Peace Forest was inspired by the artist’s nature walks near his home where he spotted birds, insects and even a colugo.

Even young kids can enjoy the nature at Hindhede Nature Park and its playground. Get more details about the various levels of adventures that can be found at Bukit Timah Hill.
Family-friendly Cafes & Restaurants
Families who are dining out might prefer kid-friendly restaurants with playgrounds and play spaces. Not only do the children get to play safely at a distance, parents and caregivers can dine in peace or have an uninterrupted conversation with fellow adults. We love it when F&B places and cafes include a play area just for children where they can happily play and socialise while parents dine nearby. Why not check out one of these kid-friendly dining spots this weekend.
