If you’ve never tried these, it’s high time you did. Why should visitors have all the fun? 

Forest Adventure
Make like Tarzan or Jane in these 1.5 hectares of green space. The waterfront aerial course takes place five metres above the ground, where you’ll slice your way through the trees and foliage with the help of ladders, bridges, swings, a trapeze and slides. The Grand Course comprises 32 stages and takes up to two hours, while the Kids’ Course has 16 stages and takes about an hour to complete. Take heart: there are a total of five zip lines and a 176m-long flying fox to help speed things up. 
Bedok Reservoir Park, Bedok Reservoir Rd (8100 7420, www.forestadventure.com.sg). Bedok. Buses 22, 65, 67, 168. Tue-Sun 10am-6pm (last departure 4.30pm). Grand Course: $25; students $22; under 16 years old $20. Kids’ Course: $18 (one round), $25 (two rounds), $35 (for two hours). 

Haw Par Villa
FREE There’s nowhere quite as outlandish as the legendary Haw Par Villa, built in 1937 by Tiger Balm entrepreneur Aw Boon Haw as a means of preserving Chinese culture. Today, the park not only holds a memorial of the Aw family, but is also home to a surrealistic collection of more than 1,000 statues. A laughing Buddha, scantily clad Chinese maidens, and a cheeky monkey god all exist in bizarre harmony alongside a menacing, 3m-tall King Kong, sumo wrestlers and 1.5mhigh Statue of Liberty. Don’t miss out on the Ten Courts of Hell exhibition. You’ll walk in semi-darkness through the ten stages of hell – based on Taoist mythology – which depict the punishments that await sinners in the afterlife. See how the liars have their tongues snipped in half and those guilty of filial disobedience have their hearts dug out. A favourite haunt of parents with naughty children.
