1. Kok Fah Technology Farm

I had a wonderful visit to Kok Fah Technology Farm and was pleasantly surprised by how much there was to see and learn. It is a great place to escape the city and get a closer look at how fresh vegetables are grown in Singapore
The farm market is spacious and well-stocked with a wide selection of fresh produce, from leafy vegetables to corn and cabbages. Besides fresh vegetables, there are also shelves of sauces, canned goods, and pantry items, making it easy to pick up groceries while supporting a local farm
One of the highlights was the plant nursery, which features a large variety of potted plants, flowering shrubs, orchids, and air plants. Gardening enthusiasts will likely spend quite a bit of time browsing through the collection
The showcase greenhouse was particularly impressive. Visitors can observe modern hydroponic farming techniques, including vertical growing systems that maximize space and efficiency. It was fascinating to see how technology is being used to produce fresh vegetables locally. The greenhouse offers an educational glimpse into Singapore’s high-tech agriculture sector
Adding to the experience are the farm animals and birds. I was surprised to spot turkeys as well as beautiful macaws around the farm, which made the visit even more enjoyable and family-friendly
The vegetables are very fresh and there is a wide variety. It's close to nature, and there are also some small animals, making it suitable for children.
Big vegetables farm in Singapore. A great experience specially for kids. Didn’t manage to join the tour as booking need to be at least 3-4 weeks before.
Went to the weekend market instead and it’s so fresh and cheap. Seriously recommend to buy from here if freshness is your priority. Price is also slightly cheaper than neighborhood wet market.

Activities are available at 18 Sungei Tengah Road, with reservations required on weekdays.

The guide was superb & did so well with children of all ages. The tour was very interactive too; we brought back our own planted coriander & an aquaponics set up - fish died the very day though. :'(
However, why I'm giving a 3 star review is because it's not totally as advertised on the site. For instance, there is no longer any Egg Harvesting & this was not made known until I asked. Additionally, there is no tasting but we did get to smell the plants. Lastly, they no longer have the insects advertised on their page & we only got to interact with mealworms & earthworms.
Quite enjoyable for the kids to learn about urban farming, composting, aqua farming, catching fish, experience eating edible plants, holding millipedes, feeding fowl. Pity we did not get to see the stag beetles. As for the adults, it is also interesting to learn and refresh what we learnt in science class in school last time... Tour guide was extremely approachable and patient with the kids. Would recommend to families with young (probably at least three or four yrs old) and primary sch going kids. Note; Sprout hub canteen under renovation currently.
Well spent 1.5hrs for this guided tour. Get to touch, feed and eat. Definitely engaging and multi-sensory for the kids. The tour guide also speaks to the kids at eye level. 🙂
It was such an enriching experience, went to Little Farm Explorer and learned about urban farms. The kids get to bring home beans to plant in the way of aquaponics (f emale fighting fish included)! Lovely visit will come again!

