1/2 day itineraries, out and about in Singapore with Little Kids

#4: Esplanade and Marina Bay on Sunday afternoon!



Come and join my family on our semi-regular Sunday afternoon meander around Marina Bay!

This is a bit of a 'witching hour outing' so look out for the family scooting, kicking, screaming, stopping, starting and cussing all the way from Esplanade to Marina Bay and back!

Starting at the Esplanade Mall (at about 4pm when the sun has lost it's sting) we hang a left at the Outdoor Theatre and follow the footpath past the floating stadium, across the Helix Bridge, past the Arts Science Museum,  and along the Marina Bay Promenade to a little waterhole called South Coast.  Here we take a break and enjoy a glass of wine (well one of us enjoys a glass of wine while the other chases Miss May around the palm trees)... and SWAP!

We then head back the same way.  With older kids you might consider doing the entire loop around the bay (4 km).  There are several walking guides available to help you on your way!

We are either too lazy or too hungry (or both) so tend to make a bee-line to Glutton's Bay, a Hawkers centre squashed between the floating stadium and the Esplanade.  If you can get a good table 'kudos to you' OR if not, grab something take-away and continue onto the outdoor theatre and chow down while you listen to rock, pop, classical or traditional javanese music - which ever is featuring on the evening you happen upon!

Such a great way to finish the weekend!
