Singapore Sports Hub’s 2018 Christmas events
The holiday season is here and if you’re a mummy or daddy, it’s the perfect time to get the whole family out of the house and spend some quality time together – all while learning about meaningful social causes.
This year, Singapore Sports Hub is celebrating Christmas with a month-long bonanza: Season Of Giving. With activities lined-up every single day of the month from 27th Nov till the 1st Jan, you can expect a fun-filled time with free activities like mini golf, winning Disney on Ice merch, and even an IRL Santa Meet & Greet.
P.S. If you spend $10 or $50 at the Singapore Sports Hub facilities on weekdays, you can also redeem festive wrapping papers and $10 Kallang Wave Mall vouchers.
1. Play mini golf in a colourful mini Sports Hub
Enter Singapore Sports Museum and you’ll be greeted with a plethora of sports memorabilia all over but walk a little further in and you’ll find a colourful 9-hole mini golf course made for the little ones.
Putt Power! Fun Miniature Golf course is inspired by different locations across Singapore Sports Hub.
Feel like a giant as you traverse through re-creations of the Lazy River, National Stadium and the Water Sports Centre.
Remember to keep score, your kid might be the next Master’s tournament golfing champion!
Best part: it’s free for all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents!

Get an Instaworthy shot along the Kallang Basin

Head down at dusk for the extra feels, where the entire walkway is bathed in a gorgeous magical glow.
