Families For Life | Best indoor things to do in Singapore!

Is it going to be raining today? Or will it be hot and humid? It doesn’t matter if you’re indoors! If you’re looking for things to do around our sunny island that doesn’t involve having to fret about the weather, we’ve got you covered!

Here are 5 indoor activities you can do with the whole family, rain or shine!

Escape the heat and enjoy the cool comfort of aircon at Gardens by the Bay – a perfect activity that lets you be one with nature while keeping you sheltered from the elements. Ranked as the 8th best attraction in the world, it’s no wonder it’s a hot place for families and kids – and couples!

If you’re interested to learn more about our national flower, Gardens by the Bay is having an Orchid Extravaganza floral display in Flower Dome.

PororoPark Singapore is packed with fun activities, from a ride on the express train to a sensory sand-box pit. The best part?

4. Spend time reading

Picture this: you’re snuggling on the couch with your family, unplugged, all lost in your own book. It’s one of the cosiest ways to unwind at home, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

Take a trip to the library with your family and let everyone pick a book of their own. Set aside some quiet time over the weekend to read together. It’s a simple way to slow down and enjoy each other’s company, all within the comfort of your own home!

5. Cook together

Food is the way to the heart, so why not whip up a hearty meal together with your family? It’s a fun way to bond while staying comfortable indoors! Pick a recipe, grab the ingredients, and get cooking! You can also play some music to set the mood and turn your kitchen into a fun cooking party with the whole family.

There’s no shortage of indoor activities in Singapore, so why not try something new this weekend? Get ready for a fun-filled adventure, all while staying snug indoors!
