Top things to do this weekend with kids in Singapore (and throughout the week!)
1. Celebrate Hari Raya Haji

Selamat Hari Raya Haji! A public holiday is coming up this weekend (it falls on Sunday, 10 July this year, with the public holiday taking place on Monday, 11 July) and with it comes an extra day of fun to have around Singapore with the kiddos. Hurrah! We’ve been taking a look at what this Islamic festival means, where we can join in the celebrations (regardless of our own religion), and what’s on for families.
2. Join in the Kiztopia TriFactor Kids Fun Run!

Come take part in the first parent-child mass run event in Singapore since 2020! Get active together as a family and enjoy a scenic run along Bay East Garden as Kiztopia Friends cheer you along the route! Followed by awesome fun time at Kiztopia Friends bouncy castles, game booths, TriFactor Kids sports activities and more to wrap up the experience.

3. Journey to the Science Centre for a beary astronomical fun time!

What stars, planets and constellations are in the skies tonight? As the Earth spins around the Sun, you’ll get to see different portions of the night sky. Go stargazing at the Science Centre Observatory on 8 and 29 July; hang around afterwards and admire the celestial objects. Science Educators will also be on hand to point out the beautiful sights and share fascinating stories about the stars. Want to experience life as an astronaut? Join the centre’s astronomy crash course on 15 and 22 July. While toddlers won’t be able to participate in the two activities, they can join the Totally Science – Big Bear Hunt on 9 and 10 July for a sensorial experience through fun and play. Pro tip: bring some extra clothes – you’re in for a beary wild ride! (While you’re here, don’t forget to check out Waterworks!)
4. Try the first-ever mental health-themed escape room
It’s not often you’d see mental health and escape room together in a sentence, but Thrive Psychology Clinic managed to pull off this feat. Taking place on 9 July is the first-ever mental health-themed escape room. Participants have to track down and defeat M by understanding them, reconstructing their life, and bringing to light what they’ve been hiding. This fun-filled experiential journey is open to everyone aged 12 and above. Bonus: you’ll learn more about mental health issues after this too. Sign up for this event here.
5. Check out the restored Bukit Timah Railway Station

If you’re planning to take on the Rail Corridor, be sure to pop by the Bukit Timah Railway Station and Railway Staff Quarters. The community node, which just reopened to the public recently, is located right by the Bukit Timah truss bridge (AKA midway through the trail). If you’re not hiking, you can access it easily from King Albert Park MRT station. Visitors can learn about the railway line’s past history in the heritage gallery and relax at a nearby cafe. New gardens have also been added to enhance the station’s character. Be sure to take loads of photos with all the conserved stuff!
6. Take your teens to catch Thor: Love and Thunder, opening in cinemas this weekend
With Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman starring in the newest Marvel movie, there is plenty of eye candy to be had in Thor’s latest adventure. There are some scary characters though, so wouldn’t recommend for younger kiddos (rating is PG13). Book your tickets from your favourite cinema outlet and catch it on opening weekend!
7. Get in early for the theatre and book your tickets for upcoming shows


We love the theatre here at Honeykids HQ, so much so that we keep track of it right here.

Later in the year, the well-loved stage show version of The Sound of Music will return to Singapore. There’s also a fun panto style show happening in the lead up to Christmas, Slava’s Snow Show, and tickets are on sale now!

Commemorating 35 years of diplomatic relations between Costa Rica and Singapore, Gardens by the Bay’s Cloud Forest is currently filled with an abundance of Costa Rican orchid species. There are some fascinating sights to be seen; among the orchids on display are the Acianthera decipiens, which has flowers that gradually change colour over time! From dark purple in the initial days of blooming, to red, and finally orangey-yellow. So pretty.
Look out for the Ornithocephalus inflexus, which produces spikes of dainty, crystalline green to white flowers that resemble birds in flight. Hurry, because the exhibition is closing this Monday!
9. LAST CHANCE: Join the My Little Pony Fun Race at Suntec City (with a bonus goodie bag!)

Also, check out We Tread in a Garden of Spells, a specially curated film programme in parallel with this installation.

Then, head outdoors to get up close with various fighter jets, missiles, and anti-aircraft systems.
24. Visit the Museum of Ice Cream
Make it a sweet treat weekend at the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore! This is a pretty exclusive import to Singapore, with the original (and only) Museum of Ice Cream being based in NYC. We’ve already explored its 14 never-before-seen installations, dedicated to the celebration and experience of enjoying ice cream. We give a big thumbs-up to the dragon playground, the pink and yellow jungle with 10,000 bananas, and the largest MOIC sprinkle pool ever created. The experience lasts up to 90 minutes, and yes, there are ice cream tasting stations dotted throughout (which we think is the best part of the tour!). Tickets sell out fast, so be sure to grab yours.
25. Check out the latest exhibit at Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

Parasites and body snatchers and zombifying infesters, oh my! The mere mention is enough to strike terror in most folks. But is their reputation entirely undeserved? In this exhibition, separated into three ecosystems (air, land, and water), visitors will learn the life history of parasites and delve into nature’s house of horrors. Prepare to be greeted with an aura of unease and curiosity this weekend!
26. Hit the beach!
Explore a new beach, from dog-friendly (and as pretty as a picture) Tanjong Beach to going back in time over on Pulau Ubin. Or get away from it all and hit the beach at St. John’s Island. Whatever you decide, remember to pack the sunscreen and bite spray!
27. Take bubs to a soft play
All kids love an indoor play area, but sometimes the littlies of the gang are overlooked. We’ve compiled a list of tot-approved play places to make sure that’s the case. After the complete list for older siblings? Check out our fave indoor playgrounds in Singapore. Then read our survival guide for parents to ensure you leave with your sanity intact!
28. Get outdoors and try one of these pram-friendly walks


Singapore is all about getting outdoors (it’s not called the Garden City for nothing!), but what about when you’ve got little members of the family in tow who need a pram? Don’t despair; we’ve been busy finding some of the best pram-friendly strolls all over Singapore. Whether you want to hit new heights over at Henderson waves or head out East to Pasir Ris – there are 15 great walks to choose from this weekend.

Imagine the scenery of Jeju Island or Okinawa, but transplanted to Singapore. That’s what you get with the park connector linking Changi Beach Park to the East Coast PCN.

37. Enjoy the outdoors and go camping (or glamping!)
Camping is back! If you want a change of scene and to embrace the great outdoors, there’s no better option than to pack up the tent (and the kids) and get out camping. From West Coast Park to East Coast Park, there are campsites galore to explore in Singapore. Just make sure you get your camping permit in advance, and you’re good to go.

We’re lucky to have a host of farms to explore here in Singapore (check out our farm guide if you don’t believe us). But how about trying out the Rooftop Farm Experience over in Siglap at The Sundowner this weekend?
