Festival of Biodiversity 2026 runs on 6 and 7 June at The Plaza, National Library Building. The NParks-linked festival is built for families who want a hands-on way to learn about Singapore’s native biodiversity without needing to head deep into a park.
The programme includes festival booths, talks, workshops and citizen-science activities. It also connects to Biodiversity Week for Schools, which runs from 23 to 31 May 2026.
What Families Can Expect
The festival booths are the easy starting point. They bring NParks and nature organisations into one venue, so children can move between displays and activities while parents get practical ideas for learning more about local wildlife.
Talks and workshops are better for families who want a guided activity. If your child already likes insects, shore life, birds or plants, check the programme before going so you can target the most relevant sessions.
Why It Is Worth The Trip
Singapore’s biodiversity can feel invisible when daily life is mostly school, work and transport. A central festival makes the topic easier to approach, especially for families who are not regular nature-walk participants.
Because the venue is the National Library Building, it is also easy to pair the visit with Bugis, Bras Basah or City Hall plans. Bring a reusable bottle and expect family crowds around the most interactive booths.
