Wish to go on a family vacation to connect with your children? A Singapore family getaway filled with memorable bonding activities that your whole family can enjoy together? 

The challenges of overseas travel may mean plans for the best family getaways from Singapore are shelved for now, but how about a family vacation in Singapore instead?

With the school holidays coming up, take a break from your daily work from home routine and get your kids away from the home environment (and screens!) for a short getaway to recharge and reconnect. We have plenty of indoor and outdoor holiday activity ideas for your family—even if you have kids varying in ages from teenagers to preschoolers. 

The teams at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, and PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore recommend these family bonding activities for your local getaway. 

• Where to Stay for Your Family Getaway

• Embrace the Great Outdoors as a Family

• Engage in Group Bonding Activities as a Family

For families of four or more, consider booking your weekend getaway at one of our Serviced Suites—Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, or PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore. 

Conveniently located near popular attractions and transport hubs, they offer spacious rooms to accommodate a bigger family. The Two-bedroom Premium Suite at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, in particular, provides 66sqm of space with utmost comfort and privacy. Enjoy its expansive living space and dining areas, along with a modern kitchenette if you feel like cooking. 

Looking for a bigger space? Consider the 93sqm Two-bedroom Premium Suite at  PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore, which provides panoramic views of Singapore’s skyline (available for booking for a minimum of six nights). After a day’s activities, your family retreat to this home-away-from-home for a movie with our extensive in-room entertainment system.  

Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard’s Two-bedroom Penthouse fits the bill if you wish to pamper the family (available for booking for a minimum of six nights). With the luxury of 157sqm of space sprawled over two levels, this penthouse is fitted with a Bose home theatre system and multimedia hub to entertain the whole family. 

If there is one thing common among teenagers and young children, it is their boundless energy. This is why outdoor activities are a great way to spend time together while keeping them away from screens—at least for a day or two! 

Start on a high note with a visit to Universal Studios Singapore, where the kids can expend their energy taking one thrill ride after another. If your kids have different tastes, no problem. This movie and TV-themed outdoor attraction offers seven themed zones and a collective 24 rides, shows and attractions. 

After the adrenaline rush of the theme park, take it slow with a kite-flying outing at the Marina Barrage. Encourage your kids to work together to get the kite flying, and let them bask in a sense of achievement when their kite takes to the skies. Or have a friendly competition between parents and children to spice things up. 

If your children enjoy a bit of friendly rivalry, try a new sport, and make it a competition.  The Water Sports Centre at the Singapore Sports Hub offers kayak rental (from $12 for two hours), and you can make it a family affair. Let your kids duke it out or join in the fun. If you guys are lucky enough, you might even catch sight of otters!
