The Best Kids Activities And Free Family Fun At Children’s Season 2026
2025 May 24 - 2025 Jun 29
Children’s Season in Singapore is a vibrant, family-focused celebration of the arts designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and joy in young minds. Presented by arts organisations, museums, libraries, and community groups, the season offers a carefully curated mix of theatre, dance, music, storytelling, interactive exhibitions, and hands-on workshops tailored to different age groups — from toddlers and preschoolers to primary-school children.
Events to watch for in Children’s Season 2026:
- Events are crafted to be accessible and engaging: colourful puppet shows and immersive performances spark imagination, participatory music and movement sessions build confidence, while arts-and-crafts workshops and interactive installations encourage exploration and learning through play.
- Family-friendly film screenings, book readings and outreach programmes extend the season beyond performance venues into schools and neighbourhood centres, fostering community connections and making the arts approachable for all.
- Many programmes prioritise inclusivity and affordability, with free activities and subsidised tickets alongside premium experiences that require booking.
Educators and parents will find clear age guidance and practical information to help choose suitable events, while artists use the season to experiment with new formats that speak directly to young audiences.