We arrived at Hay Dairies quite late on May 27, almost near closing time, so we only managed to take a leisurely walk around the farm. Even so, the visit was still a pleasant surprise. We never expected Singapore to have its very own goat farm, and it was interesting to see such a unique countryside experience tucked away from the busy city. The environment was peaceful, rustic, and free for visitors to move around at their own pace. Watching the goats and soaking in the farm atmosphere made for a refreshing and relaxing outing. Although we missed the milking session this time, it definitely gave us a reason to return earlier on our next visit. A unique and educational experience for both adults and children, highly recommended especially if you want to see a different side of Singapore beyond the usual attractions.
Admission to the farm is free, which is great. If you’d like to feed the goats, you can purchase a packet of hay for $5. Their goat’s milk is fresh and good, and definitely worth trying.
The current location is much more remote compared to the previous one, making it less convenient to access without a car. We took bus 925 to the nearest stop (Kranji Park Carpark B) and had to walk about 15 minutes along a mix of road, grass, and paths to reach the farm.
We arrived around 1:45pm when the crowd was smaller. However, due to the hot weather, the goats were less active. We took a break at the seating area to rest and have some drinks before heading back to the feeding area. By then, it had become much more crowded, with many children running around.
Interestingly, once it started raining, the goats became more active and eagerly ate the hay we fed them — they always seem hungry! The older goats are housed in a separate building next to the younger ones. Overall, it was a unique experience, though getting there can be a bit inconvenient without a car.
Visited Hay Dairies recently and it turned out to be a really pleasant and relaxing spot in Singapore.
The farm isn’t very large, but that makes it easy to explore at a comfortable pace. You can see the goats up close, learn about the milking process, and if you go early, even catch the milking session. They also sell fresh goat milk, which has a surprisingly mild and smooth taste.
It’s also very kid-friendly. There’s enough space for children to move around safely, and they’ll enjoy feeding the goats and experiencing a working farm environment. It’s a nice mix of fun and light learning for young kids.
Best to visit in the morning before it gets too warm. Overall, it’s a simple but enjoyable outing, especially suitable for families with children.
Weekend Fun at Hay Dairies: A Family Review If you're looking for a refreshing break from the city's shopping malls and indoor playgrounds, Hay Dairies Goat Farm offers a fantastic, rustic experience that kids will absolutely love. It’s one of the few remaining operational farms in Singapore, making it a unique educational and sensory outing for a Saturday or Sunday morning. The Highlights The Milking Session: Timing is everything! If you arrive between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM, you can watch the goats being milked. It’s a fascinating process for children to see where their food actually comes from. Feeding the Goats: This is undoubtedly the star attraction. You can purchase bags of alfalfa hay for about $5 and head to the pens. The goats are generally gentle and very enthusiastic, providing plenty of photo opportunities and giggles. Fresh Goat Milk: After walking around, head to the kiosk to try their fresh milk. It comes in original and chocolate flavors; the chocolate is a huge hit with little ones who might be skeptical of the "farm" taste. Book in pelago and you'll get free Hay, milk and a souvenir.
We visited the goat farm on Christmas Day at around 9.00 am. Admission is free with a self-guided walk option, though a guided tour is also available for a small fee. We were fortunate to arrive during the morning milking session, which was very interesting to watch.
Visitors can also purchase alfalfa hay at $5 per packet to feed the goats at the back of the farm. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a farm in Singapore, and the experience was enjoyable not only for the children but for us parents as well.
The farm is very clean, the animals are well maintained, and there was minimal livestock odour, which was unexpected and appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely rustic Singapore style countryside atmosphere. Delicious local food. Quick service by friendly staff. Had the weekend Nasi Campur special, nasi lemak with blue pea rice and chicken curry with prata. And lots of drinks as it was a hot day and need to rehydrate after the morning walk through Sungei Buloh Wetlands. Dessert was banana bread with vanilla ice cream. They will stop operating at this location in December 2026 as Government is taking back the land for redevelopment, so make haste & visit before they are gone from this location.
Had a great experience at Bollywood Farms! The place has a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a short getaway from the city. The food was delicious, especially the curry chicken – definitely a must-try. The staff were also very friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good food and a nice countryside experience in Singapore.
A nice kampong style & natural ambience to visit on a sunday morning. The nasi lemak is served hot & delicious. The banana bread tasted the best among others. The lemon grass drink is cooling & nice also. I bought the nasi lemak sambal after eating it with the rice as it so nice to go with coconut rice.Will visit again to try their other dish.
Definitely a place to go if your kids love outdoors. Lots of plants/flower that we dont see outside can be seen there! Entire land is so big that u can spent hours to be there! Lots of instagram worth places for photos too!
The main review was their nasi lemak. FUIIIYO~ Its sooo good! The rice especially 我的天啊!while typing this, im craving for it. The OTAH TOO... Even my dad gives a thumbs up!

