Fun and a lot of free activities for the family, especially on weekends (during school holidays). Usually, they will have some end of semester / school year programmes for school students, which they then translate into weekend events for families. Most of the events are free, and they give away prizes for competing / lucky draw.

Even if you don't win, usually the kids will get a take home souvenir and a few hours of fun there. Good for them to learn a bit about the history of Singapore as well.

The cinema here is cheaper than outside, though I personally haven't tried it. Food wise, try buying from the snack kiosk instead of the canteen. The canteen's food isn't that good. Other paid activities include paintball (please check with them for price).

A good 10 minutes walk from Joo Koon MRT, but there are parking spaces there (free I think).
