If you did not prepare your own food you can also dine in at Mcdonalds' and a food court that is located in that area. there is also an arcade centre near the parks which you and your family can spend the time in.

Singapore - Escape Theme Park /6:29 PM
The first place im going to introduce to you to is Singapore my homeland. it is a place full of green trees and plants as we experience summer all year round. travelling to singapore is easy you just need to bring a few sets of clothings (t-shirt and shorts/jeans preferred) as ts is not very cold here. the temperature range here is about 25- 34 degrees. so if you are afraid of the cold you may bring a cardigan or a windbreaker (no winter clothing).
there are many attractions here one of them is our unique theme park - "escape" in pasir ris.

Daily Ticket
Adult$17.70
NTUC Member :$14.70
Child (aged 3 - 12 years old)$8.90
NTUC Member $5.90
Family (2 adults and 2 children)$42.80
NTUC Member $39.60
Senior Citizen (aged 55 years & above)
Free admission applicable to only singaporeans and permanent residents
Note:Please get your hand stamped before leaving the park in order to re-enter on the same day. (unlimited rides) .
there are a total of 16 rides in escape (dry and wet rides) for the children and the adults. i would strongly recommend the flume ride there, which normally requires much time queueing up. plus pls bring an extra t-shirt in case you get wet during the ride. use the time wisely as the openning hours are 10.00 am - 8.00 pm during Saturday, Sunday, public holidays and gazetted school holidays. the rides are not so thrilling as compared to other theme parks in gold coast and malaysia.
Escape Theme Park is Singapore's largest outdoor theme park and it is located at NTUC Downtown East, Pasir Ris. It was opened in May 2000.
You can get there by:Bus Numbers 3, 5, 6, 12, 17, 21, 89, 354, 358
OR a 10-minute walk from Pasir Ris MRT Station
Rating of this place:
2 stars (not worth it i'll rather save the money and spend it on other bigger theme parks)
Hope you have a nice trip to Singapore! BYE!
