The school holidays are here again, mums and dads!

As we end the year with Christmas cheer, we finally get the chance to spend more quality time with our loved ones.

However, for many families, school holidays can also feel long, loud, and occasionally chaotic.

But with the right mix of activities and downtime, they can also become the most magical weeks of the year.

This December brings an impressive line-up of events, staycations and holiday camps that offer fun, learning, and just enough structure to keep everyone sane.

Let’s dive into the best school holiday activities and programmes for kids this December.

Events That Spark Wonder

Disney Zootopia Adventure Bundle

Running from 23 October 2025 to 4 January 2026, this limited-time bundle is perfect for families who want a themed day out with a little extra charm.

For $75, you get admission for one adult and one child plus an exclusive Zootopia 2 plush keychain — an adorable souvenir and a useful bargaining chip for good behaviour.

Kids get to explore the zoo, learn about animals, spot familiar Zootopia faces and enjoy a fun, immersive experience.

If you have a WildPass, you also get a $10 voucher with a minimum $60 spend on digiphoto mementos.

Harry Potter: Visions of Magic

Whether your child grew up waving chopsticks like wands or you proudly know your Hogwarts house, this exhibition at Sentosa is a must-visit.

Featuring 10 immersive environments, including The Chamber of Secrets and The Trap Door (both exclusive to Singapore), families get to cast spells, explore magical rooms, and step into scenes straight from the Wizarding World. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, and tickets start at $49 online.

The included Wild Zoo Day Camp offers guided zoo tours, hands-on interactions at KidzWorld and conservation-themed activities.

A two-night minimum applies, but the experience is rich enough to justify the stay.

The package includes breakfast for 2 adults + 1 child, and 1-day zoo admission for the whole family

Welcome to Gnome’s Land

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay’s gnome-themed rooms feel like stepping into a fantasy world.

With the right blend of outings, camps and restful moments, the school holidays can become a season of joy, discovery and shared laughter.

Whether you choose something magical, educational or simply relaxing, these moments become the stories your children look back on fondly.

So, plan boldly, leave room for spontaneity and let December unfold. One adventure at a time.
