5 Best Experiences Of Our One Week In Singapore
From Sentosa Island to Universal Studio and Night Safari, Singapore was really astounding for us. Following are the best experiences of our one week in Singapore trip:
1. Adventures Of Nocturnal Night Safari
On the first day of our Singapore trip, we headed for the amazing night safari during sunset. This beautiful place is home to over 1,000 animals representing nearly 100 species and one can check them out indulging in their nightly rituals. The Singapore night safari enthralled us, especially my kid. The entire region is divided into 7 geographical zones which can be covered either by foot by a tram. We also attended the cultural performances here including the one by the local tribals. We also visited the restaurant at the Night Safari, named Ulu Ulu Safari which served delicious local food.

From theme parks to beaches, and shopping to enormous aquariums, Sentosa is truly a once in a lifetime experience. This island surprised us with the world’s biggest aquarium, that is, the S.E.A.
