Hi! I'm a local dad and I compiled this guide to help active parents who are looking for free kid friendly places, free open spaces, playgrounds or to enjoy a drink or meal together with their young ones without going crazy over Google maps.
Cheers Convenience Store

Food
Cheers Convenience Store (Gardens by the Bay MRT) FairPrice-owned 24/7 mini-mart with bargain snacks and chilled grab-and-go meals right at the station concourse
| Why swing by | Like a mini 7-Eleven but with FairPrice’s better food range: chilled bentos, sushi rolls, fresh cut fruit, plus constant dollar-deals on chips and chocolates. Handy pit-stop before or after the gardens—prices beat the kiosk up at Marina Barrage. |
| Opening hours | Daily 7 am – 11 pm (may follow MRT operating hours on festive nights). |
| What’s inside | Chilled sandwiches & salads • Ready-heat rice bowls • $1 snack promos (watch the yellow tags) • Ice cream & frozen yogurt • Coffee machine & hot buns • EZ-Link top-up, prepaid SIMs, ponchos, sunscreen. |
| Personal take | This is my go-to over the Barrage shop: same snack for less, and the chilled meal section is surprisingly solid for a convenience store. Always scan the promo rack—grabbing a family-size chips bag for a buck feels like a win. |
| Parent tips | Grab cold drinks and mosquito wipes before the outdoor walk • Carry small notes for quick checkout if the contactless queue is long • Weekend mornings are calm; post-sunset crowds spike after the light show. |
| Address | Concourse Level, Gardens by the Bay MRT (TE22), Marina Gardens Dr, Singapore 018953 |
