- Pools: Splash has six water play areas, and in-house registered children get one playtime session per night.
- Kids' club: Themed suite guests get complimentary playtime at buds and Splash; other hotel guests pay S$45 per child for 3 hours at buds.
- Rooms: Five 72 sqm themed suites (Castle, Safari, Underwater, Treetop, Space) can connect to a Deluxe Family Room.
- Food: With a dining adult, up to 2 in-house under-7s eat the all-day buffet free for Shangri-La Circle members; older under-12s pay half.
- Getting there: The nearest MRT stations are about 15 minutes on foot, so taxis are the easier choice with small children.
Best room for four
Questers Garden Wing Deluxe Family Terrace. 50 sqm with a playhouse and slide for under-1m children, sleeping 2+2 on existing bedding; the cheaper Deluxe Family Room only suits under-6s.
Good for
City-based families with children under about 10 who want pool time between Gardens, zoo and shopping days.
Think twice if
No beach; the headline Deluxe Family Room limits children to under 6, and buds is a paid extra outside themed suites.
