*Nice zone at the back where the plastic balls are sucked up tubes and fall to play music.*
Great space with a wide variety of different play areas for the kids to explore. Remember to bring your own socks! I reckon two hours would be just about enough, but the packages they have are one and three hours respectively.
Prices as indicated and most of the obstacles are large enough for adults to follow suit without much difficulty which is a great plus point!
Built in the 1990s, the Pang Sua Pond is a stormwater collection pond that collects rainwater runoff from the surrounding areas before the water is pumped to the Upper Seletar Reservoir for storage and treatment.
The place has its annual lightups throughout the year for various events. This time round was visiting the last day for the light up for Mid Autumn Festival.
A nice little stroll especially with the lights on. The closest parking is Block 406/7 HDB Fajar, which brings you directly to the entry point of the raised platform.
Overseas trip without quarantine or requirement for vaccination during the time of visit. Pulau Ubin has long been popular for the wildlife that resides there, as well as for tons of activities from cycling, camping and much more. This trip is a small fraction of the many activities to do in Pulau Ubin but covers briefly the main overarching points of getting there, getting around and back.
There's isn't a regular service per say but whenever the boat is filled to a max capacity of 12, then the skipper gives the all board signal to go across. The same works for the return. (If you want to move off with less than the 12 capacity, a differential charge of missing pax would be presumably charged. Negotiable with the skipper of the day)
Checking out other blogs, ticket charges were from $2, later $3 per head. During our visit, it was $4 per pax. For another party which brought their own bikes, that skipper charged them for the bicycles they brought on (counting as another pax)
On the island, there are a few ways to get around. Basically slow walks/hike, cycling which is the most common and popular, or an internal internal taxi service that charges different fixed rates to the various locations.
Cycling Renting Bicycles
(The most popular and common way to get around)
Prices are far and varied from shop to shop. We didn't ask each of them but would just like to share that they have kid friendly versions where child is able to pilion ride with comfort in a seat. (Either in front of the rider or behind). We rented from 45C Bicycle Rental.
We went for the ones where the child sat behind and rental fees for these newer ones were at $12 per bike for the whole day. The front seated ones were $8. 45C Bicycle Rental was very kind to care for our baby stroller till our return.
Ubin has its beautiful nostalgia to simpler times. Most of the areas are accessible via paved roads and have decent amount of foliage to stay cool. There are some undulating terrain portions but a large majority of the terrain is flat which makes for leisurely riding.
This is but a small fraction of Ubin and would definitely return to explore more of what the huge island has to offer. Eateries as well as mini stalls selling food, snacks and other supplies are available. Stay hydrated and bring water if possible. We did not site any free water cooler top-up points and toilet water was labeled non portable.
Telok Blangah Hill is most known when the bougainvillea hedges are in full bloom. It is a slight challenge to make it up the stairs and stroller accessible only by the service road around the back. The peak offers a nice view of the cable car running towards Sentosa. Click here for ABBA location at Telok Blangah Hill Park
Southern Ridges
Excellent
walking path that's gently sloped, stroller accessible and offers great
views all around. The walk downhill is leisurely and one can see a variety of plants
from rubber trees to saga trees.
However for the return journey, joining the earth trail would quicken the accent with a relatively shorten flight of stairs.
You might be interested in the Japanese Cemetery Park where its known both for its bougainvillea hedges as well as Saga seed tree.
A nice leisurely stroll with a view of the southern ridges. The incline isn't too steep and workouts may vary as there is the option of a nature trail for a little more challenge. Great park to explore in the area.
