Attractions & Things to Do in the West

The west of Singapore is where families head for a full day out, anchored by the green expanse of Jurong Lake Gardens in Jurong and the hands-on galleries of the Science Centre Singapore nearby. It is an easy region to explore on the East-West and North-South lines, with interchanges and town centres at Jurong East, Boon Lay and Bukit Batok.

Beyond the headline draws, the west rewards a slower pace. Jurong Lake Gardens links lakeside boardwalks and play areas, Boon Lay opens onto neighbourhood parks and reservoirs, and the hilly trails around Bukit Batok suit early-morning walks and weekend cycling.

Use the directory below to plan your visit: compare opening hours and the spots that are best for young children, and pair an indoor attraction with an outdoor one so a sudden afternoon shower never spoils the day out west.
