Singapore Pasir Ris Park | Family Bonding Day Out

Bonding time through games

Family bonding in this generation is getting more and more important. As children are getting so busy with school work, tuition and extra school activities, there is hardly time for quality family bonding.

As parents we cherish every opportunity given. Today welovedayout was heading out for a fun and lovely picnic with our family friends. With the numerous parks and gardens located around Singapore, we decided to go Paisr Ris Park for a fun family day out. 

Families having a nice picnic and camping by the beach

The weather was perfect for our family outing, with clear blue skies and a nice balmy breeze blowing gently. Upon reaching we saw energetic children running around the park. Parents were seen setting up their picnic spread and friends pitching tents along the beach. It was a beautiful sight.

Various fun activities for family and friends

Family fun time at the beach

Pasir Ris park is a huge park available for everyone with several activities to do. There is a big playground for the young, fishing at the beach for the fishing enthusiasts, cycling, rollerblading and many more. Having a splashing fun dip at the sea was welcoming after a long sunny day.

Photographers having a fun time finding unique birds

Guard for the fantastic fun Maze Garden

After our satisfying picnic, we headed towards the mangrove area for a walk at the broad walk. Here we saw many photography hobbyists searching for unique birds or creatures to shoot. At the end of the walk, we came across a Maze Garden. The children wanted to try out the maze but was blocked by an interesting 'guard'. The guard took it's job very seriously as it took a while for the kids to be able to start the maze. Great job!

Fun pony experiences for the whole family

The park do have a horse riding area operated by Gallop Stable. Children had great fun riding and feeding the ponies. It must have been the sun and the sea, because the children were very tired and slept on the way home. It was indeed a wonderful family fun day out for us.

Not forgetting the younger children the water park do have Yippee, Professor's Playground and the Jacuzzi too.

After spreading lots of sunscreen on ourselves, we ran towards Professor's Playground. Water guns shooting, shouting and laughter could be heard from overjoyed children.

Kids having fun at Water Works 

Next we headed towards the higher level of slides which were Water Works and Ular-lah. Water Works slides consisted of both enclosed and uncovered. The children tested out the slides and all thumbs up for the enclosed slide as they felt it was faster.

Tsunami was nearby so we decided to pop over. We had so much fun at Tsunami when the big waves started. Children were having a hilarious time here. Huge floats were seen bopping up and down along with the waves (hint : good to wear life jacket for floating so that you will not feel tired trying to float with no aid)

Food & Beverage area and our yummy lunch

After Tsunami we were so hungry, we decided to stop for lunch. There was a Food & Beverage corner available. Since we had prepared lunch, we rested under the huge umbrella and started eating.

Fun day at Wild Wild Wet

By now the crowd started coming into the water park. More tourists and children were seen as this was school holiday week. Families gathered at the park for a fantastic fun day out.

Thrilling ride at Ular-lah 

After our lunch break, we went to have a try at Ular-lah. It was the first raft slide in Southeast Asia and definitely for the adrenaline seekers. We had so much fun screaming and laughing as the raft went down the slide. We felt like we were doing water rafting in a river.

Relaxing at Jacuzzi pool

Lazing around the Shiok River with families and friends

After the adrenaline rush, we went to the jacuzzi for a rest. It was a quick rest before we grabbed our floats and ran towards Shiok River (aka Lazy River). Here we just followed the flow of the river, calming oursleves down for the day.
