Forest Adventure (10th Oct 2021)

Following on our series of what to do in the midst of COVID where we were exploring the to-dos in Singapore – Zoo, River Safari, iFLY, Forest Adventure and Sentosa(!) we head Eastward to an otherwise unfamiliar part of Singapore for us – Bedok Reservoir Park.

Forest Adventure has apparently been around for some time, and one of a few places with a kids’ (and adults) obstacle course, complete with a Zip Line (other than the Mega Bound, Climb and Zip in Sentosa, and I think a more recent (Hoobii Spot?) course right in the Zoo at Mandai (right next to the Ah Meng Memorial Garden if we recall correctly, having seen it on the tram ride back to the entrance from the Rainforest Kidz World).

The course is a bit of a walk from the carpark but not hard to spot!

We had pre-booked this the week before with raincover insurance (enabling rebooking of slots in the event of inclement weather!).

Given this was still COVID era, we had to don our masks and keep a (1m?) distance (social distancing!) away from each other. Soon we get kitted up and sit (rather stand) through a basic induction session which included safety do’s and don’ts and how to clip our safety carabiners strapped one end of our harnesses to the safety line on the other. After walking the plank on the safety course we were really to embark on the higher levels!

Jie Jie and I do really well on the different levels!

The brave Js conquering Level 2 and proceeding to the 3rd Level!

Note we are avid fans of Ultimate Beastmaster which we binge-watched with Daddy the couch potato during circuit breaker!

Completing the course via a zip line to the finish line!

To many hours spent hosting!

One for the record on 30th Dec 2020, the final day of operation…

We do miss thee little Nook,
Many hours with Daddy over a game of castle and rook,
While Jo and Mommy with a drink and a good book,
Now that you seem off the hook,
Oh Nook, where for thou art we still look.
