Jacob Ballas Children's Gardens

Sam and I are in love with the Jacob Ballas Children's Gardens. When we pulled up in the taxi this morning, Sam said, "that's mine place!"

It is part of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and it is pretty much heaven for a two year old. Just this morning, we with with Savta and Papa who are visiting. We arrived and went straight to the sand area with the huge tree house with two tall tube slides. Sam probably played in the sand and on the slides for about an hour and a half. It's shaded. There are other kids there. It's clean (like no trash but way dirty like lots of sand and dirt). And the kids can basically do whatever they want.

After the sand/slide area, Sam showed Savta and Papa the shaky bridge, then the other sand area with the playground for older kids. There's also a little area where you can make music. There were lots of labeled plants and trees so you can see your food and spices growing. After the second playground area we went to the water play area, had a snack and left. We didn't even see the floating dock with loads of fish, turtles and everything else, the little shelters along the way, the big hills, logs to climb on, the maze of plants, the giant mushrooms, the waterfall and everything else.





Sam and I meet friends there about once a week. Come join us on a Wednesday or Friday morning!
