Children’s Day is recognised worldwide as a day to honour and celebrate the joys of childhood. Take your pick from these seven fun things to do in Singapore, during this long weekend!

1. Meet and greet wildlife

If your little ones are animal lovers, no better place to introduce them to the animal kingdom than in their natural habitats. And we’re not just talking about the Singapore Zoo! Choose from Jurong Bird Park, Butterfly Park, S.E.A. Aquarium, Night Safari and more to admire the wonderful diversity of wildlife in Singapore.

2. Camp under the stars

Pack your bags for an overnight adventure in the great outdoors. Take a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city – including using smart devices – as you and your kids pitch a tent at East Coast Park, bond over a BBQ meal, play card games and sleep under the stars. Do remember to also apply for a camping permit from any AXS stations or apply online in advance!

3. Soak in the fun at a waterpark

Beat our tropical heat with a trip to a water park. From large parks such as Adventure Cove and Wild Wild Wet to public pools at Jurong East and Sengkang to shopping malls’ outdoor spaces at Changi City Point and Kallang Wave, there’s one to guarantee a splashing fun time for the whole family. Check out some locations here.

Here’s the ultimate play experience for your child. At Kidzania Singapore, children discover about various jobs (i.e. Pilot, Chef, Dentist, Journalist etc.) through role-play, earn KidZos (KidZanian currency) for every task completed and learn a lesson or two about responsibility.

5. Explore and learn through art

Has your child ever wondered where his food came from? Let your child discover the rustic side of Singapore with a fun farm visit. This is their chance to see veggies growing, feed the animals and spend a day in the countryside. Explore these 10 farms in Singapore.

Unleash your child’s creativity at Playeum, a children’s centre that believes in learning through play. With regularly changing exhibits, the little ones are encouraged to explore, create, and express themselves through open-ended, free play.

Drink Up! 

While enjoying these fun experiences, we know it is important to keep our children adequately hydrated. How about bringing along cold water or vitamin drinks in a Disney Sports Bottle that will keep the beverage chilled for hours? Check out the full range of Sports Bottles here.
