I like Jurong bird park. It’s a nice place to visit but you should get there early in the morning cos the weather can be so very hot and you might have to wait for a long time to get in because there are so many tourists!

Personally, I love to watch birds. Such fascinating creatures, particularly when you get to know some of their habits. Even when I lived in the city I found there were always interesting bird species to spot in local parks. Highly recommended to anyone who might have an interest in wildlife…

If you want to get high, there is also Carlsberg Sky Tower in Singapore. It’s around thirty six floors high and 131 meters above the sea level.
