The school holidays are finally here, which means it’s time for some serious fun!

While international travel may not be the first choice for many of us due to the pandemic, we still have our fair share of activities in Singapore to enliven the holiday spirit. Here are 10 super-fun things you can do with your kids during the end-of-year school holidays that will keep them entertained and happy.

01 • For the bubbly kid: Bounce off at a trampoline park

From our personal experience, kids are usually the most excited about school holidays right at the start. They’re like charged molecules shooting across the living room and from couch to couch. What better time to take them to a trampoline park, exhaust them and prep them for a good night’s sleep?

Drive off to AMPED Trampoline Park — for just $15 an hour, you’ll get to bounce on more than 5,000 square feet of interconnected trampolines!
