Family Holiday

[xtina]

Hi all, I new to traveling overseas, I'm wanting to take my children (9 and 13 yrs) overseas for a holiday. What we are after a desination that has plenty of shopping for me, some sort of fun park (water or rides) , cultural sight seeing. We was thinking Hong Kong or Singapore or kuala lumpur ? Any ideas ? Thanks heaps:)

Hi Xtina,

Depending on if your children have not travelled overseas before, i would definitely suggest Singapore. It is a good mix of East meets West and still incredibly safe.

Check out the Sinapore thread in the Asia forum for more info :)

We recently went to Singapore for a family holiday and stayed on Sentosa Island. I would recommend this the island has lots of activities for the kids and it is only a free quick monorail trip across to Singapore and you are in the heart of shopping and dining.

I have to agree with the others. Singapore is safe, really easy to get around and there are plenty of things to do for children.

They have the Singapore Flyer (like the London Eye), one of the best zoos in the world which also has Night Safari tours and as far as shopping goes you can't get any better in Asia for real materials/products.

I second Singapore :)
