16 Family-Friendly Things To Do In The North Of Singapore
Lower Seletar Reservoir Park
image

Grab your picnic blanket and plan an al-fresco feast at this man-made “lake”, recently upgraded by the National Environment Agency.

It’s popular with joggers and kayakers, too.

Yishuan Ave 1 and Lentor Ave

ORTO
image

Roughly the size of seven football fields, this rustic sanctuary offers various family-friendly activities like fishing, trampolining and paintball — 24 hours a day!

There’s even a bistro and bar where you can dine and drink before the 10:30pm curfew.

81 Lor Chencharu

Maximum Drift
image

Also within ORTO: Maximum Drift, a drift karting arena with electric motor-powered karts that boast superior acceleration. It’s safe for the kids, too!

#01-15, 81 Lor Chencharu 

Yishun Dam
image

Bring your camera and capture the old charm of Singapore as you stroll along this scenic dam.

Just note: It’s only accessible by car.

Along Yishun Ave 1

Jurong Frog Farm
image

American Bullfrogs farmed here are supplied to local eateries.

Yes, frog meat is a thing, and it’s a local delicacy!

Thohirah
image

Spice up your life at this Indian-Muslim food house along the stretch of Jalan Kayu.

Die die must try: the ridiculously delicious, crispy roti prata — for only $1.

258 Jalan Kayu

F.O.H Cafe
image

The name of this cute coffee shop is short for “Forever Happy.”

And its prices will really put a smile on your face: a cup of premium-bean joe plus a slice of cake is just $8.80.

30 Woodlands Ave 1

Tagore Industrial Park
image

This is where you can find housewares, furniture and grocery staples for up to 30 per cent off retail price!

Truth is, even most Singaporeans don’t know about the hidden place (and the secret’s well-kept — they haven’t got an established online presence, either).

440 Tagore Industrial Ave

Kampong Lorong Buangkok
image

Visit Singapore as it was in the ’60s at the last remaining kampong on the mainland.

The zinc-roof houses and relaxed atmosphere of the village are a stark contrast to the vertical HDBs in the skyline.

7 Lor Buangkok

Old Chin Huat Hydroponics Farm
image

Go for the freshly grown produce. Stay for an educational tour at the Butterfly Lodge to learn about biodiversity.

14A Boh Soon Poh Road

Chong Pang City
image

Ask for any local about “Chong Pang” and they’ll almost always come back to you with a reply involving its famed Nasi Lemak .

Try this famous local dish comprising coconut rice and delish sides at this HDB estate.

447 Sembawang Road

Bollywood Veggies
image

This countryside organic farm organises educational activities and farm tours.

Then, pop into the laid-back eatery and tuck into homegrown delights.

100 Neo Tiew Road

Sembawang Hot Springs
image

Welcome to Singapore’s one and only natural hot spring!

The minimalist pump may not be much to look at, but your tired feet and skin won’t complain.

BYO bucket and chair!

Along Jalan Ulu Sembawang

Play Paintball
image

Head on down to Camp Challenge and flex your shooting skills — playing virtual games don’t count though — with your friends and family.

Sessions start at $10 per pax. For more information visit Camp Challenge here.

8 Admiralty Road East

Go Wakeboarding
image

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, wakeboarding at Wake Pirates is heaps of fun!

And that’s not all, all equipment are available for rent so all you have to do is show up, and try your best.

Visit the official website for more information on booking schedules and more.

43 Admiralty Road West

Take A Stroll Along Woodlands Waterfront Park
image

The 1.5km long waterfront promenade makes for an amazingly tranquil walk. On clear days, you could actually see parts of Johor too.
