Figuring out where to go with the family has gotten a whole lot easier with Downtown East. Maximise the weekends with fun activities for the kids and family in Singapore at the entertainment centre of the east for leisure seekers of all ages.

What are some of the fun places for kids that provide one of the best one-stop school holiday activities in Singapore? Skip the traditional playground for kids, what better way to bond over outdoor family activities than by heading down to Wild Wild Wet – one of the largest waterparks in Singapore - for a splashing good time. The best part? The latest Wild Wild Wet promotion now offers free night entry on Fridays  and Saturdays for selected rides in the month of June so you can get the most out of your day without spending a dime on a Wild Wild Wet ticket.

After this, you can even consider spending the night relaxing at D’Resort, Singapore’s first nature-inspired resort that is integrated with a water park.

Alternatively, stay indoors for a day of fun at the hottest Downtown East spots like at the arcade, Cow Play Cow Moo or Tayo Station, an indoor playground for kids that spans a massive 10,000-square feet themed around Korean Animation series “Tayo the Little Bus”. Kick back, relax, and watch them explore the endless playground paradise at Tayo Station or keep their eyes and little hands glued in the claw machine paradise, Cow Play Cow Moo, and its UFO toy catchers.

Mums and dads can also take a step back in time to the ’70s at the Hi-Roller Indoor Skating Rink and relive the nostalgic, romantic dating moments from back in the day and skate with peace knowing their kids are in a safe environment with Hi-Roller’s soft and lightly padded ground. Complete with snazzy disco lights and electro-dance music, this largest indoor skating rink in Singapore immerses you in whimsical vibes, bringing you back to the golden, nostalgic times. You can even sign up for skating lessons with their friendly resident coaches so grab a partner or gather your friends and give roller or in-line skating a try.

Fancy activities aside, Gogreen, the Downtown East e-scooter store, provides Segway miniPROs, e-scooters and kids’ non-electric scooters for you to explore the East side of the island. Enjoy a simple day of family fun with the little ones and discover Pasir Ris park, and Downtown East market square, and the surrounding neighbourhood effortlessly and safely on the e-scooters and kids’ non-electric scooters. Gogreen’s scooters are safely certified and approved for use on public pavements and parks so grab yourself a Segway and zoom down the street on wheels. Gogreen also provides Electric Go-Karts at Begonia open air carpark every Friday from 6pm to 9pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm to-9pm. With kids’ Go-Kart options available, gone are the days of boring o’ feet-draggin and walking in the heat. 

Even if you're in the mood for just a lazy afternoon, check out the latest Cathay Cineplex Downtown East show times for family-friendly blockbusters, and spend your afternoon chilling in the comforts of this state-of-the-art theatre. So the next time you’re racking your brains for the most awesome family activities in Singapore, head down to this buzzing spot in the East. There’s bound to be an activity for everyone, not to mention the Downtown East dining options to satiate any craving! Bid adieu to stressful days and spend some quality family and friends time exploring the activities available!
