There are so many things we love about bringing the kiddos to an outdoor playground! Firstly, it’s a fab activity if you’re looking for free things to do with kids; secondly, the little ones simply thrive outdoors and get plenty of fresh air. Needless to say, you probably have your go-to outdoor playgrounds near you but check out some of the newer ones that’ve opened: Bidadari Park’s nest themed playground, Boon Lay Glade’s fire station-themed playground and Tampines Boulevard Park (West)’s small playground with a sand pit.

Go cafe-hopping with the kids this weekend

There are so many kid-friendly restaurants and cafes in Singapore that you can make a day of it! Spend the morning at a cafe with playgrounds and kids’ corners, or bring the kids for a treat of ice cream or cakes and pastries at a dessert cafe in Singapore. Keep your eyes peeled for kids eat free deals as well!


Bring the kids for a buffet or afternoon tea

Weekends are for spending quality time as a family, and what better way to do that than with a memorable meal? Find a buffet in Singapore to treat the family to a sumptuous lunch or dinner, or book an afternoon tea in Singapore for decadent treats–some too pretty to eat (but will definitely delight the kiddos).
