New Children's Garden

A few weeks ago a new Children's Garden opened, at the Gardens by the Bay. We have only been to the Gardens by the Bay once, and to be honest, it was hot and kinda sucked. But I heard this was cool. We also heard it was UBER crowded. So we got up and out by 8:30 and were literally the first people to enter the gardens when they opened at 9am. 

It is honestly the coolest playground in the world. All kids should go there. 

Here's why it's amazing:

It's free.

It has a HUGE water play area and a smaller one with more predicable water sprays for little kids. Oh - the heat came back - so the water is amazing!

It has tons of fun things to climb on - there are chains, balance beams, monkey bars, climbing walls, climbing ropes, shaky bridges...TONS of stuff to explore. It says it's for ages 6-12, but Samara had a fantastic time exploring all of the climbing areas, though there were a few times she needed help.

There is a big shaded area with comfy chairs that are great for nursing.

The whole area with all of the climbing stuff is full of sand. So when the kid needs to chill out and play alone for a bit after engaging with a million new things and people, he/she can just build a sand castle.

I didn't get any photos of Sam in the water play area because I forgot, but here are some others from before she went into the water.



this one she needed help with, but she tried...a few times
