10 Fun Activities to Do During This June 2023 Holidays
As the June holidays are quickly approaching, parents are starting to think about what they can do with their children during this break. Fortunately, there are plenty of fun activities in Singapore that both parents and preschoolers can enjoy. Here are ten exciting things to do during this June 2023 holiday break.
1. Visit a Museum
Singapore has many child-friendly museums that are perfect for preschoolers. The ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands is an excellent place to start. Children can interact with exhibits and learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) through hands-on activities. Another great option is the National Museum of Singapore, where children can learn about Singapore’s history through interactive exhibits and programmes. The museum has a range of exhibitions that are suitable for preschoolers, including the Singapore History Gallery, which takes visitors on a journey through Singapore’s past.
2. Have a Picnic
Singapore has many beautiful parks and green spaces, making it an ideal place for a picnic. Pack a basket with sandwiches, fruits, and other snacks, and head to a nearby park for a relaxing afternoon with your children. The Botanic Gardens is an excellent option for a fun-filled picnic. The gardens are home to over 10,000 species of plants and a range of activities, including hiking, biking, and picnicking. East Coast Park is another popular choice, with many picnic spots and recreational activities, such as cycling, rollerblading, and beach volleyball.
3. Attend a Play or Musical
Singapore has an impressive performing arts scene, with many family-friendly plays and musicals showing during the June holidays. Check out the listings at the Esplanade or Drama Centre to find a show that both you and your children will enjoy. The shows often feature colourful sets, catchy songs, and engaging storylines that will captivate preschoolers’ imaginations. Some popular shows include The Little Mermaid, Disney on Ice, and Aladdin.
4. Take a Nature Walk
Singapore has many scenic trails and nature reserves that are perfect for a leisurely walk with your children. The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is an excellent option for a fun-filled nature walk. The reserve is home to a range of flora and fauna, including monkeys, birds, and butterflies. The MacRitchie Reservoir is another popular choice, with many walking trails that wind through the lush forest and around the reservoir.
5. Visit a Farm
Visiting a farm is an excellent way for preschoolers to learn about animals and where their food comes from. There are several farms in Singapore, such as the Hay Dairies Goat Farm. Children can interact with animals and learn about farming practices, such as how to milk a goat. The farm also sells fresh goat milk, which is a healthy alternative to cow’s milk.
6. Attend a Festival
Singapore has many festivals that take place throughout the year, and the June holidays are no exception. The Children’s Festival at Gardens by the Bay from 10-25 June is a popular option, with many activities and performances for children. The festival often features interactive exhibits, educational workshops, and live shows. Children can also explore the gardens, which are home to over 1 million plants and many outdoor attractions, such as the Supertree Grove and the Cloud Forest Dome
7. Have a Movie Day
Sometimes, the best thing to do during the holidays is to relax at home. Have a movie day with your children and watch some of their favourite films. You could also set up a movie theatre at home, complete with popcorn and drinks, for an authentic cinema experience. Some popular films for preschoolers include Frozen, Toy Story, and Moana.
8. Visit an Indoor Play Area
Indoor play areas are a great way to keep your preschoolers active and entertained, especially on those hot and humid days in Singapore. These play areas are designed with safety in mind and have various activities catering to different age groups and interests. At Kidz Amaze, preschoolers can climb, crawl, and slide in a multi-level playground that’s complete with ball pits, slides, and obstacle courses. The play area is designed to encourage physical activity while also stimulating children’s creativity and imagination.
Meanwhile, at Kaboodle Kids, preschoolers can engage in sensory play, explore a toddler zone, and get creative in the craft area. The sensory play area is perfect for young children, who are still developing their senses, while the toddler zone is designed to stimulate their motor skills and encourage social interaction with other children. The craft area is a great way for children to express their creativity and features activities such as painting, drawing, and playdough.
9. Explore Sentosa Island
Sentosa Island is a treasure trove of activities and attractions for families with young children. At Universal Studios Singapore, children can meet their favourite characters, go on thrilling rides, and watch live shows. The S.E.A. Aquarium is home to over 100,000 marine animals and is a great way to teach children about marine life. And for those who want to have some fun in the sun, Sentosa’s beaches offer pristine sand, clear waters, and a range of water sports.
10. Have a Staycation
A staycation is a great way to unwind and spend quality time with your family without the stress of travelling. At the Shangri-La Hotel, children can participate in fun activities such as cupcake decorating, scavenger hunts, and movie nights. The Ritz-Carlton Millenia has a family package that includes a teddy bear, a tent, and a picnic set for children to enjoy in their luxurious guest rooms. Meanwhile, the Fullerton Bay Hotel offers a complimentary heritage tour, as well as a family picnic experience in the lush garden by the waterfront.
The June holidays are a great opportunity for parents to spend quality time with their preschoolers and create lasting memories. Whether it’s exploring a museum, having a picnic, attending a play or musical, taking a nature walk, visiting a farm, attending a festival, having a movie day, visiting an indoor play area, or trying something new, there are plenty of fun activities to do with your children in Singapore during this time. By engaging in these activities, parents can help their children develop new skills, expand their knowledge, and most importantly, have fun!
