Meet 8 hawksbill turtle hatchlings at Singapore Oceanarium

There’s a new group of tiny ocean stars to meet at the Singapore Oceanarium – and they’re only here for a limited time. In collaboration with NParks, the Oceanarium is currently caring for eight endangered hawksbill turtle hatchlings as part of a special “headstart” conservation programme designed to give them a stronger chance of surviving in the wild.

Here’s an important fact to know: the odds are incredibly tough for sea turtles, with only about one in 1,000 hatchlings surviving into adulthood. To help tip the scales, these little ones are being raised under round-the-clock care until they grow bigger, stronger and better equipped for life in the open ocean.

Originally hatched at NParks’ turtle hatchery on Small Sisters’ Island, the turtles have now moved into a specially designed habitat at the Oceanarium’s Horizontal Migration Zone, where families can observe them up close. The enclosure is carefully designed to mimic natural conditions while shielding the hatchlings from human interaction, helping them develop natural behaviours like foraging before their eventual release.

For kids especially, it’s a rare chance to see young sea turtles during one of the most vulnerable stages of their lives, and a lovely way to spark conversations about marine conservation. 

When: Until early 2027
Where: Singapore Oceanarium, 24 Sentosa Gateway, Sentosa Island, Singapore 098137
How much: From $43 per child, $55 per adult

Swiss Weeks 2026

If your idea of a family day out involves bouncy castles, Swiss snacks, live music and kids running wild on a slip-and-slide, Swiss Weeks 2026 might deserve a spot on your May calendar.

Rainforest Wild Adventure (second phase)

PSA: Rainforest Wild Adventure is opening its second phase from May 20, completing the full 20-hectare experience across habitats inspired by the rainforests of Asia and Africa. Better still, one park ticket now covers both zones, with selected Adventure+ activities included.

For families, the big win is how this park blends wildlife with movement and play. There are wide walkways and forest treks suitable for strollers and wheelchairs, but also plenty of low-barrier adventure elements for active kids. In the new East zone (formerly Rainforest Wild Africa), families can try experiences like the Canopy Glider and Ravine Swing, while little explorers on foot can wander through habitats where animal sightings feel more like spontaneous discoveries than fixed “look here” exhibits.

The East zone is themed around Afro-tropical and Madagascan landscapes, with animals including pygmy hippos, eastern bongos, red river hogs, Nile lechwe and a multi-species Madagascar habitat. A major highlight is the okapi, making its Southeast Asia debut here – a wonderfully unusual rainforest animal with zebra-striped legs that will definitely catch kids’ attention.

As part of the soft opening, ticket holders can also enjoy up to nine Adventure+ activities on weekdays and up to five on weekends, making this feel like a full family day out rather than just a regular zoo visit.

Created by Isabella Chiam, this 45-minute performance celebrates the power of imaginative play in a way that feels especially relatable for families with young children. It’s lively, playful and warm, while also quietly touching on important social-emotional skills like empathy, listening and respecting each other’s differences.

Spanning a massive 10,000 sqm, Exploria takes families through five immersive “worlds” where nature is experienced at completely different scales. Start at Our Interconnected World, where a glowing four-metre LED globe pulses like a heartbeat. Every tap, scan and interaction sends ripples of light across the globe, helping kids see how small actions can create a big impact.

From there, little explorers can walk among towering dinosaurs in Realm of the Giants, complete with a dramatic 360-degree theatre show that sweeps through 500 million years of Earth’s history. In Micro Worlds, interactive glass orbs magnify plankton, fungi and insect colonies, ideal for curious kids who love peering at “gross but cool” things up close.

There’s also Extreme Frontiers, where simulator rooms transport families to icy Arctic landscapes and desert habitats, and Infinite Wonderland, which recreates lush rainforests and coral reefs in vivid detail. Even the mysterious World of Darkness introduces children to glowing deep-sea creatures and cave dwellers.

Each child gets an RFID wristband to create a digital avatar, collect species badges and unlock photo spots, adding a game-like layer that keeps them engaged throughout.

Curiosity Cove at Mandai Wildlife East

Billed as Singapore’s largest indoor nature-inspired playscape, Curiosity Cove at Mandai Wildlife East is a vibrant, educational space designed for kids aged three to 12. They can explore four interactive zones inspired by real-world ecosystems, such as the Wetlands (and learn how water connects ecosystems and supports all living things) and the Forestlands, which immerses them in the Southeast Asian rainforest while uncovering hidden animal homes. Over at the Grasslands, they delve into the social hierarchy of wildlife, including predator-prey behaviours, and find out how animals camouflage in the savannah.
