Activities to do at Sembawang Hot Spring Park
There are slightly more activities you can do at Sembawang Hot Spring Park than what the name suggests. Let us talk about them.
Foot spa at Sembawang Hot Spring Park
A cascading pool serves as the focal point of Sembawang Hot Spring Park. The water of the Cascading Pool is cooled from 70 degrees Celsius through a series of pools, lowering the temperature to 40 degrees Celsius, the ideal range for skin contact. You can have a foot spa here at the hot spring water.
The Cascading Pool’s edge is a popular spot for visitors to sit and enjoy the warm, hot spring water. If you wish to avoid some lines, you must carry your own basket. For the Cascading Pool, there is now a queueing system in place. Since there are just a few spots available at the pool, expect to line up.
Cook eggs
There is a spot where you can collect the hot spring water and use it to cook egg or eggs! Now, you could do this anywhere within Sembawang Hot Spring Park, but there is a specially designated spot for people to conveniently do this. If you want to eat half boiled egg or eggs at a park, Sembawang Hot Spring Park is a good place for you to do that!
