MANILA, Philippines — Traveling with kids, particularly toddlers, can be difficult because your attention must always be on the little ones.
It is exciting because you will be having the entire family with you on this trip but it can be challenging. The best way to make sure you are on top of things is to plan and prepare for the trip way in advance.
Recently, popular content creator Kryz Uy teamed up with Klook to create an easy and seamless planning experience for the family’s first trip to Singapore together.
Only three hours away from the Philippines by plane, Singapore offers an array of attractions that cater to the needs of young travelers like her children, Scottie and Sevi.

It is home to over 4,200 animals, ranging from mammals, birds and reptiles that roam freely in open enclosures resembling their natural habitats. The zoo also presents modern day problems that animals face and how we can do our part to save them and the environment. This attraction will surely bring out the explorers in little ones where they can marvel at exotic animals, enjoy interactive shows and learn about how to create a better future for wildlife.
In Singapore, every member of the family, including the little ones, can have a memorable and enjoyable experience. Traveling with toddlers can be tricky, but planning and booking with efficient travel platforms can make it hassle-free.
