The Play Court and the open spaces in the mall are popular with families and children. The Promenade and the entrance area with the water features a popular place for children to play in. The wading pool on the third floor is where many children play at besides the Play Court downstairs. The wading pool is filtered and chlorinated on a regular basis. The Sky Park has an Amphitheatre. It is also a nice place to view Sentosa island. Some hold picnics in the mall's outdoor space as well.

Tips:

• If you have kids and you want to bring them to a mall in Singapore, Vivo City is the place to go. On the top level, there is a shallow outdoor pool that is good for children to engage in some water place. When they are bored, bring them one level down where they can play with more water and some interesting swings and slides. Bring some changes for your kids.
• When the weather turn bad, kids can explore Toys R Us. For kids who like the various modes of transport, they can take either the monorail or cable car to Sentosa.
• You can have halal food at basement foodcourt. Try the Malaysian cuisine nasi lemak or Indian spice curry.
• There were crowds of people lined up for the Sentosa monorail making there way over to Sentosa especially at weekend and holiday. Come earlier to  hinder the long queuing.
• VivoCity is also home to the Singapore Ferry and Cruise terminal. If you arrive in Singapore via a cruise this would be an excellent place to start your Singapore holiday
