A great alternative to beat the heat and humidity while having fun is to pay a visit to the Adventure Cove Waterpark. Thrilling water-slides and the tube rafting will make your day absolutely electrifying. If you have children don’t miss out on the snorkelling reef pool where you will get a chance to admire over 1000 different species of fish. The Waterpark offers also a chill-out option at the wave pool, where one can spend a pleasant time after the challenging day (one-day tickets cost $40 SGD pp, open daily 10.00 am – 6.00 pm).
