Family Ties and Singapore Skies: Shital’s Review of a Trip to Singapore
Shital’s child is a huge fan of superhero movies, and one evening after dinner, the family was busy watching Krrish.
“Look at those towering buildings and monuments! Singapore looks so beautiful,” her husband remarked, intrigued by the scenes.
Their little one merrily added, “Mom, can we go there during my winter vacations?"
Shital suggested, “We could visit Universal Studios, check out the Night Safari, and explore the Gardens by the Bay!” turning to her husband.
He smiled, clearly impressed by the idea of a trip to Singapore. “That sounds wonderful! Just think of all the fun we’ll have discovering new things together!”
As the movie continued, the family found themselves daydreaming about walking along Marina Bay Sands and trying authentic Singaporean street food.
Before the movie credits rolled, they had already started looking for stays and flights, filled with excitement about the family trip. “Let’s do it!” Shital said, and with that, she booked a Singapore adventure with Thrillophilia, ready for a family trip unlike any other.
Experiencing the Extraordinary
To know Singapore is to love Singapore. Shital’s friends once told her that visiting Singapore turns the mundane into the extraordinary. The family realized that everything they had heard was true as soon as they reached Changi Airport.
From the beginning, it was clear that this trip would be full of experiences that would fascinate both adults and children.
Changi Airport – it was something out of this world, as the family had not been to an airport this beautiful anywhere else. Shital’s husband was charmed by its breathtaking beauty.
“Wow, is this really an airport?” her son gasped, pointing at the Rain Vortex. “I’ve never seen anything like it!”
“Welcome to Singapore!” Shital chuckled. The art installations and lush green indoor gardens were simply spellbinding.
“If the airport looks like this, think about our experiences once we step outside!” her husband said, and Shital couldn’t agree more.
In the evening, the family visited the Night Safari Zoo, where the jungle comes alive under the stars. Her son, eyes wide open, clutched Shital’s hand the moment they boarded the tram. As they explored the seven themed zones, they spotted several exotic animals including tigers, hippos, and rhinos. The thrill of watching a lion with its eyes glowing in the night was a mind-blowing experience.
Their wildlife exploration didn’t end there; the family also enjoyed an evening full of cultural immersion, watching various traditional dance performances. The combination of culture and nature during the safari set a charming tone for their family trip.
A Feast for the Senses
In every corner of a new place, there’s a symphony of sights, sounds, and scents just waiting to be discovered.
During sightseeing tours, every place felt like a new chapter from a fantasy novel, filled with colourful landscapes and exciting experiences.
They began with Merlion Park, finding the popular statue of the lion showering water into the bay. As they stood there, with the skyline in the background, Shital reflected on the fusion of modernity and history that Singapore housed. Her son marvelled at the statue, and the moment turned into a lovely photo opportunity for the family.
Visiting Gardens by the Bay was truly the highlight of the day. The moment they stepped into the Cloud Forest, they were surrounded by mist, revealing a stunning waterfall cascading down towering cliffs. Her little boy giggled and splashed in the gentle water sprays as Shital and her husband admired the stunning arrangement of flowers.
The Flower Dome was described as a riot of colours, with every flower showcasing a unique charm. Her son excitedly pointed out flowers, exclaiming, “Dad, check that one out! Mom, look over there!”
Thrills, Laughter, and Ice Cream
Singapore is a city built on dreams, innovation, and diversity.
This was especially evident at Universal Studios, which transported the family to an entirely different dimension. Initially, Shital assumed it would be a playground just for her son, but she quickly realized how wrong she was. Her husband and she felt a rush of excitement as soon as they stepped into the park.
The world of characters and movies they had watched growing up came to life right in front of them. From the magical realms of Far Far Away to the exciting rides in Sci-Fi City, every corner of Universal Studios was full of fun. Watching her son’s face glow while meeting his favourite characters was a delight that words couldn’t fully capture.
Each ride was a thrilling experience; the family laughed, screamed together, and shared moments of pure happiness. They also enjoyed street performances and parades, which added more layers of fun to their day at the studios.
During sunset, the family sat on a bench enjoying ice cream, talking about what each of them liked the most. It was a beautiful moment of connection, a gentle reminder of why travelling together is important.
From Cable Cars to Water Slides
The family’s day trip to Sentosa Island was like the cherry on top of an already splendid trip.
The cable car ride was a memorable experience as we glided over the lush green Mount Faber and got a chance to admire the clear waters below. We also visited the Adventure Cove Waterpark, where we splashed in the pools and tried thrilling slides.
To be honest, it felt really amazing to relive our childhood with our little boy.
The night in Sentosa Island was even better with the breathtaking 'Wings of Time' show. As we watched the fantastic display of water, sound, and lights, I looked at my family and noticed their faces glowing with light and happiness.
It was a special moment where technology and nature became one, making them feel part of something magical.
P.S. As they said “Thanks ‘Krrish’ for giving us the idea of visiting Singapore together.”
