| Review 2 | It’s a nice and clean place with choices of attraction. Walking around Sentosa for a day trip was fun! Lots of interesting architecture to see and restaurants to visit. |

| Review 1 | We are very grateful that our son enjoys his classes with Brainy Moves since he was in Primary 1 until now, and we noticed the tremendous development in him! He was lagging during the 1st Semester of Primary 1. A few months after joining Brainy Moves, he started to pick up his reading, writing, and non-academic areas such as understanding the instructions, social skills, and willingness to study. Now, he is in Primary 4 and fully confident in his academics and keeps improving his non-academic skills. I believe these results are part of Brainy Moves’ regular training. My son has fantastic and lovely coaches, very dedicated and passionate! My son loves them so much and always look forward to his Thursday session with Brainy Moves.😆 Highly recommending Brainy Moves for all of your children!!! |
| Review 2 | My son has been with Brainy Moves for the past 4 months. We noticed that he is now more confident, physically fitter, and able to listen better to instructions. He enjoys going to Brainy Moves a lot as their sessions are always fun and innovative. The trainers are very caring, encouraging, and patient and their program is personalized for individual child’s needs. I would definitely recommend Brainy Moves to anyone who is looking for holistic learning activities for their children. 😊 |
| Review 3 | Awesome Brain training program at Brainy Moves! I am very impressed with the Brain exercises they have personalized according to every child’s needs and ability. My child has benefited from the conducive learning environment at Brainy Moves where she enjoys her classes thoroughly. She is always very enthusiastic before and after each and every lesson and is always looking forward to sharing with me what she had done in class. Coach James Tang and his team of trainers are very professional in carrying out the programs well. I am very glad that my child is now able to focus better on her work and her confidence in trying out new things has also improved. |

SG Clean certified as well, with staff wiping down all equipment and plenty of hand sanitizers at both entrance and exit of the game room. |
| Review 2 | My bros(and sistas) and I went to check out Zero Latency. Enjoyed the VR game which I estimate was about 30mins. The equipment is clean and well maintained. *For those wearing glasses, you can either wear a contact lens or use the VR Google directly (accordingly to the staff it can be used until about 500 degrees). After the games, you will be able to see your scores to see how you faired (it will be emailed to you as well)Good indoor social activity for those who prefer aircon. |

| Review 1 | Visiting the museum is a great way to spend a weekend afternoon. It helps the mind to switch gears after a week’s work. There are multiple galleries, so you can easily spend 3 to 5 hours here just walking through the different exhibitions. If you are unsure of where to start, you can always approach the counter at Level 1. If you have a membership, there is also a discount in the shop on Level 1 and also on the dining options. There are several dining options with great views of the Padang and the city skyline. The shop has nice items which have local Singaporean elements which are great gifts for friends who might be visiting Singapore from overseas. |
| Review 2 | National Gallery is located in the heart of CBD just opposite the Padang. The building is rich in heritage but the interior is beautifully designed. The architecture combines neoclassical with modernity. There are thousands of artworks on display ranging from historical paintings, abstract parts, contemporary masterpieces, and visual arts. |
| Review 3 | The gallery is very grand, can get lost easily in certain areas. The interior design is so beautiful. Learned some interesting history about the gallery, Singapore, and Singapore artists. There are a lot of stairs but there are lifts, ramps, and escalators in some areas. Definitely a good gallery to visit for all ages. |

