- Those not used to such low temperatures especially young children are recommended to wear an extra warm layer besides the jacket which is provided by them. It is a good idea to carry gloves and caps too.
- Remember to wear/carry your own full pants and socks as they are mandatory to wear and renting them out on the spot is an additional expense.
- The fun activities in snow end up wetting your pants so if you are particular about it you should carry a change for wearing once you are out.

- A rubber tube for sliding down the snow slope is provided for free to all visitors. Don't forget to grab this on your way in.
Snow City Singapore Reviews
Don't go on a public holiday, as it'd be very crowded. That means longer waiting time for everything: to get the proper jackets/boots/gloves and a deposit box. Inside the chamber, expect long queue for the ice slides. Recommend to bring own long pants and tick clothes if you want to play longer inside. The good thing is that they always wash and dry the clothes, gloves and boots from customers directly, to avoid germs contamination and bad odor.
My kids had a ball of a time here. though all the clothes provided by them were somewhat torn and there was chaos for the right size of clothes. My 4 year old daughter and 9 year old son had a blast in the snow. Be sure to visit the igloo home above the entrance of the snow area beside the snow slide.