John helped to relocate a small colony from our garden in a very professional way. He worked in darkness and explained his action step by step while working to extract the colony from our lime tree. After he has done so, he answered many of our questions regarding the bees, their hives and their behavior etc. We benefited from his vast knowledge on bees. Thank you John!
Our company recently visited the Bee Amazed Garden for our staff annual outing and had an amazing morning learning many new things about bees and even getting to meet John’s collection of bees!
John’s passion is evident in his work! A great, big thank you to John and your wonderful team. Our staff had an extremely enjoyable time and left with much new knowledge!
Got to be beekeepers for a day! We learnt so so many interesting and eye-opening facts about bees 🐝 that we never knew. Great respect for uncle John, the owner of Bee Amazed, for his burning passion 🔥 and the fantastic work he’s doing. And Sharon is great at assisting and complements uncle John beautifully. Loved how he named his bee hives after females cause the bees inside are all females. And how he whipped out his guitar and started singing their theme song at the end of our learning journey. We also tasted different types of honey and even bought one big jar home! All schools should make visiting this place a school excursion ! 😎
John is amazing! We took a Bee One Happy Family class which included honey tasting, bee holding, and of course, education. My 4&6 year old loved the experience and even sat still for most of it (a challenging task at times)but John kept them engaged, laughing bad singing. Save the bees 🌼🐝🍯

My kids had inherited my love for snails and were excited to join the tour when we found out about it. Location was somewhere amongst the industrial building and though the set-up was simple, the experience was nothing short of fun. Kids were exposed to how the snails were farmed and saw many snails of different sizes. We even saw a pair that happened to be mating! Our guide, Steph, who was also the co founder of Whole Snails was very knowledgeable and I can truly feel her passion for her snails. We were then brought to a room where we learnt interesting facts about snails, observed snail caviar, had snails placed on our hands and painted some snail shells at the end. There were also some merchandise for purchase at the end of the tour. 1 hour might feel short for some but for us, it was time well spent. I even recommended the tour to my son’s preschool! This snail farm experience was certainly one of a kind. After all, they are the first and only one snail farm in Singapore!
Chanced upon Wholesnail on social media and brought the kids on a farm tour back in April. Was very educational for the kids. Steph was really good on explaining the whole life cycle of snails plus small fun facts.. kids for so interested that we adopted a pair of pet snails collected today! Thanks Wholesnail!
We signed up for an hour tour here. Aside from the excitement in touching snails and stuff, our tour guide Stephanie was really knowledgeable and insightful. She’s also very good with kids and we loved her energy! We learned a lot from the snail farm and I would highly recommend this place for something to do in SG over the weekend!
A fun and educational programme perfect for young snail lovers and curious little explorers!
Children will learn all about the fascinating life cycle of snails — from tiny eggs to fully grown crawlers. Through interactive activities, they’ll discover how snails live, move, and grow in their natural environment.
✨ Hands-on Experience! Little ones will even get the chance to gently touch and hold a real snail, placing it on their hands for a safe and exciting up-close encounter!
A perfect blend of learning and fun that sparks curiosity and love for nature. 🌱
Although it's a short 1-hour tour, we learned a lot about snails from Steph during the tour. The most interesting part I hv to say it's the mating process. It's hilarious. And I didn't know snails are the animals with most teeth in the whole animal kingdom! My son and I enjoyed the tour thoroughly. I never thought that I would dare to hold a snail as I never like slimy animal though I'm an animal lover. But now, we are proud owners of the 2 snails we hv adopted from WholeSnail.