| Review 1 | One of our fav indoors for kids under 8, spent good half a day there and our LOs had lots to go around, esp at the bouncing park. Despite waiting time was quite a while it was worth, will be great if they can introduce an online booking tool so that we can plan time better through the stay. The walking park was challenging for the LOs but one staff Nathan and in fact, most of the service staff in Canopy Park are always very attentive and hospitable. Nathan went all out to help the kids get through the obstacles and encouraged them to complete with no fear, huge Thank YOU! Will be great to see new changes to the art displays once in a while and also, maybe to include all attractions within the park in one ticket as it gets quite confusing during booking. |
| Review 2 | The latest attraction in Singapore. A comfortable indoor park with several activities within it. On its own, it’s a nice leisurely walk, with lots of greenery in an aircon environment and multiple photo opportunities. There are sub-attractions within it that are ticketed separately such as the Bouncing Nets / Walking one. The bouncing one is more for the kids. I went for the walking version, and it was a little scary, perhaps because I wasn’t in the right shoes. They do provide non-slip covered rubber shoes for you if you need them, I should have taken up the offer. It was fun nonetheless and they’ve got staff up there to help you along. Highly recommended for those making a stopover in Singapore, or have a late-night flight out of Singapore. You can check-in early and drop off the luggage, spend an hour or two here, have a meal before you leave. |
| Review 3 | The park is located at L5. Tickets can be bought both online or on-site at the ticketing booth. Once you enter you’ll be greeted by animals that are made from flowers where you can take photos. There’s also a slide in which even adults can play and a small garden near the exit. I also bought the ticket for Manulife Sky Net- bouncing. So there’s a digital queue system for it where you’ll have to scan a QR code and key in your phone number to queue for it. Do note that once a certain limit has been reached, queueing would not be possible and you would have to wait maybe around a few minutes to half an hour before the system opens up the queue. That was what happen with my friends and I where I managed to queue for the last 2 pax before the system stopped accepting. So among the 3 of us, 2 of us went in first. The bouncing sky net is so fun, definitely worth queueing for. Make you feel like a kid all over. Do drink plenty of water before entering as you’ll definitely feel dehydrated from all the bouncing. Even if you don’t purchase the sky net just the canopy park is good enough. Plenty of space to seat and walk around. Good for families with kids, friends, and dates. |

| Review 1 | BJJ coaches were thorough in explaining and correcting each technique. Professional and highly skilled coaches maintained a culture of mutual respect in the gym. Shout-out to Robyn for checking on every student even when classes are packed and for being encouraging and supportive! Coach Zorro was also kind and down-to-earth, patiently correcting my moves and answering my questions. Unfortunately, classes are quite short and the coach-student ratio is high which will be a challenge if you’re looking to train competitively. |
| Review 2 | Great gym with highly skilled coaches that seem to enjoy the classes. They run single classes at a time, it’s, therefore, less crowded and you get to know people a lot better. Reminds me of Apollo Creed’s gym in Rocky 3😊 |
| Review 3 | Extremely friendly coaches who always go above and beyond to ensure that trainees feel comfortable. Kru Yo and Mark have made every session fun to work out a good sweat! |

| Review 2 | Stayed for 3 days and there were lots of activities available, especially for kids. The room was spacious and clean. Their staff was all friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet had some varieties too and the food tasted great. Due to covid restrictions, you’ll have to book everything in advance of course, but that’s expected and actually a good thing. We’ll definitely come back and spend a few more days there to enjoy all the offerings |

| Review 1 | A great place to spend the weekend here. Check out the National Museum website to find out the latest exhibitions. With Covid-19, New measures were put in places like stylus provided to avoid touching those interactive screens with your hands and fingers. The use of RFID tags to interact with the exhibits is also something the kids find interesting. Will definitely come again. |
| Review 2 | Spent several hours going through most of the exhibitions. Interesting historical information on Singapore and its growth. Particularly liked the Picturing the Pandemic, Growing Up and Home Truly exhibitions. Museum was relatively empty which made the experience very enjoyable. Free admissions for locals. My weird sense of humor was quite amused by the standee in place of the washing machine. |

