The June Holidays have arrived, which means we’ll soon be graced with endless chitter-chatter from little ones who’ll now be spending all their school hours at home. Being the balls of energy they are, parents know it won’t be long before kiddos start nagging to go out – and honestly, there’s no shortage of things for the whole fam to enjoy this holiday.
From a Nickelodeon-themed playground to a Disney music concert and a 17,000sqft bouncy paradise, here are family-friendly activities in June 2022 that’s sure to be fun for the whole family.
Little ones who’ve spent their holidays bingeing Nickelodeon will now get to step into the worlds of Spongebob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dora the Explorer and Bubble Guppies.
Running from 26th February to 19th June, The World Of Nickelodeon Singapore 2022 is the first Nickelodeon themed entertainment centre to reach our sunny shores.

For instance, kiddos of all ages can chase bubbles and try their hand at catching jellyfish straight from Bikini Bottom through an interactive wall, or chase after bubbles.
Meanwhile, active ones will enjoy sweating it out wall-climbing just like the Ninja Turtles do, and journeying their way through the obstacle course like ninjas themselves.

Of course, when it’s Nickelodeon, we can’t leave out the iconic green slime-themed Slime Lounge, where kids can wiggle their way through a slime-like inflatable. Yes, it’s not real slime, so parents don’t have to worry about getting into a sticky clean-up situation.
There are life-size displays of Nickelodeon characters, but roving characters will also be around for fun photo sessions.

Kids have boundless energy, and now they’ll be able to channel all of it to a bouncing good time at Let’s Play @ D’Marquee, an indoor playground at Downtown East. Now open till 26th June 2022, the play paradise contains 10 gigantic themed inflatables.

The bouncy courses pose different challenges for your little ones to conquer. For instance, they’ll get to hike up and slide down a 4.8m-tall inflatable, or play Tarzan and Jane by making their way through a jungle-like course.
Kids can dive into a colourful ball pit and “rough house”safely in inflatable balls.

Brave ones can also go head-to-head with their opponents from the safety of inflatable bubble suits. Meanwhile, those down for some milder fun can enjoy swimming in a huge ball pit, or building sandcastles in a sandbox – needless to say, both younger kids and older ones will find something to keep entertained while here.
Little ones can take a ride on dinosaurs at the ‘“dino enclosure” at Begonia Terrace.
