There's a better way to get wet at one of Singapore's largest waterparks! Experience the first raft slide in Southeast Asia, Ular-Lah is a super flume ride that offers you a chance to brave the rapids, or plunge down a four-storey ramp, accelerating until you hit the deck and skimming across to soar on the opposite side. Wild Wild Wet is open from 10am to 6pm on Singapore Public Holidays, and School Holidays.

Wave House Sentosa is an ultimate beach destination of good food and drinks – within reach of the hustle and bustle of Singapore, but a world away. The Double FlowRider® is the more gentler of the two waves available at Wave House Sentosa, and is the first step to your exhilarating flowboarding experience. Endlessly fun to ride, this wave creates a safe, non-curling, endless sheet of water flowing at 20mph (32 km/h) over a composite vinyl surface, much like a trampoline. Riders can carve up and down the surface and perform many tricks similar to other board sports. The FlowBarrel®, the more dynamic of the two sheet waves at Wave House Sentosa, pumps 100,000 gallons of water per minute flowing as fast as 48 km/h to create the perfect endless barreling wave. An international sensation, for those seeking the adrenaline rush of a lifetime. Savor modern Californian–Asian cuisine at the Restaurant + Bar or cool off from the tropical heat at the outdoor Beach Bars.

There are no shortage of water play areas and swimming pools in Singapore, but few come at such a bargain. For less than $2 (and less than $1 for children), visitors can choose to dive into the wave pool, cruise down the lazy river, conquer the water slides, relax in the whirlpool or watch the little ones splash down at the Kiddy Fun Station. Bring your own picnic to make a day of it. (NOTE: Jurong East Swimming Complex will be closed March 12, 2012, to July 12, 2012, for renovations.)
