Have overseas visitors coming over for 3 full days amoung them 2 very old almost 90. Can walk but better not too far.

Any places of interest suitable for them preferably aircon.

Gardens By the Bay, River Safari and Sea Aquariums are must go, but there's some walking, still manageable if you find opportunities to sit down and rest with them.

3 full days might need to include Zoo but it is too big so take trams because they are old.

What's their religion? Add a place of worship for them.

Actually the old should just stay at home and wait for the end. Bring them out is such a chore,,if cannot walk got to do stuff for them. can walk but cannot walk far, scared they fall down etc. Not worth the effort and a friend in need is a pain indeed

Visit Macik
Go to the National Gallery
Go to the National Museum
Go to Asian Civilisation Museum

Then visiting all the AC places of old things...visit Mandai Zoo then Mandai Crematorium...since it is near there & much later Kranji War Memorial..sorry, old fart memorial not started yet... is not visit his mausoleum.

Why go boring places look at flowers & fishes...what the fish!?

Never heard of RIVER SAFARI?...where have you been? but don't expect too much for this fabricated jungle tour at night...this is not Jumanji or Juraasic Park...this is Mandai, Singapore...what kind of Safari can this be? you will be seeing unnatural wild animals.

Might as well turn one National Geographic channel..

If the two elders are @Froggy's in-laws, then his wife and him can push both of them around in wheelchairs.
Froggy should bring 2 thai chicks to singkieland to wheel his guests around, give them food, an ang pow and pay their air ticket,...the thai chicks sure happy,,and can outsource the looking after stuff to the thais,,,why not??,,,good value for money

Bro, this one I have had experience. I brought a 80-year old AMDK to BKK last time ... I tell you they grow tired easily after walking, and they will take a nap whenever they sit in the taxi. I so chuak the old AMDK's heart stop beating. Nabeh, stayed at my place in BKK he would wake up at 3.30 am in the wee hours and walked around in the living room. Old folks sleep very little one.

I tell you, strictly no walking for 90+ folks, especially under Singapore's hot weather. Book a high class hotel resort and put them there. Actually MBS and leave them at casino is quite a good idea. But if you are not into gambling, you can put them in Sentosa. If you cheapo like me, put them in Downtown East Pasir Ris Resort and make them wild wild wet.

Bring them to the zoo but use the tram rides and bring along umbrellas for shade. From my experience with old folks, they like to relive their young days in the zoo amongst the animals. For makan just bring them to Geylang's frog porridge or the one at corner coffeshop at Kreta Ayer. :biggrin:

Froggy, drop this -can be a bit crowded, and more than some walking's needed too. Got to Q long for buggy train thing.
My 80+ old lady couldn't take it. And halsey02 is right, it's a blxxdy fabricated night jungle tour. F&B prices a rip off (coke circa 8/9 bucks?:rolleyes:)


Better off at museum places
