Where's the best place to go in Singapore?
We're planning to have a vacation in Singapore but we just have limited budget (for a family of 4. My husband and I and our 2 kids). Where's the best place to go in terms of fun things to do, Historical landmarks, tourist spots, shopping and dining? Are there any cheap Hotels? How much would it cost us? (A rough estimate). I heard Singapore is quite expensive in terms of it's cost of living there. I'll appreciate a detailed answer. Thanks!

Each to their own I suppose. The Zoo is excellent and the Night Safari is a must. Don't miss Tiger Balm Gardens...both weird and wonderful. Sit on Orchard Road and people watch. The Botanic Gardens are nice.
It is a pricey place to sleep and eat but check out Little India for the best deals on both. The food is delicious. Read my hub on How to Travel Cheaply in South East Asia. It may help.

It is difficult to answer because it depends upon the taste of individual’s liking. But to say in nutshell the pleasure and beauty is everywhere. It is an iconic city of Asia to show the path of development. To me sit on Orchard Road and enjoy the beauty of movement of people through out day and enjoy the beauty of lightning at night.

Singapore doesn't have to be too expensive (though of course that's all a matter of perspective, dictated largely by which currency you're bringing with you). I visit Singapore several times a year and find it very economical compared to other developed countries.
If you stay in Little India - which is by far the most vibrant and culturally interesting part of the city - and eat at local places, you can spend around S$100 for a family-size hotel room and under S$5 per person for meals. Even if not for the cost savings, I highly recommend eating at hawker centres and small local restaurants since the food is far better than at the fancier places that pride themselves more on style and decor than on great-tasting food. You don't have to worry about getting sick because hygiene standards are excellent, even at the hawker stalls.
