Which city has more activities- Singapore or Hongkong for 2 year 3 month old toddler on a holiday?

Question

We'd like to take a holiday in November with our 2 month 3 year old toddler. Choice is between Singapore or Hongkong or a Star Cruise.

Answer 1

um.... actually I'd suggest Thailand.

For example, Pattaya, there are far too many attractions to list, but anything and everything is here:  aquarium, wildlife parks, elephant treks, go karting, water parks, beaches, boat rides, boat tours, video arcades, fun restaurants, reasonably priced shopping, and hundreds of other things and places to go.  All reasonably priced.   Also Mini Siam park, a few botanical gardens, and day boat trip to Koh Larn, 20 minutes by speedboat 400 baht one way, or 45 minutes by ferry boat... boats leaving from Bali Hai pier, just past Walking Street... boats leave about once an hour.   Koh Larn is beautiful, like paradise... almost.

If you are visiting Bangkok, don't miss Siam Paragon- A upmarket mega mall with a department store and many high end boutiques and shops. This is a family destination with something for everyone - Siam Ocean World at the basement should keep the kids busy while the serious shopper is at work. Exit at BTS Siam Station which leads to level 2 of this mall. Connected with other shopping mall : Discovery, Siam Centre and MBK. So if you want to have some serious shopping, this is the perfect place.

If you visit Bangkok, I'd recommend Arnoma hotel.  It is good to have a hotel near the major shopping destination as after a day of shopping under Bangkok's hot weather, your kids can get back to your hotel room fast to have a bath. Arnoma is the right one as it is just opposite Central World Plaza, Big C superstore is on the right side, Gaysorn is on the left side and 10 minutes walk away from Platinum. Just outside the hotel, the street had many peddlers selling food, fruits, souvenirs, t-shirts, shoes at a bargain. There is a Starbucks right outside the front door. it's USD 94/night (discounted from USD163) at end Nov http://www.discovery-thailand.com/Hotels...

Have a nice trip!

Answer 2

Do not go to HK with a toddler- HK is for older people who appreciate shopping and can handle cues which go on for days. Perhaps return when your kid's 5?

Go to Sentosa island! It's the bomb :D Definetly one of the best child friendly destinations in the world.  

Answer 3

Of course, there will be no problem in either Singapore or Hong Kong. There are always be places for kids. First answerers mentioned good places in Singapore.

In Hong Kong, you can visit Disneyland and the Ocean Park. Star Cruises dock in Hong Kong.

Answer 4

Though personally I prefer Hongkong to Singapore on account of the vast tourism options it offers, I would suggest that you visit Singapore since you also have a 2 yr 3 month toddler.

Singapore is an ideal city for a FAMILY holiday. Sentosa Beach, Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park, East Coast Park Beaches are all designed for a fun-filled family vacation with shows especially designed for kids. Shopping and choice of multi cuisine eating is an extra bonanza in Singapore

Hongkong is very trendy and ideal for couples. Though it offers limited attraction for Children with Ocean Park and Disney land (small compared to other disney lands).

Or you can travel from Singapore to Hong Kong vide Star Cruise and enjoy the best of both worlds.
