1. National Stadium Experience
5th-22nd Feb
The Kallang is turning the iconic National Stadium into a massive community space this February. If your little one is still wobbling on training wheels or scared of bikes entirely, the Teach a Child to Cycle Workshop is a godsend. These free 1-hour sessions provide professional guidance in a safe, flat environment to help them find their balance.
Besides cycling, the stadium is open most days for the public to just enjoy the space. Since it’s sheltered, you don’t have to worry about the unpredictable February rain ruining your active Sunday plans. Just remember to register early for the workshops, as slots usually fill up fast.
Admission: Free
Venue: National Stadium, Gate 3, The Kallang
Dates: 5th-22nd Feb, excluding 7th Feb
Time: Mon-Thu 5pm-9pm | Fri 4pm-9pm | Sat-Sun 9am-9pm

4. Not So Little Fair
7th-8th Feb
Think of the Not So Little Fair as a massive playground-meets-showroom. Happening at Suntec Convention Centre, this fair is designed for kids aged 14 and below. The biggest draw for the kids will definitely be the Kiztopia giant bouncy castle, but for parents, the real value is the $30 All-Access Pass. This pass lets your child try out over 40 different trial classes from top names like MADDspace for performing arts, ROBOROBO for robotics, and KTMA Academy for martial arts.
It’s the perfect way to see if your child actually likes a hobby before you commit to a full term of expensive fees. Plus, there are stage performances and heaps of vendors selling everything from baby essentials to educational toys. It’s free to enter, so even if you just want to walk around and soak in the vibes, it’s a solid weekend plan.

If you’ve always peered curiously through the gates at Orchard Road, now’s your chance to actually walk in. The Istana Open House on 22nd February is a special Chinese New Year edition, and it’s basically the ultimate picnic spot. While the Main Building is currently undergoing restoration, the massive grounds are open for the kiddos to run wild on the manicured lawns.
Look forward to live band performances, multicultural dances, and activity booths to keep the little ones occupied. If your kids are slightly older, grab tickets for the guided heritage tours ($8/adult, $4/child) to learn some cool history about the place. Pro-tip: wear lots of sunscreen and bring a portable fan, because the queue to enter can get quite rabak in the afternoon heat.
Admission: Free for Singaporeans & PRs | $20 for non-residents
Venue: The Istana, Orchard Road
Date: 22nd Feb
Time: 8.30am-6pm

Image credit: Chingay Parade SG via Facebook
Singapore’s iconic street parade is back, and this year’s theme of Chingay Parade 2026 is all about making your wish. The highlight is a brand-new 360-degree ring-shaped stage at the F1 Pit Building, meaning there isn’t a bad seat in the house. It’s a total sensory explosion with over 3,000 performers, illuminated floats, and multicultural costumes that will have the kids staring in awe.
It’s one of those must-see once events that truly showcases our local spirit. Since it’s an outdoor evening event, it’s much cooler than a midday outing, but do book your tickets early as Chingay seats usually sell out pretty quickly. BTW, you can use your SG Culture Pass to buy tickets.
Admission: From $20
Venue: F1 Pit Building
Dates: 27th & 28th Feb
Time: 8pm-9.30pm

13. Gundam Base Singapore
Newly opened store
The newly opened Gundam Base Singapore at Jewel Changi is a dream come true for fans of the iconic Japanese franchise. But even if your kid doesn’t know what a “Mobile Suit” is, they’ll likely be mesmerised by the 1.8-metre tall RX-78 statue at the entrance. The store isn’t just about buying expensive kits; it’s a tribute to the Gunpla, or Gundam plastic model, culture.
Keep an eye out for their free weekend model-building workshops. They provide the kits and the tools, and staff are on hand to guide first-timers. It’s a fantastic way to improve a child’s fine motor skills and patience.

Westies have a new weekend ritual. Bulim Park in Jurong West just opened its first section, and the star of the show is a massive, 3-level red net playground. It’s built under a “Sky Corridor” bridge, meaning it’s completely sheltered from the sun and rain. There’s also a nature playgarden nearby with balancing logs and rock-climbing mounds for kids who prefer to stay closer to the ground.
