ArtScience Museum: Klook Discount

ArtScience Museum is one of my favourite museums in Singapore because it doesn't take itself too seriously. What they curate, is always fun, easy to absorb and ease into. I am usually there when there is some artist curation. But this time round, it was the children who wanted to go, mainly because there an ongoing exhibition on the anatomy of insects. It was a very colourful exhibit, but not my favourite topic.

To be honest, it was the Sketch Aquarium that captured their attention the most. It was very interactive with slides and drawn animation. Also, you get to snap really pretty photos. From an artistic perspective, the husband and I felt that was the most frivolous art form. But the kids were truly engaged and couldn't wait to be back. ArtScience Museum usually rotates the curation yearly. So I guess it is next year :P

Off the beaten track - Shanghai Wild Animal Park

As you can tell by now, I stayed really long in Shanghai and explored some really good attractions that are not usually on most people's itineraries. For young families or even anyone, Shanghai Wild Animal Park was surprisingly fun and memorable!

You could feed literally every animal in the Shanghai Wild Animal Park which was awesome. As long as you paid around S$5, you would get a packet of food to feed the animals. We arrived in the late morning and missed a great deal of feeding sessions. Unlike our Mandai Zoo, the Shanghai Wild Animal Park had lots of animals of the same species. It was quite a sight watching the kangaroos fighting with another pair trying to mate in the background. 

The whole area was huge, we couldn't finish within the day. In addition, there was even a themepark nested within it. Truly regretted not arriving earlier. The children enjoyed it thoroughly and I think their mandarin might have improved, learning the names of all the animals there. If you love Pandas, there are even a pair of toddler twins there!

Our favourite was definitely the VIP ride that allowed you to feed ferocious animals up-close. I have never got to do that in my whole life and it was exhilarating. You had to pay around S$20 extra for the VIP experience and would be given some food. Depending on luck (which side the animals choose to stroll pass), you might not get to feed all. 

We were pretty lucky and got to feed the lions, white tigers, brown bear and a pack of hungry wolves. I took this ride the first thing when we arrived. But I think it could have been saved for last and I could focus feeding more animals in the park in the morning. In any case, this beats Mandai (Sorry Mandai!) For lunch, I would suggest having the Lanchengxiang Lanzhou Beef Noodles (if you can take beef) and get something separate for the children. The rest of the food selection was just meh!

Based on our research, best price is via Klook and there are occasional bundle options (1A + 1C, 2A +2C). Buy at least one day ahead for the best price!

DIY Easter at Home

This Easter, everyone was feeling a little under the weather. So we decided to do a Easter Hunt at home. Really friendly for our wallets too! We got the plastic eggs from Daiso and raided our fridge for snacks and chocolates to fill our eggs. All we had to do was to hide the eggs. And I took photos to remember where I hid them all. 

It was quite a hit. The kids had so much fun. They re-created the whole hunt themselves a few times. No need to pay for a hunt, they say <3 Can you spot where I hid them all? It was so much fun for me too!
