Families who are dining out might prefer kid-friendly restaurants with playgrounds and play spaces. Not only do the children get to play safely at a distance, parents and caregivers can dine in peace or have an uninterrupted conversation with fellow adults. We love it when F&B places and cafes include a play area just for children where they can happily play and socialise while parents dine nearby.
Besides kid-friendly cafes and restaurants with playgrounds, we have also deliberately chosen to include some that are located next to public playgrounds or have open spaces where kids can scoot, cycle or even play tag!
After all, kid-friendly play spaces come in all shapes and forms, and kids, especially the young ones, can have just as much fun if they have space to roam around.
Just a quick note that while we have tried to make the information as accurate as possible, things do change even quicker in Singapore. If you do find that there have been any changes, please let us know by emailing hello@www.littledayout.com so that we can update the information to benefit all parents and readers!
