NEW: Visit the Malay Heritage Centre
This is not just another museum, it is the former home of the Sultanate of Singapore. Every wall, every corridor holds a memory and even its most recent restoration work to address long-term moisture buildup, is a memento from its coastal origins. (If you’re wondering what happened to the sea, it’s time to pay this icon in Kampong Glam a visit!) The Malay Heritage Centre houses six permanent exhibits showcasing the colourful history and culture of the Malay community in Singapore. We’re looking forwards to the refreshed exhibits and interactive activities that will teach the whole family about the Malay community’s origins and its vital role in building the Singapore we know today.
Where: Malay Heritage Centre, 85 Sultan Gate, Singapore 198501
Pricing: Free for Singaporeans and PR; from $8 for international visitors.
Opening Hours: Daily 10am – 6pm
Malay Heritage Centre, 85 Sultan Gate, Singapore 198501
Check out the brand new Lobster Beach sculptures on Sentosa!
Keep your eyes peeled next time you’re strolling along Sentosa’s shores at Tanjong Beach. There’s a giant lobster waiting to be spotted! This vibrant public art activation by British pop artist Philip Colbert is bursting with colour, humour and a touch of whimsy. The star of the show? An eye-catching 8-metre ice-cream sculpture that taps into all those sunny, carefree beach-day vibes. Surrounding it, you’ll find three equally fun 5-metre inflatable sea creature installations dotted across the sand, bringing the whole space to life with pops of colour and ocean-inspired energy. It’s bold, it’s Instagrammable, and it’s the perfect excuse for a beach day with a creative twist.
Pssst.. There’s also exclusive merch available at Tanjong Beach Club!
When: Ongoing from April 2026
Where: Tanjong Beach, Sentosa
Check out the IMBA Theatre experience at Gardens by the Bay
Looking for an immersive arts experience that’s fun for kids and adults alike? Head to the brand new IMBA Theatre at Gardens by the Bay, a one‑of‑a‑kind attraction where large‑scale digital shows and curated gallery exhibitions bring art to life in ways that feel like stepping inside the artwork itself. Exhibitions like Botero: Heart of Volume and David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) combine projection, motion and sound for a visual adventure that’s great with older kids and teens.
When: Open daily 9am – 9pm (last entry around 8pm)
Where: IMBA Theatre at Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953, a short walk from Bayfront MRT

Take the teens to a VR gaming experience
Blasting aliens, cracking puzzles or escaping an arcade gone rogue! If your fam is up for something a little different this weekend, VR gaming in Singapore is where it’s at. What once felt like pure sci-fi is now an easy, family-friendly outing, with VR experiences popping up all over the island. Strap on a headset, grab a controller and suddenly you’re in a whole new world (yes, it’s as cool as it sounds). The best part? There are plenty of kid-friendly options too, so whether you’ve got a mini gamer or just want to try something new together, this is one activity that ticks the ‘fun for everyone’ box.
Visit the Bukit Batok Public Library (newly reopened)
Bukit Batok Public Library was the first in the world to use an RFID system and now they are the first to boast an immersive aural and visual library experience! It’s more than books, the newly renovated library features cool spaces like Sound Caves, Story Caves, Time Cavern, and Sound Pavilion, alongside moving kinetic art on level two. Find books, e-books, and audiobooks from the Infinite Shelves, and you can even Scan-n-Discover books to borrow! If you feel extra zen when you step in, it might be the effects of the meditative soundtracks of local sound artist, Mervin Wong. We love how the library’s design is inspired by Little Guilin at the town’s park and now that it has expanded spaces on levels one, two, and three, we could spend half a day here.
Where: Bukit Batok Public Library, 1 Bukit Batok Central Link, West Mall #03-01, Singapore 658713
Opening hours: Daily 11am – 9pm
Check out Exploria, an awesome new attraction at Mandai Wildlife West!
Teens in tow? You’ll want to bookmark Exploria, the newest indoor multimedia adventure at Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Billed as Southeast Asia’s largest indoor nature-themed attraction, this massive 10,000sqm, two-level space is less “exhibit” and more high-energy quest. Think Arctic peaks to ocean depths, prehistoric giants to microscopic marvels, all wrapped up in an interactive game where you clock points, earn badges and (sneakily!) soak up plenty of conservation know-how along the way.
It’s basically an indoor playground designed especially for teens older kids. Purposeful, yes, but so immersive they won’t even realise they’re learning. Expect dim lighting and dramatic sound effects in parts, comfy seating dotted around, stroller parking and nursing rooms on level one, plus water points near the restrooms to keep everyone hydrated. Doors officially open 3 March 2026, and trust us, this is one adventure your big kids will actually thank you for!
Where: Mandai Wildlife EAST, 80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore 729826
Price: For Wildpass holders, $34.20 per adult, $25.20 per child/ student, $20 per senior. Standard price $38 per adult, $28 per child/ student
Visit a pet cafe in Singapore!
Thinking of adding a furry friend to the fam? Start with a latte and some paws-on time at one of Singapore’s adorable dog and cat cafés. Whether your crew are die-hard dog lovers or devoted feline fans, these cosy spots are perfect for teaching kiddos how to interact gently and respectfully with animals. It’s a great “try before you adopt” idea if the kids have been campaigning hard for a pet, and lets everyone unwind over coffee while soaking up cuddles from some seriously cute critters. Just a heads-up: most pet cafés have minimum age requirements (usually six and up) to keep both kids and animals safe, so be sure to check before you go.
Try a fun art class with the kiddos
When the black clouds (or haze) rolls in, it’s always nice for kids to shelter inside an indoor play centre. But when you’re stuck at home, nothing brightens the atmosphere quite like reaching for our art supplies. But while it’s always nice to get crafty with the kids at home, wouldn’t it be great if you could take a break from scraping paint off your coffee table? We say, let your mini-Banksy get a real-life art lesson at one of Singapore’s art classes instead! These art studios and workshops around Singapore let kids get messy and busy to their heart’s content. Check out our full guide to art classes in Singapore for where to go to get crafty!
