Welcome to SG Kids Friendly Travel

Welcome to SG Kids Friendly Travel blog.

As we know, Singaporeans love to travel very much. And for family with kids, it takes much more effort when planning for holidays because of the need to look out for kids-friendly places for their children during travelling.

I love to read about holiday destinations, from where to stay, places to visit, things to do, where to eat, and where to play (especially for kids). Whenever I do research from the internet, I find that information are all around the place. So I feel the need to list down the places in a more organized manner so that I can refer back when there is any holiday plans. So that's the main reason why this blog started.

I call this a non-official travel guide because it is purely for my own interest. And it will only be updated when a new destination interest me. But of course, if you happen to stumble upon this blog, I hope the information are useful to you too.

This blog is a Singapore-based one, therefore, the places listed are mostly popular holiday destinations for Singaporeans. I will probably start with some weekend getaways to nearby countries, like Malaysia and Indonesia first.

Most importantly, everything in this blog mentioned are meant for the KIDS. For a start, I will focus on kids-friendly hotels first, like which hotels have kids pool, kids club, or kids playground. Food and fun will come later.

Because this is purely a research-based blog, it does not come with any photos from my own travelling. Unless there is any sponsor for it, then I will be glad to share the real experience. :)

Here we go!!
