The Southern Ridges runs out at the sea

14. Labrador Nature Reserve

Photo: LN9267, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0

Fort Siloso guarded the harbour from the Sentosa side. Labrador guarded it from the mainland, and the two sets of British coastal guns covered the same stretch of water. That is the thread this district has and no other guide pulls: you can visit both ends of one 1880s defence line in a morning.

Labrador is 22 hectares of coastal forest along Labrador Villa Road. The Keppel Coastal Trail is an elevated, wheelchair-accessible boardwalk through restored coastal beach forest. There is a replica of the Dragon's Teeth Gate, the original of which was blown up in 1848 to widen the channel for larger ships. It holds the only publicly accessible rocky sea cliff on mainland Singapore.

Three closures matter, and they are all on the NParks page rather than anywhere a visitor would look. The Berlayar Creek boardwalk is closed for improvement works from 3 June 2026 until 31 March 2027. Parts of the reserve have been closed since 1 March 2023 for slope works. The Casemate and the Rocky Shore are closed for safety with no reopening date.

Pets are not allowed in the reserve, and cycling and drones are banned throughout. For the full entry with the sandcastle area and the barbecue pits, see the Clementi, West Coast and Buona Vista guide.

Why kids will love it: Concrete gun emplacements that real soldiers really fired, about 15 minutes from the fort on Sentosa that did the same job. Tell a seven-year-old that on the boardwalk and watch the walk change. The coastal trail is flat and buggy-friendly, so this is the easiest nature reserve in Singapore to do with a toddler.

15. Blk 11 Telok Blangah Crescent Market and Food Centre

The biggest hawker centre in the district and the one the estate actually uses. NEA lists 133 stalls at Blk 11 Telok Blangah Crescent, of which 56 are cooked food and 77 are wet market produce. It is HDB-owned, so the prices are estate prices rather than HarbourFront prices, and it is a working market rather than a food court with a hawker theme.

If you want somewhere smaller, Blk 79 Telok Blangah Drive is a pure food centre with 40 cooked food stalls and no market at all, and Blk 36 Telok Blangah Rise has 24 cooked food stalls beside a 29-stall market.

Why kids will love it: The wet market half, honestly. Live fish, whole chickens, stacks of fruit they have never seen, and 77 stalls of it. Do the market first while they are interested and eat afterwards. Go before 11am, when the market is fully open and the food queues have not formed.