Their current special exhibition at B1 contain interactive galleries, some display even current event like how covid-19 had affected to all walks of life in Singapore. |

| Review 1 | This is a charming little place that you should definitely visit if you’re a toy buff. The exhibits are spread across multiple floors with quite a lot of rare and expensive pieces included. The focus, however, is more towards the first half of this century with a majority of them being Tin toys. The exhibits are well categorized but the museum itself is not too big, so you should be able to comfortably finish all the levels in an hour or two. |
| Review 2 | Well designed and really have a collection that spans many years. The history of toys, the poster in steel and enamel, was just amazing and mind-boggling to see. It is a treat for the eyes and the collectors who want to be reminded of the toys and collectibles that have once in their lives touched and played. A play full of colors and architecture is a visual excitement that never fails to awe me. |
| Review 3 | I loved this place, some of the toys here definitely bring back childhood memories. If you are 30 years or older, I think you would appreciate this museum. Younger generations might not be able to understand it as most of the toys here are older than them. |

| Review 1 | Wonderful place to have fun and learn about Singapore’s history. Staff and guides are friendly and engaging. They have pivoted well amidst restrictions from COVID-19 to offer online versions of their attractions. |
| Review 2 | Excellent place to visit if you want to know some basic Singapore history and war occupation documents. They did a complete renovation in 2020 during a pandemic and only open recently in Oct 2020. The exhibition now is so much better than last time, with plenty of interaction. And yet, this is only half of it, there is another half to be completed Q3 this year. They also added an escape room and other fun facilities, a good place for people to spend time with their families. |
| Review 3 | The new permanent exhibition gives people an immersive experience, where personal stories annotate the part on the Japanese occupation. The personal stories on the cable car rescue in 1983 were also a good chance to learn more. Worth a visit despite the location. |

There are worthwhile promotions on fave or by timezone itself, so worth checking out before topping up your cards. A wide variety of games, for all ages, including bumper cars, more importantly – seldom crowded to an unreasonable level. Staff is always helpful – tip: don’t wait for the bumper car timings on the sign, just ask the staff if they can open it up when you are keen (or there is already a queue lining up – so cute). Be prepared to have $100 worth of credits go in 30 minutes! |
| Review 2 | Great place to hang out with kids. The staff was helpful when machines didn’t work. |
| Review 3 | Many fun machines and easy-to-win ticket rides. Kid enjoyed thoroughly |

| Review 1 | After going there for the third time, I have completed all the games they have to offer and all of them were pretty good. First off, the location was perfect, being right next to Chinatown MRT. Most of the games have you complete individual tasks as a team and are pretty intuitive (aka you don’t need to think too much) Time travel chapters 1 and 2 require you to collect alien information capsules in different times and places. Generally, it’s about the interactions of the object available to you and using it/ throwing it to your teammates (aka matching the right object to the right place) Both chapters have a small amount of shooting (projectiles) and are Are we dead? On the other hand has a more cohesive storyline, with slightly more complex logical connections to make. (It’s still very doable doe). The graphics are very good and near the end, there’s a lot of gun action. The games hold up to 4 people max but still works with 2 or more. This was very enjoyable for me and if they release a new game I’ll be sure to try it out. The only complaint I would have is the lack of ability to move. You can move around in your box that is your room but you just teleport between cutscenes which breaks the immersion a bit (Time travel doesn’t have this problem but Areyoudead does) (p.s enjoy throwing balls at each other at the start of Time travel)(PPS don’t miss the skeleton in a box) Remember to key in your email to get the photos you took in-game to be sent to you |
| Review 2 | It was our first VR experience. We researched what to expect and were excited about the experience. The game master was professional in helping us with our gears and telling us the instructions of the game. As I could not see clearly due to my glasses, the game master had to help me to loosen and tighten the headgear. He was friendly and professional. Overall, the experience was awesome and we are looking forward to our second trip soon! – Vivian & Justin |
| Review 3 | Good fun activity. It was quite easy to go through the stages but it was still very entertaining. The venue was very very cold but once you get to move around it’s not so bad. It is tucked in a basement of a once flourished mall but it’s not a problem for us to find the place. Highly recommend. |
