Every Thursday, a short list of family-friendly events in Singapore for the weekend ahead: festivals, museum days, library storytimes, and what's on at places like the Esplanade, Gardens by the Bay and the Science Centre, each with its date, venue and price. Plus the government scheme deadlines coming up for your family, each with its official source.
The Singapore History Gallery reopens after three years and the whole museum is free to everyone for three days, sunflowers fill the Flower Dome, and if your child was born this year there is a date in March that decides whether the $500 Child LifeSG Credits reach them.
Children's Day falls on the Friday, so primary schools are closed and the weekend starts a day early: a free children's festival at the Esplanade, the last nights of the lanterns at Jurong Lake Gardens, and what the government adds to your child's CDA.
The last weekend of the Mid-Autumn lanterns, free music at the Esplanade, a museum that costs a citizen family nothing, and how many childcare leave days you actually have.
Lanterns at the Bay and by the lake, the last weekend of the river festival, three ways to pay less with kids in tow, and the one question every new parent asks about the Baby Bonus.
Lanterns go up at Gardens by the Bay, the river festival opens along the quays, a weekend of remembrance at Changi and Bukit Chandu, and the CDA First Step grant explained.
The Botanic Gardens and Fort Canning open a nine-day heritage festival, the Flower Dome goes free for under-12s, and how the childcare subsidy actually works.
