Broaden your little one’s imagination with this immersive, multi-sensory adventure. Journey through eight interactive rooms exploring themes like memory, perception, and ego. Watch the kids’ excitement soar as they choose a door and see their words and actions come to life in a vibrant digital world filled with lights, sounds, and ever-changing scenes. It’s a fun, artsy experience designed to spark creativity and help kids discover more about themselves in the most playful way possible.

Nearly 30 years on and Disney On Ice is still as magical as ever. Calling all Disney fans, young and young-at-heart, grab your mouse ears as Mickey and friends skate in to bring modern favourites like Moana and Mirabel from Encanto and long-time Disney Princesses to life – on ice, of course. This new show celebrates heroism through heartwarming tales of bravery and resilience. Expect impressive figure skating moves, dazzling costumes, and breathtaking sets, all elevated with innovative lighting and exhilarating special effects. It’s a show that will leave you cheering, laughing, and maybe even wiping away a tear or two.

Sometimes, the best way to beat the Singapore heat is with a dose of thrills and spills. After making waves at its debut last year, Kiztopia’s Splashtopia is back at Sentosa’s Palawan Green with a pirate-themed water wonderland. Seas the moment (see what we did there?) with 10 massive, specially designed inflatables. Let the kids take on Dr. Octo, a giant purple octopus, while tackling obstacle courses, zooming down water slides, and uncovering treasure-filled surprises at every turn.

Hop into the Easter spirit early with an epic egg hunt featuring 100 giant eggs scattered across Bird Paradise, each representing different bird habitats. Kids can also join the Ranger Buddies Eggs-pedition to discover C.O.U.R.A.G.E. life skills and take part in a digital Easter Eggs-ploration for cool rewards. Don’t miss the first-ever Avian Easter Parade on selected weekends, where colourful dancers take flight, and a special edition of the park’s Songbirds Keeper Talk to learn more about our feathered friends. Pro tip: be a WildPass holder and enjoy free entry for kids with every adult ticket from March 15 to April 20.

Forget overstimulating play zones – Rocketland keeps things simple with calming yellow tones and soothing rhythmic beats to help kids focus and relax. This is also designed to promote better behaviour and even improve sleep patterns – a win for sleep-deprived parents. The 5,000-square-foot space is also great for little legs to explore the space fully without the meltdown. Plus, with Aperia Mall’s glass ceiling, little ones can also soak up natural sunlight for a healthy dose of Vitamin D without the sticky heat.

If your little drama queen (or king) knows all the words to Wicked's musical numbers – both the award-winning Broadway and movie adaptation – then this live production is a must-see. Here’s your chance to see the Sands Theatre all grand and green as it sets the stage for two unlikely friends – one misunderstood, the other impossibly popular – as they navigate wizards, witches, and whirlwind adventures – all before a certain girl in ruby slippers clicks her way onto the scene.

Trade screen time for story time and head to the Esplanade as March On, the annual children’s festival, makes its exciting return. This year’s edition is extra special, featuring a Singapore-first: The Lost Lending Library by renowned British immersive theatre company Punchdrunk Enrichment. Your little bookworm’s mission? Gather as many new stories as possible for this magical, ever-growing library. But the fun isn’t just for the kids – parents can jump in too. It’s a page-turning experience the whole family will love.

Introduce the little ones to the world of golf at LIV Golf’s Fan Village, where kids under 12 get in for free. This isn’t just any old day out – it’s a hole-in-one for family fun. From interactive games and exciting challenges to photo ops to mark the memorable day out, there’s plenty to keep the juniors entertained. Watch them take a swing, test their skills, and maybe even discover their inner golf pro.

Set your alarms – the highly anticipated Rainforest Wild Asia is swinging open its doors on March 12. If your little explorer loves animals, get ready for a wild adventure through a recreated Southeast Asian rainforest teeming with 36 incredible species, from stealthy Malayan tigers to playful Javan langurs and elusive Philippine spotted deer. Wander through eight immersive habitat zones, including The Cavern, a breathtaking 220-meter air-conditioned cave route inspired by Sarawak’s UNESCO-worthy Mulu Caves. With raised walkways and shaded rest areas, families with strollers can roam comfortably.
