Fun at Marina Barrage: Top 15 Activities for Kids And Families In Singapore
Marina Barrage
Marina Barrage is one of Singapore’s most exciting family-friendly attractions, offering a perfect blend of fun and education for kids. Located at the southern tip of Marina Bay, this impressive dam not only helps control flooding but also provides a fantastic recreational space for families to enjoy.
Not just a pretty face, Marina Barrage screams “uniquely Singapore” by melding beauty and functionality in our ever-improving Lion City. Besides creating a new source of fresh water on a purpose-built dam spanning the Channel, Marina Barrage combines an awesome lifestyle recreation center for watersports like windsurfing and kayaking with an upper lawn that serves as a lazy Sunday kite surfing, picnic destination as well as a “green” insulator for its buildings below.
Take in downtown’s panoramic cityscape atop the 350-meter long dam by guided tour. Or check out Singapore’s history of environmentally sustainable projects at the Sustainable Singapore Gallery.
This is open 24 hours a day making it a great early-morning spot for families! Note, this is also pet-friendly.
