For some reason or another, Mother’s Day always gets more attention than Father’s Day which is a shame because dads deserve to be celebrated as well! As Father’s Day is coming around the corner, how are you choosing to show your appreciation and love for the main guy in your family?
We understand that not all dads are the same—some prefer being outdoors, basking in the sunlight while others enjoy their quiet time indoors. If you are unable to make up your mind, we made things simple with a list of 9 Family Activities To Do On Father’s Day In Singapore.
#1 RIDE A GO-KART
Look no further than an afternoon of go-kart fun if you are looking for an adrenaline rush. There are currently three companies in Singapore where you can sign up—Kartright Speedway in Jurong, The Karting Arena at Bukit Timah and KF1 Karting Circuit located at Kranji.
Compete against Dad and see who is faster!
#2 HIKE SOUTHERN RIDGES
If you have been procrastinating on working out, now is a good time to start. The 10km trail is of moderate difficulty level which will bring you to Faber Peak, the iconic Henderson Waves, Forest Walk and more. You will pass by three parks and one nature reserve during the hike.
#3 CHILL AT A SECRET PUB
Looking for something more challenging? How about visiting one of the few secret pubs in Singapore? Part of the fun is when you try to hunt the locations down because these bars are hidden from plain sight and difficult to spot—one of them even requires a password.

Rock climbing may be an extreme sport but it is not impossible to conquer. There are plenty of rock gyms in Singapore for you to choose from and they cater to people of all levels. This is also a sport that encourages interaction and trust between participants so trust us when we say, it will be a fun session with Dad!
#5 BOND OVER A FISHING OR PRAWNING SESSION
Fishing is an activity you either love or hate. While some may find it a bore, others feel a sense of satisfaction whenever they manage to secure a catch.
If fishing is not your thing, why not try your hand at prawning instead? This unique activity is all the rage these few years and there are a handful of prawning facilities in Singapore.
#6 BE ADVENTUROUS AND TRY HORSE RIDING
Animals lovers have to visit the various stables in Singapore and go close up with the gentle horses. There are many trails for you to choose from, depending on your level of expertise and kids can even go for pony rides!
#7 CYCLE AT PULAU UBIN
Sometimes, we just need to escape from the urban city for a day and focus on time spent with family. Just a few minutes boat ride from Changi Village, Pulau Ubin is a great place for those who are keen to do sports such as cycling, kayaking and so on. Families can also make reservations for an overnight stay in the chalets.
#8 GIVE DAD A MAKEOVER
Oh yes, guys can have a pampering session too. There are a handful of men’s grooming salons in Singapore and they offer a wide range of services such as traditional haircuts, basic shaves, facials, massages and skin treatments.
It is time for a whole new look!
#9 HAVE A FAMILY BARBECUE AT A PARK
One of the most economical ways to celebrate Father’s Day is to have a family barbecue at East Coast Park or your neighbourhood park. After all, nothing brings people together like food does. Just remember to make prior reservations beforehand.
