Snowstory

Cool down with frozen treats from Snowstory, located right on the Siloso Beach walk next to wings of time. Founded in early 2017, this dessert stop specialises in Korean bingsu shaved ice, embellished with a cornucopia of toppings such as strawberries and matcha. other menu highlights include waffles decked in fruit chunks and ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce, hamburger steak, cotton candy and refreshing sujeonggwa (Korean persimmon punch). And if the desserts aren’t chilly enough, children are welcome to romp around in the snow area — it’s filled with real snow! facebook.com/snowstorysingapore

Frolic In The Afternoon Butterfly Park & Insect kingdom

learning doesn’t stop just because school’s out. Spend the day amid the verdant environs of the Butterfly Park & Insect kingdom, and discover the wondrous world inhabited by butterflies, beetles, stick insects, scorpions and birds at the park’s insect museum, butterfly aviary and pupa house. Sign up for a group tour of 30 to 45 minutes, during which rangers and guides bring you face-toface with our national butterfly, the Pachliopta aristolochiae or the common rose, and make friends with and feed an amazing menagerie ranging from parrots to green iguanas. and while you’re at it, make a wish come true by releasing butterflies in the park. legend has it that if you whisper your wish to a captured butterfly and release it, the insect will convey the message to the heavens. jungle.com.sg
