Before you know it, the school holidays will soon be over and you’ll be needing to find activities to fill the weekends again to keep the kids occupied. Don’t worry, for we’ve got the perfect recommendations just for you!
Instead of just all fun and play, why not consider learning something new with these 6 educational tours that’ll definitely be a hit for the whole family!
1. Learn about Singapore’s Marine Life
Slap on some sunscreen as you’re heading out to sea on a luxury yacht towards the secluded Pulau Hantu. Once there, you’ll explore the coastal trail and its rich marine biodiversity. An engaging educator will be there to guide you to investigate various peculiar trails left by marine and terrestrial animals at the coastal splash zones.
This Southern Islands Marine Yacht Tour will also sail past the Southern Islands, and you’ll also get a port and petrochemical history lesson as your guide shares more about the history of the PSA Port, Jurong Island, Pulau Bukom and Pulau Semakau.
It’s going to be a satisfying day out of sun, sea, and sand!
2. Learn how the Black Soldier Fly can solve Food Waste
Head to the wild west for a fun and interactive Insect Farm Tour. Discover how this farm uses Black Soldier Flies to upcycle food waste in an effort to create a circular food economy. You’ll also get to learn more about Singapore's food waste and food security issues, and what you can do to play your part.
Those who feel a little squeamish, beware. You’ll be given the chance to observe how these insects voraciously eat the food waste and convert it into animal feed and plant fertiliser. At the end of the two-hour tour, you can even purchase freshly-produced dried insect larvae as pet feed, or insect frass fertiliser that is ideal for leafy vegetables.
3. Learn how to Pull Off a Heist at Changi Jewel
Attention, Attention, Attention! A bunch of skilled professionals are embarking on the most audacious heist of them all - The Jewel Heist. But they’re missing one last secret weapon to pull it off - you!
In this highly-anticipated sequel to the Chinatown Murders Game Tour, be prepared to take on different missions that will put your wits to the test, if not your math skills as well. You’ll also be hearing more about Jewel itself and the tour also comes with free entry tickets to the Canopy Park.
4. Learn the History and Wonders of Aviation
Have you missed the feeling of entering an aeroplane, leaning back on the comfy seat, and fastening your seat belt? You can now relive that memory with this Fascinating World of Aviation Tour that includes an exclusive visit to an aircraft hangar at WingsOverAsia.
Besides getting up close and personal with some private planes, you’ll also be brought around Seletar Aerospace Park to learn about the history of the area, which used to be a military airbase for the British’s Royal Air Force. This is one experience that will excite all aviation enthusiasts out there!
“Awesome tour that we had. We got to better understand the design of the Seletar Aerospace area, the history of the colonial buildings, and visited the old and new Seletar Airport. The best was the visit to the private hangar!”
