Recently had a family outing at Marina Barrage. This is a dam built across the Marina CHannel forming Singapore's first reservoir in the city. There are nine steel crest gates which separate seawater from freshwater. It also serves as a tidal barrier to keep out high tides. Kids can have a good time splashing themselves wet at the water playground.
There is an interesting gadget at the Sustainable Singapore Gallery which wowed me. There is a screen which shows a book where you flip the pages via a touch screen - the image really shows the page being flipped quite realistically.
It was a scorching hot day while we were there and kids and mummy had indeed gained some understanding about the purpose of the barrage.
