Find your joy: Family-friendly Christmas events and activities for everyone
Christmas is all about spending quality time with our loved ones. If you’re looking for fun ideas to make lasting memories, we’ve got you covered. Here are 10 merry activities and events that you must check out this festive season!
Have fun at the arcade
When was the last time you went to an arcade? If it has been a while, take this as a sign for you to relive your childhood.
Timezone at Parkway Parade is bound to give you an adrenaline rush with over 80 games available – and make sure to squeeze in a round or two of social bowling as well! Don’t worry, you won’t need to change into bowling shoes for this, plus the lanes are made kid-friendly so the little ones can also join in the fun. With energising music playing in the background, this creates the perfect setting for some friendly competition.
You’ll be in for a treat with Timezone's Christmas promotions: $50 game credits for $35 and $120 game credits for $70. Talk about a good deal!
If you find yourself in town, don’t miss the chance to visit Cow Play Cow Moo at 313@somerset. In addition to an exciting array of games, the arcade chain also offers an extensive selection of fantastic prizes – including limited edition products from Disney, Sanrio, Marvel and more – to sweeten your gaming experience.
Karaoke your heart out
If you’re hosting a large group, consider doing a karaoke session.
K Star at PLQ has rooms that can accommodate a party of up to 25 people. They also have Instagram-worthy thematic rooms that can fit up to 15 people. With prices starting from $25 per room per hour, you can host a party in style without breaking the bank.
Planning to head down anytime from Mondays to Thursdays? For a limited time only, you can karaoke your heart out at just $9.90 per person for two hours. Do note that this deal is only available at PLQ!
If there are any serious crooners in your party, consider HaveFun Family Karaoke. Their rooms boast state-of-the-art displays and a sound setup that will turn your karaoke sesh into a concert experience.
Go cosmic bowling
Take your group hangout to the next level with cosmic bowling at K Bowling Club. Think funky neon lighting, a live DJ and even side activities such as darts, pool and arcade games. You’ll want to take lots of photos here!
Get creative with art jamming
For those who prefer a more calming activity, Our Art Studio is a great place to drop by for an afternoon of art jamming. P.S. We hear that their bear painting workshops are pretty popular.
Pay LEGO Superpower Santa a visit and admire the Christmas lights
If you have friends or family members who are obsessed with LEGO, do them a favour and bring them down to LEGO Santa’s Superpower Cove - happening now at 313@somerset (L1 Atrium and L4 Space next to Well Bred store), Jem (B1 Jem Market and L2 outside H&M and IKEA Jurong) and Parkway Parade (Basement Airwell and L1 Mid Mall near GG<5) - where they'll get to take photos with LEGO’s Superpower Santa and shop exclusive LEGO sets.
There are special LEGO game stations available at Jem and Parkway Parade, open to children aged 12 and below.
The little ones will get to unleash their creativity at Santa's New Ride, where their mission is to build Santa a new superpower sleigh. They'll also get to help Santa distribute his presents at The Reindeer Dance and Present Run, which puts their agility to the test.
And finally, they'll learn about the superpower of sharing at the Build to Give station. Each LEGO Heart built here will be turned into a LEGO gift for another child, supported by appointed charity partners.
Once they've completed all the missions, they'll get to redeem an exclusive LEGO Santa minifigure!
There will also be special appearances by LEGO's Santa Mascot, happening from 2pm to 6pm on Dec 16, 17, 30 and 31 at Jem, and Dec 23 and 24 at Parkway Parade.
And what’s Christmas without Yuletide decorations and lights? Ignite your holiday spirit by heading down to the nearest Lendlease mall (313@somerset, Jem, Parkway Parade & PLQ), where they’ve decked the halls with the brightest lights and cutest decor.
After all, there’s nothing quite like sparkling Christmas ornaments to make your shopping experience a whole lot jollier!
Bring the kids to an indoor wonderland
Have little ones to entertain? They’ll adore Smigy, an indoor playground for kids aged two to 12, complete with a ball pit, trampolines, slides, climbing structures and a race car track. Fun guaranteed!
Catch a Christmas movie
If watching a holiday flick is a yearly Christmas tradition for your family, you’ll want to check out Cathay Cineplex Jem. In fact, treat yourselves to the Platinum Movie Suites, which come with an exclusive lounge area, leather recliner seats and wider legroom for an elevated viewing experience.
Surprise the K-pop fan in your life
When spending time with fellow K-fanatics, a trip to the House of Kpop is essential. In addition to showing your support for your beloved artistes by purchasing their records, the store also offers a selection of K-pop merchandise and K-beauty products for you to explore.
Test your claw-catching skills
Love claw-catching machines? Then put your skills to the test at Plushies Island, where you’ll get to score plushies and other fantastic prizes like your favourite anime figurines, blind boxes, and many more.
