Getting out of Singapore to see and experience the world with our loved ones is perhaps one of the best things in life any family would aspire to achieve more frequently. For some families, the little ones never get to travel around the world. Well, I guess parents are not wrong to shudder merely at the thought of the plethora of challenges taking their kids with them on holiday can bring - it can be stressful, it can get ugly.
While sniffy, screaming meltdowns at the airports are a common scene, these airports that we at GET.com are featuring below might be your kids' new favourite spots in the universe. Also, in case this comes in handy, here are some ways to avoid stress when travelling with kids.
6 Most Kid-Friendly Airports In The World
1. Calgary International Airport, Calgary, Canada
Do you have kids who are intrigued by science and dig educational opportunities? Calgary International Airport's SpacePort will surely bring smiles and wide-eyed wonderment to juniors and yourself equally. Who wouldn't want to experience outer space, right?
2. San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, U.S.A
Family-friendliness is taken to a whole new level at San Francisco International Airport as this airport has gone above and beyond to set aside a security lane specially dedicated to families travelling together. To make things even sweeter, this family-friendly security lane is more spacious and it typically has shorter lines, too. Kids' Spot is an interactive exhibit for children that kids can explore besides marvelling at majestic marine life at the three aquariums situated within the airport.
3. Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, U.S.A.
Do you scratch your head every time you watch your kids play and expend their boundless energy because you simply cannot fathom where that energy came from? A great way to pry the young ones away from electronic devices like tablets and smartphones is to let them have a whale of a time at the fun-filled interactive Chicago Children's Museum at O'Hare International Airport that is located at Terminal 2.
4. Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands
If you and your children are ever travelling through Schiphol Airport, remember to stop by the Kids' Forest, a free-access indoor playground that promises 100% fun and thrill. This playground that's constructed from sustainable products was designed to mimic an outdoor adventure area complete with climbing and play spaces, slides and swings. Families with babies would really appreciate the Schiphol BabyCare Lounge that is located next to the Kids' Forest.
5. Changi Airport, Singapore
Changi Airport sure is one landmark of ours that we should be super proud of. Besides being voted as the best airport in Asia and the world, Changi Airport is a treasure chest full of activities for fun-loving kids.
Surely, your kids must have slid down The Slide at Terminal 3 and played at the Children's Playground at Terminal 1 before. No matter whether your family is in the public area or in transit, you and the little ones will be able to find something to entertain yourselves. Feeling like an explorer? Check out the most secret attractions you never knew existed at Changi Airport.
6. Incheon International Airport, Seoul, South Korea
There is an ice-skating rink nestled within Seoul's Incheon International Airport. Besides play areas and adorable themed cafes housed in the airport, remember to bring your kids to the ice rink if they are big enough to twirl around with or without your assistance. Access to the synthetic ice rink is free of charge, by the way, but you'll have to pay for skate rental.
