The Animal Resort

This place is filled with wonders! We were shocked or rather surprised to find the place filled with kids and parents. I'm feeling positive about this place and I'm right.

Kris had a wonderful time feeding all the animals and refused to go home after 2 hours.

Verdict
The animal food were relatively cheap at $2.00 per 3 packs which you could choose from a variety of horse feed, birds feed, rabbits & guinea pig feed, all animal excluding horse feed and fish feed. We decided to grab horse feed, all animal excluding horse feed and rabbits & guinea pig feed.

1st stop: We stopped by the horse barn. There is only one over fed horse which is constantly being fed. Kris was afraid as the horse opened its mouth to grab a piece of carrot. She clinged on to daddy but still wants to go ahead to feed the horse.

2nd stop: The pond. The pond is cloudy with algae and debris. We couldn't locate any fishes but decides to throw some food into the pond. Once we threw the food in the pond, the fishes quickly swam to the surface to gobble up the food. Kris pulled us away as the ducks and birds caught her attention.

3nd stop: As we walked around the place, free roaming ducks and birds greeted us as we threw the animal food on the ground. The ducks and birds were soon following us to gobble up the food. Kris hid behind her daddy for protection as the birds became more aggressive.

4th stop: To the rabbit and guinea pig enclosure. The rabbits are indivdual caged and there were numerous pieces of carrots and rabbit feed laying around. Obviously, the animals are over fed here! Kris offered the rabbit a piece of carrot and waited for a long time before the rabbit nibbled on the carrot tip and she dropped the carrot immediately. She looked at me and requested for another piece of carrot.

5th stop: Off to the peacock enclosure. Do note the holes on the cage where tiny hands are able to fit in. Kris inserted her hands into the cage to greet the peacocks. We had to pull her out and told her not to do that as the animals may get aggresive and decides to nibble on her instead. She looked at us in dismay.

6th stop: Last but not least, there is a "Tuck Shop" where cold drink and some hot snacks are sold. There are also coin deposits rides available for the kids which ranged from 20 cents to 50 cents. This is so cheap. I could never find a 20 cent ride anywhere else in Singapore. Kris had her animal rides where we had our cold drinks to end the tour.

There is also a small washing area for cleaning after feeding the animals. 

Carpark is free as well!

Mount Faber

Not knowing how to celebrate Labour day, we stopped by Spuds & Apron located in Mount Faber. My husband, A and Kris has a pre-dinner event at the Koi pond feeding the fish and our overly excited Kris nearly fell into the pond.

KidsSTOP

We decided to stop by KidsSTOP on a Sunday afternoon. The first impression that I have is WOW!!! The place is bursting with children yelling, running and most of all laughing. My niece, K and Kris had an amazing time and refused to leave after 3 hours. We literally had to drag them out of the center.

Verdict
Remember to bring your own socks.
 

The entrance fee is pretty economical at $10/child (18 mths - 8 years old), $5/adult or senior citizen. This rate applies to weekends and public holidays. Weekdays rates is almost half.

Do note the operating hours.

This place is really educating the kids through play. Learning can be really fun. The place is divided into 4 main categories (Imagine, experience, discover and dream) totally 24 stops and each child can choose how long they want to stay at one stop.

There is a mini slide located near the Smaller World stop and Kris couldn't stop climbing up the steps and sliding down while my niece have a busy time "re-arranging" the plot of mushrooms.

The Supermarket is a hit for all children. The girls had a amazing time being shoppers, cashiers and cook. They spent the longest time in this stop and refuse to leave. The downside to this area is that there are too little shopping cart and kids are fighting over the scare shopping cart.

The Rain Cloud is a hit with the girls as they weather through the "rain" to the other side of the land to find mummy waiting for them. The girls really like this "Peep a boo" area where surprises awaits at the other end.

The Virtual Pond is also interesting as it's reflect a digital image of a pond with lilies, frog, fishes. Kris had a busy time trying to catch the fishes, laying in the pond and chasing after butterflies.

The Big Dream Climber had numerous huge pieces of lego for kids to build their dream home or car. The girls grown tired of this area after 5 minutes as they were more interested in being singers.

Off we go to our next stop at the Kiddie Theatre where the girls has an amazing time putting on the party gear, singing and dancing along to familar nursery rhymes.

Do take care of young kids at Math Stop as there were many green beans scattered all around (Tables, floor, etc). I quickly ushed the girls out of this room for fear of them picking up the beans and eating them! Kris has a record of putting everything into her mouth!

Do take care of young kids as the older kids tend to be overly excited at times. Kris had a yelling session with one of the older boys at the Supermarket stop.
