7 Exciting Ways To Celebrate Singapore Children’s Day Weekend With Your Little Ones
In Singapore, Children’s Day is observed every first Friday of October. For this annual celebration, people aim to honour the rights of child welfare in the country.
Every year many establishments commemorate this special day by organising kid-friendly events. Most of them centre on offerings catered for families with young kids.
Meanwhile, other places decided to combine all special holidays in October and feature events that kids of all ages can enjoy. Because of this, you can expect kid-friendly Halloween activities along with Children’s Day specials.
To help you choose where to go with your kids, we divided 7 fun Singapore Children’s Day activities into three categories. With this, you can let your kids choose different events to fully enjoy the holiday during the weekend.

Organise a Picnic
We encourage you to spend Singapore’s Children’s Day with a weekend picnic in different places. With this, you can bond with your kids by involving them in preparing their favourite picnic food.
Botanic Gardens
The Botanic Gardens usually offer various Singapore Children’s Day specials involving picnics and kid-friendly events. Here, you can either pack your own meals or order from their food partners.
If you opt to bring your own picnic spread, you can lounge around the grassy area and enjoy the view with your kids. Alternatively, you can book custom picnic spreads that offer comfy mats and cushions with kid-friendly food.
Gardens by the Bay
Most families love organising a picnic in the Bay East Garden at Gardens by the Bay. Singapore’s Children’s Day isn’t any different because the area also offers additional events that your children can enjoy.
This October 2022, Gardens by the Bay features A Spanish Serenade with Sunflowers at the Flower Dome. You can go here before or after your picnic and take mesmerising pictures with your kids and spouse.
Fort Canning Park
The amazing view of Fort Canning Park goes well with your kid-friendly picnic spread during Children’s Day. While there, your kids and kill time and enjoy the different playgrounds.
Additionally, you can spend the whole day in the area by organising a whole-day affair. For this, we suggest you arrange a picnic at lunch; then, burn calories at the playground; and cap off the day with a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant.
Sentosa Beach
Enjoy a day under the sun by arranging a picnic at Sentosa Beach. Here, you and your kids can enjoy a dip in the water before enjoying your picnic.
Moreover, your children can enjoy playing in the sand or kid-friendly beach activities. You can either bring toys for sand castle building or book water activities like kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding.
