Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

Newly reopened and has many water features for the children 0-12. Water is shallow enough for even crawlers to enjoy. What I like about this place is that there's a gantry and screening -- you can only enter if you have a child below the age of 12 with you. Nparks staff are alert and will deny entry if you don't. Minusing a star for 1- the lack of seating areas (for accompanying adults or to park strollers/items). 2- Changing area is also pretty open and I would prefer a more enclosed one. 3- When it rains, your best bet is to exit via the entrance for shelter or wait it out at small batch, the cafe nearby. There are no shelters within the play area. But all in all, my toddler really enjoyed the space. We'll be back hopefully on a quieter weekday.

An amazing place to visit with kids! Make sure you have enough time to check out more of the botanical gardens! The National Orchid Gardens are incredible! But also th walk in between was really cool!

🧚🤽Located next to the Eco Lake, Jacob Ballas Children's Garden in Botanic Gardens is a playground specially designed for children. 🛝🪣There are many interesting and fun places within the Children's Garden itself, like the Tree House and Slides, Sandplay area, Flying Fox (Zipline), and etc. 🚿🩳But, the main attraction is undoubtably the Water Playground. Little ones will definitely have a great time here. Great family time together. 🍔🧋🚻Within the Children's Garden is an eatery and a toilet. ✅Entry is free. Adult have to be with children to enter. 🅿️Parking lots are available at the Children's Garden entrance area. 🚝A few minutes walk from Botanic Gardens MRT Station by Circle Line or Downtown Line. ⛔Close on Monday. But will be open, if it's a PH.

In Singapore, where there are few opportunities to interact with nature, this park, where children can play safely and securely, is extremely valuable. I think the fact that you can only enter the park if you have children with you is a great fit with the concept, as it helps prevent various problems.

Free and good, no complaints!! children below age of 10 will normally love it!! Water splashing fun!!

Its a wonderful place to engage kids and take them out of digital gadgets. It have a water play area and a treehouse slide and lots of plants and activities to keep the kids engaged for a good few hours.

My little one really enjoyed our time here! The play area was great for kids. However, I did notice that there wasn't much shade available, which could be an issue on hot days. The changing facilities were a bit limited, with only a few rooms (I can't recall the exact number), and they unfortunately lacked hooks or stools for bags. On a positive note, having a cafe right next door was very convenient for grabbing a bite or relaxing."

We visited the Jacob Ballas Water Park at 3 pm and enjoyed a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer children. Our little one had a blast exploring the area freely. The park started to get busier around 5 pm, likely due to the sunset. We'd recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the crowds that likely flock on weekends.