Qian Hu Fish Farm is an interesting and unique attraction that offers visitors a glimpse into Singapore’s ornamental fish industry. Unlike a traditional aquarium, this is a working fish farm and retail facility, so the experience feels more authentic and educational than purely recreational
One of the highlights is the sheer variety of fish on display. During my visit, I saw everything from colourful goldfish and Flowerhorn cichlids to bright red parrot cichlids, luminous tetras, and even exotic freshwater stingrays. There are rows upon rows of illuminated tanks, making it easy to spend an hour or two exploring the different species
The farm is well-organised, with clearly marked areas for fish retail, accessories, specialty fish collections, and a café where visitors can take a break. I was also pleased to see signs indicating that some fish were undergoing medical treatment and were not for sale, suggesting that fish health and welfare are taken seriously
As a tourist attraction, however, it is important to set the right expectations. Qian Hu is fundamentally a working fish farm, so the environment is industrial and functional rather than polished or visually spectacular. Some areas can feel warm and warehouse-like, and visitors without much interest in fishkeeping may find that they have seen most of the highlights after a relatively short visit
Ok la, if you really want fish i recommend you buy. But the staffs are nice la. They gave fishes to the kids after struggling w fish so they can bring home 😊. All staffs are nice 🤗
While the fishes are affordable, quality is questionable.
We purchased 25 carindal tetra, 10 rummy-nose tetra and 12 ember tetra on 4 April.
1 rummy-nose tetra and 10 cardinal tetra died shortly within just 48 hours (they turned whitish due to some bacteria or fungus, and got sucked near our tank pump upon dying), despite us adding anti fungal medicine solution to our tank to prevent the fish from dying. We also isolated the affected fish but more continued to die unfortunately.
Within 1 week, only about 10 remained. We been keeping fish for decades and have treated the fish exactly as we did for other stores.
Unfortunately Qian Hu Fish did not survive. This is the second time this occured for the carindal tetra. Previously 2 years ago most also died within a week and all died within a few months. Carindal tetra usually live at least a year and some to a few years.
We assumed the past experience was one-off due to a poor quality batch of cardinal that were infected but unfortunately it seems to be a persisting issue this round. We emailed customer service but only received a short reply on advice to transfer the fish to the tank which we did correctly as per our past experience.
It is an unpleasant experience that the cardinal tetra from Qian Hu died so fast.
All in all, paying more at other stores for cardinal that can last longer is better than getting cardinal from Qian Hu at a cheaper price but don't last and most die quickly.
Very disappointing. Paid $7 for longkang fishing and caught only 1 fish in 30 mins, in the algae-filled pond with hardly any fishes. 3 fishes were given to us by a stranger. Total 4 fishes. We asked the uncle packing the fishes if he could just kindly give us a few more fishes, to make the kid happy. He replied, "you cannot keep more than 4 fishes in this tank. They will die. You also cannot mix these fishes into other tanks as they may have parasites". A boy beside us who also caught just a few tiny fishes was crying hysterically. It's not our first time here. The previous uncle would always add a few extra fishes to the tank and it would make the kid extremely happy. Seriously, Qianhu? I'm never coming again.

Why Parents Choose Live Turtle Museum Singapore
Guided visits explore turtle species, behaviour, history and cultural significance.
Tours welcome all ages, with ages three and above recommended.
Visitors can observe freely roaming terrapins and box turtles.
Selected animals may be petted and hand-fed during visits.
Feeding sessions involve tortoise vegetables and terrapin pond feed.
The museum was founded as an educational collection in 2001.
Its work includes rescuing and rehabilitating rarer turtle species.
Limited free on-site parking is available for visitors.
If you want something a bit different for your feed, this place is quite unique. It’s a bit of a niche attraction, but people love seeing the rare tortoises up close. It’s a very chill, low-key spot that’s quite affordable compared to the big theme parks.
Unique place if you are interested in tortoises, although there is a limited range of things to do as the space is quite small. There is still a good variety of tortoises, and one highlight is that you can feed them. They are not shy at all and are quite greedy, so they will readily eat from your hand, which makes for a fun and interactive experience.
That said, the place feels more like a backyard farm rather than a proper attraction or museum. For example, their tanks and ponds are kept without filtration, and the water in certain areas appears rather dirty. I understand this could be due to cost constraints or temporary limitations, as they may not want to set up permanent infrastructure or electrical points if they know they will be relocating.
Hopefully, when they move to a new location, there will be improvements in terms of filtration systems, overall cleanliness, and facility standards to better support the animals and enhance the visitor experience.
We went to the Turtle Live Museum on the last weekend before it closed to the public by 28th Feb 2025. The place is really a haven for the many different turtles and it even has a Guinness World Record for the most number of turtles in a place of over 1000 live species and more than 3000 turtles.
Place is simple but turtles are cared for. There are feeds of vegetables to pallets that you can buy to feed the free roaming turtles. Some of them are kept in tanks as they can be territorial and have more space to themselves. Some of the bigger species are kept in enclosures. They have huge snapping turtles and soft shell turtles, as well as one giant tortoise free roaming which seem to prefer vegetable stems to other foods.
Overall a pleasant experience and nice place to let the family get to know more about these turtles.
Finally step our foot there, so unreal to be able to be so close to the big and small tortoise, feeding is easy for visitors too, just buy their tortoise food (pellet or vegetable) at $2 each and feed to the turtles. For parents who are bringing children there, remember to spray mosquito repellent. Worth visiting and will definitely come again. My little one asks to visit every weekend after today’s first time visit.
There’s a Sunday cafe called “Touch Wood”worth visiting too, it’s just down the road. Moving in 2 weeks time, what a pity!
Great place for a quick retreat with your young one, where turtles (not all, but some) are allowed to roam somewhat freely. The place is not huge, but tidy enough. Is it worth it? Subjective. If you treat this as one of the conservation activity you would like the next generation to be able to enjoy, it is worth while. There’s no need to buy ticket online, you can just get them on the spot.

