Looking for a place to bring the whole family to this weekend? Well no worries, we’ve got it covered! Despite Singapore’s small size, there are plenty of places for our family to have a grand time at. Here are 10 of them where you can spend time with your family.

Marina Barrage
With its expansive grass patch, Marina Barrage is ideal for picnics and kite flying. Furthermore, at night, you might even chance upon astronomy enthusiasts with their telescope gazing at stars! Bring your children along and have a fun day outdoors, and look at the sky and city line at night.

Pasar Malam
Pasar Malams can be found at HDB estates. If you’re lucky. The best part of Pasar Malam is the variety of food: stinky tofu, tea leaf egg, fried fishballs, sotong chain and so much more! Bring your family out for a treat!

Vivocity Rooftop
The rooftop at VivoCity has a rooftop water feature in the skypark. It spans across the area of 4 Olympic sized swimming pools, so there’s always plenty of space. Also, check out the rooftop amphitheatre for showcases on the vibrant arts and cultural scene in Singapore! It’s an ideal spot for families to spend the day together.

Singapore Zoo
This award winning park is one of Singapore’s highlight attractions, and it’s definitely ideal for families on the weekend. Check out global wildlife habitats of the world, from the savannah grasslands of Africa to the canyons of Ethiopia. Famous for its walk-through exhibits that features intimate viewing of animals, the Singapore Zoo is a place not to be missed for families.

Punggol Waterway Park
This up and rising estate has a park that is segmented into 4 different themes – Nature Cove, Recreation Zone, Heritage Zone and Green Gallery. Here, you can jog with your family or bring your kids out for a picnic and take part in fun filled leisure activities.

Nook: D.I.Y. House of Pancakes
If you’re looking for a place to eat where your children can play with food, check out the DIY House of Pancakes. Here, children get to make, doodle, and cook their own pancakes. And eating them, of course. If your child doesn’t finish her plate very often, the house of pancakes will definitely be an exception.

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum
For families seeking a bit of educational experience, the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum is just the right place for you! The museum is Singapore’s first and only permanent natural history exhibition and showcases centuries-old exhibits. This include their famous exhibit–the fossils of 3 giant dinosaurs.

Gardens By the Bay
Located within the Gardens is the Far East Organisation Children’s Garden which features interactive play delights, water features and educational programmes in the flora and fauna of the gardens.

Chalets
A short staycation away from home can be like a mini vacation, so why not simply stay over at chalets and enjoy some time with your family during the holidays?

Changi City Point Playground
The 3 House at Changi City Point is the ultimate playground for kids. It has water jets and cannon where your kids can have a fun-filled time playing with water. Also, the dry play area has fun climbing structures. And if that’s not enough, there’s showering facilities located beside the food court.
