Snow City:
If you come from a country with no snow, then visiting Snow City is a must. Opened in 2000 and revamped in 2007, Snow City has an average of 250,000 visitors each year. Experience sub zero temperatures all year round inside the snow tube, a three-storey and 60 meter long space where you can ski and snowboard. There are skiing and snowboarding classes, which makes for a great family activity. There's also an ice sculpture gallery, igloos, and you can even have a snowball fight - it will definitely be an experience you will never forget. After a few hours of enjoying the snow, take the chill away with a cup of joe at the hot chocolate bar.

Traveling with kids in a foreign country is very fulfilling especially when you see them scream with joy and delight. However, getting around can be a hassle. Public transportation in Singapore is world-class, but you wouldn't want to carry your child on your back while waiting for a taxi or getting in line for a train. Most definitely you will be buying souvenirs from the places you will be visiting, so why not get a Singapore car rental to help you solve your problems. After a day at Universal Studios, for sure your kids will be beat. Let them sleep in the car while you drive back to your hotel, and then take your wife to a romantic dinner after. Only a car rental will give you the convenience of traveling from one place to another at your own time, pace, and convenience.