The Local Farm is easy to locate. Many cars parked outside. So you won’t miss it. The market itself is rather small. Not many choices. To our surprise, there isn’t one farmer selling vegetables. It was noisy, turning down the music could offer a more tranquil experience.
If you are around Kranji, you can drop by to support local produce, but certainly doesn’t worth the effort to plan a trip there.
Sale of various farm produce; from potted plants to plantable vegetables to ice-cream; foods ; skincare; essential oils. Bistro has a view with farm stay villas for a different getaway. Interesting venue for the non usual city lifestyle.

How to Choose the Best Farms to Visit for Your Child
Age suitability: Confirm the minimum age and whether younger children need an accompanying adult throughout the experience.
Learning focus: Choose between animals, food growing, sustainability or practical gardening according to your child’s interests.
Guide experience: Ask who conducts the session and whether explanations suit your child’s age and confidence.
Group size: Smaller groups can provide more opportunities for questions, observation and supervised interaction with animals or equipment.
Safety guidance: Check how staff manage animal contact, protective equipment, hygiene, allergens and unfamiliar farm environments.
Adult supervision: Understand whether guardians must participate, remain nearby or purchase separate admission for the same session.
Activity balance: Look for a sensible combination of guided explanation, observation, movement and age-appropriate practical work.
Weather planning: Ask whether spaces are sheltered, temperature-controlled or supported by alternatives during prolonged rain or strong heat.
Visit duration: Match the session length with your child’s attention span, energy level and tolerance for outdoor conditions.
Facility access: Consider toilets, parking, public transport, lift access and walking distances before travelling with younger children.
Booking requirements: Check whether walk-ins are accepted or reservations, deposits and minimum group numbers apply.
Animal welfare: Ask how feeding and handling are supervised so children learn respectful and responsible interaction.
Practical outcomes: Consider whether take-home crafts, plants or activity books would reinforce learning after the visit.
Price clarity: Review admission, adult tickets, activity materials, animal feed, deposits and possible surcharges before confirming.
Child temperament: Select a calmer sensory session or a more active tour according to confidence, curiosity and comfort.
Current schedule: Confirm operating hours, public-holiday arrangements and programme availability directly before setting out.
Looking for a Home Tutor Instead?

It has truly been a blessing to find Mr. Tan Tiam Teng as my son’s Chinese tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated—qualities that have made a huge difference in my son’s learning journey. My Primary 4 son has shown remarkable improvement in his Chinese since starting lessons, and we are so grateful for the progress.
Beyond the academic results, Mr. Tan’s teaching style has built my son’s confidence and interest in the subject. He is punctual, pleasant disposition and understands what a child needs. The entire experience with Mind Flex has also been very pleasant, professional, and supportive.
