Singapore Science Centre

Our Initial plan was to go for Samuel's massage and then the zoo but things don't always turn out the way we want. It took quite a while for me to decide what to do when he is done with school. I decided to go to the Singapore Science Centre and boy, before even entering, I was sold and signed up for Individual Membership. Hey, it's only $28 the whole year and it's free for kids below 3. It's great for rainy days (when I don't know what to do with him) and nice educational outing. Highly recommended. Not to mention there are plenty of shows, cafes, Macdonald's...lots to do there, really.

We watched the Beavers 2D movie at the Omni Theatre...NICE! The Science Centre is really so big and full of interesting exhibits that we only managed to go thru' only 40% of it (3 hrs).

Interesting animals including Exotic breeds. He loves this Big Bird!

Arctic Education: Polar bear & ball pool
Samuel learned about skeletons but he found it rather strange and can't relate it to a man.
Learning about Virus-all sorts including Mouth
SARS Bus which Samuel loved! He kept running in and out-sitting on the seat etc...
Sounds: Using sticks to make sounds on pots & pans, xylophone and cymbals...
Really a great excuse to include some Playhouses...they really know how to attract kids.
I can't remember what this was - possibly some kinetic energy thingy.
Low-ceiling Hamster & Mice room. Very cute.
Sound pipes: Samuel kept saying 'Hello'!
More fun with 'sounds' using a shoe sole to tap on the pipes.
Water Works: I didn't expect a water playground there so had to buy a new t-shirt to change him afterwards.
Learning how to 'Save Water'...xx litres washing dishes, xx litres for washing machine/washing car etc.
Finally, headed to Jurong Country Club for French Fries - a treat which I promised him if he will leave Water Works.
The green is tempting for running but now he's aware that he can't else Mommy will get scolded!
