Families For Life | 5 must-do family activities this March school holiday!

School’s out and family time is in! There are many ways to spend quality time with loved ones and make lifelong memories. Whether you’re looking for cosy indoor experiences or want to have some fun in the sun, use this list to inspire your next family adventure together.

#1 Explore a walking trail and get some sun

Spending time outdoors might be a luxury during the school term, so seize the chance to take your fam out and explore some of Singapore’s many walking trails.

Immersing children in nature can be beneficial and help them take a break from screens. Older kids and adults can also find reprieve away from stressors and relax while surrounded by nature. There are even family-friendly walking trails available, so you can bring Grandma and Grandpa along too! Don’t forget to pack some snacks for the family and bring your water bottles!

#2 Go on a learning journey at the museum

From digital installations to art exhibits, there is no shortage of museums to learn something new!

Use this March holiday to expand your horizons and welcome new experiences with your family. Immerse yourselves in dazzling digital displays with FutureWorld, teamLab’s permanent exhibition at the ArtScience Museum; or take your family to explore Singapore’s heritage at one of Singapore’s cultural museums like the Peranakan Museum or the Asian Civilisations Museum.

Some museums will also host holiday workshops and interactive experiences, so keep an eye out for them!

#3 Beat the heat and make new memories at a water park

If the hot weather is holding you back from enjoying outdoor activities, try the water park! For families with little ones, there are many kid-friendly water parks to explore. Themed water parks like the Splash Wonder Water Park at Sentosa’s Palawan Green can provide endless entertainment for your younger children. Check it out from 13 March to 5 April 2026!

Families with older kids can be more adventurous and head over to the Adventure Cove Waterpark for adrenaline-filled family fun!

With plenty of public water parks available, you can beat the heat with your family without breaking the bank. Check out this list of public water parks and explore your options!

#4 Try something new together

If an all-day adventure isn’t what you’re looking for, you can still spend time together and make memories with simple indoor activities! Make it exciting by doing something the family hasn’t tried before.

Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Try your hand at some new recipes and get the family involved in making a feast!

Join a workshop. Make candles, art jam as a family, or do some pottery!

Pick up a new board game and set up a tournament in your living room. Tally the scores across the holidays – the winner is free from chores for a week!

Trying new things can help your children explore their interests and find new passions. You might even find a new hobby for yourself!

#5 Offer a helping hand and volunteer as a family

If you’re looking for something meaningful to do with loved ones, try volunteering together. From beach cleanups to supporting soup kitchens, you can choose a cause that resonates the most with you and your family and find a way to contribute to your community. Volunteering opportunities can expose your child to important life lessons and teach values like kindness and empathy.

The school holidays are the best time to make new memories with your family, so seize the opportunity and explore everything our sunny island has to offer! The time you spend together with your children will leave the greatest impression on them. Let’s prioritise family time and create lasting memories to carry for life.
