Family-Friendly Sports Activities in the City

To liven up your staycation, include some high-energy activities for the whole family!

 

Go Rock Climbing in Little India

 

Rock climbing is a full-body workout that builds confidence and problem-solving skills—it’s also a great family activity for those with energetic teenagers and older kids. Impressively, staycationers within (or near) the Little India district have three rock climbing centres to choose from! 

For now, Kinetics Climbing is the best rated, and there’s also OYEYO Boulder Home and Ground Up Climbing.

Table tennis is an accessible and budget-friendly activity that promotes family bonding, and it’s easy enough to get started—simply purchase paddles and balls at a sports shop such as Decathlon, and you’re ready to play! Even teens who are less inclined towards physical activity may take to table tennis quite quickly. Who knows, it may spur them on towards a more active lifestyle! 

For guests at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, Singapore, and PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road, Singapore, you can book a table tennis table ahead of your stay at the Singapore Sports Hub or the Pek Kio Community Centre respectively.

Let Loose at a Trampoline Park

 

Bouncing on a trampoline is something that anyone can do, and trampoline parks have been a big hit with tweens and teens since they were first introduced here several years ago. One possible reason is that the mere act of jumping is helpful for releasing stress and tension—perfect for adults and children alike! 

For staycation guests in the city centre, you can book jump slots in advance at BOUNCE Singapore or at Amped Trampoline Park (River Valley).

Engaging Indoor Activities for Tweens and Teens

Are your teens craving intellectual or cultural stimulation? Your staycation won’t be complete without these activities. (And yes, these activities are perfect for drawing your teens away from their digital devices—at least for a couple of hours!)

 

Join Forces in an Escape Room

 

Rack your brains, crack codes, and build your cooperative skills as a family—you can do all this and more by visiting an escape room in the city centre! There are several city-centre escape rooms to choose from, and Lockdown currently has the best Google rating.

Watch a Local Play

 

Why take teens to the theatre, when there are plenty of entertainment options around? In this age of digital entertainment, a trip to the theatre is a novel experience, as the physical proximity to “live” performers reminds us of what genuine connections should feel like. 

With local theatre, the topics tackled are usually thought- provoking and highly relevant for the Singapore context—local plays can open doors to new conversations between you and your teenage children, so that you can begin to find common understanding. If you’re new to the theatre scene, look up the offerings at theatre companies such as W!ld Rice.

Catch an Arthouse Movie

 

If your teens are open to non-mainstream movies, take them out to arthouse theatre The Projector to catch films that you won’t find in your regular cinemas. By doing so, you can expand your teen’s viewing repertoire beyond the usual predictable Hollywood productions. Have fun choosing between film festival selections, local indie flicks, and nostalgic reruns, but don’t forget to check that the movies are age-appropriate before you book tickets!
