Sunday is here, and if you have little ones at home wondering what to do, Singapore has no shortage of family-friendly activities this weekend. From a magical underground adventure designed for curious toddlers to a baby capybara celebration at River Wonders, here are the best things to do with kids in Singapore this weekend, 26–27 April 2026.
1. WonderGround at The Artground, One Holland Village
Designed by artist Aida Sa’ad, WonderGround at The Artground in One Holland Village is one of the most enchanting new installations in Singapore right now. The immersive experience invites children to become “burrow buddies” — exploring underground tunnels, sparkling caverns, and root systems in a sensory-rich environment designed to spark curiosity and imaginative play.
It is best suited for children aged 2–8, and the hands-on, tactile nature of the installation makes it genuinely engaging rather than just visually pretty. If you have not brought the little ones here yet, this weekend is a great time to go.
- Where: The Artground, One Holland Village
- Age suitability: 2–8 years
- Tip: Book tickets in advance on The Artground website as sessions can fill up quickly
2. It’s a Capy Celebration! at River Wonders
River Wonders is celebrating the 100-day milestone of its adorable capybara pup, and the month-long festivities run until 3 May 2026. Activities include a curated capybara trail, themed photo points, keeper talks, and lively enrichment sessions where you can watch the capybaras interact with their favourite snacks and toys.
This is a lovely excuse to visit River Wonders if you have not been in a while. Combined with the rest of the park — including the Amazon Flooded Forest and the Giant Panda Forest — it makes for a full and memorable family day out.
- Where: River Wonders, 80 Mandai Lake Road
- Valid till: 3 May 2026
- Admission: Included with River Wonders entry (adult from $43, child from $30)
3. Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue at Mandai Wildlife EAST
If your kids are Minecraft fans (and let’s be honest, whose kids are not?), the Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue is the must-do family experience of the year. This Asia-first attraction at Mandai Wildlife EAST takes you through eight interactive rooms where you explore, craft, and collaborate to rescue a village under attack from zombies.
The one-hour story-driven quest is surprisingly engaging for both children and adults. It runs until 13 September 2026, so you have time — but booking ahead is strongly recommended as it has been selling out quickly since opening on 24 April.
- Where: Mandai Wildlife EAST (near the Green Canvas area)
- Duration: Approximately 1 hour
- Valid till: 13 September 2026
4. Roald Dahl’s The BFG at Esplanade Theatre
Roald Dahl’s beloved story The BFG is brought to life on stage at the Esplanade Theatre, running from 22 April to 9 May 2026. This professional stage production is perfect for children aged 5 and above, and the storytelling, costumes, and stage design consistently draw rave reviews. If your child has read the book, seeing it come alive on stage is a truly magical experience.
- Where: Esplanade Theatre
- Valid till: 9 May 2026
- Tickets: Available on SISTIC, from $35
5. DIMOO: The Secret Theatre Club Pop-Up at Plaza Singapura
The beloved DIMOO character has taken over Plaza Singapura’s outdoor plaza with a theatrical pop-up running until 7 June 2026. The Secret Theatre Club features an immersive theatre-themed concept with exclusive collectibles, photo opportunities, and a whimsical atmosphere that older kids and art toy fans will love. Entry to the pop-up area is free.
6. Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay
Tulipmania 2026 transforms the Flower Dome into a stunning Dutch-inspired landscape with tulips in every colour imaginable. Windmills, art replicas, and vibrant floral displays make this one of the prettiest family outings of the season. The Flower Dome admission applies, so pair it with the Cloud Forest for a full day out.
7. Disney Store Pop-Up at Great World
The DisneyStore.sg pop-up is open at Great World Level 1 Atrium through 17 May 2026, featuring Disney and Star Wars merchandise plus exclusive activities for young fans. Perfect to browse if you are heading to Great World for a family meal.
8. Green Corridors and Nature Trails
If you prefer something free and outdoors, Singapore’s nature reserves offer lovely family walking trails. Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and the Rail Corridor are all wonderful on a cooler Sunday morning. Pack snacks, bring insect repellent, and enjoy the greenery before the afternoon heat sets in.
