You can also have fun in the other attractions. Rainbow Reef and Ray Bay are not to be missed. In Rainbow Reef, you will get the chance to snorkel with over 20,000 fish types and in Ray Bay, you can touch feed rays. There are some special attractions as well, like the Shark Encounter where you will be in a glass tank like a cube having a closeup interaction with sharks.

Wild Wild Wet

Wild Wild Wet is one of the most famous waterparks in the country, and it is located in Pasir Ris in Singapore.

So, if you are a family having small kids a suggestion is to try the following rides; KidsZone, Yippie and Splash Play. But for more adrenaline rushing rides make sure to check out Kraken Racers, Tsunami, Shiok River and Ular-Lah. Ular-Lar is the first raft slide in South Asia which allows you to have the same experience of white water rafting in a natural river.

The highlight of Haw Par Villa is the Ten Courts of Hell, which is included in the tour 'Journey to Hell'. It allows you to have a different perspective on the death and afterlife of a person. The whole concept is based on Buddhist depictions on how hell is supposed to be.
