Bukit Tinggi is a four and half hours drive from Singapore, estimate for five to 6 hours just in case there is a jam across Causeway / Tuas as well as Kuala Lumpur. You need to stop for some breaks in between anyway. Upon reaching, you will be given entrance ticket of RM 12 which could be refunded after checking out. For those who intend to visit for a day, this ticket is the pass to all parks.
Basically, there is nothing much to visit unless you are in for adventure as there are flying fox, paintball, obstacle course, and rock climbing located near Colmar Tropicale. The French-themed resort http://www.colmartropicale.com.my is kind of old, and rundown, I suggest you a night's stay is enough to tour around.
Fortunately, they have spacious room, and a bathtub (it is so old, I don't dare to soak in it).
I like the cooling weather especially when wind is blowing, you could be freezing. Genting Highlands is much more colder which is just next to Bukit Tinggi.

| At least, there is a corner for toddlers. |
The most important, swimming pool! The water was so cold, we lasted for only ten minutes.
To get to Japanese Village, there is a shuttle service which departs at every hour just next to the bridge at main entrance. As it was school holidays, the crowds were unbelievable. We ended up driving ourselves there instead.
Ryo Zan Tei is rather expensive (same price like Singapore) for normal Japanese cuisines, and there are other Western restaurants at main resort.
There is a botanic garden next to Ryo Zan Tei, and it seems that no one actually maintains the conditions of garden. Flowers were not properly taken care of, some were withering away.
As for Japanese Village itself, there are just two Japanese style huts. You could rent traditional Japanese costume (kimono), and attend tea ceremony.

| From Japanese village, you can walk one round to main entrance. |
We visited mini animal park before leaving the next day. Baby was having fun playing with slides, and swings. He was forcing those rabbits to eat, such a lovely boy. You may try out on donkey ride, if interested.
