Planning a corporate family day in Singapore? You’re making a smart move. Research consistently shows that companies investing in family-inclusive events see higher employee engagement, stronger retention, and a more positive workplace culture. When employees can share a memorable day with their loved ones — courtesy of the company — it builds loyalty that no bonus can match.

But here’s the challenge: picking an idea that works for everyone — from toddlers to teens, partners to parents. You need something that’s fun, inclusive, and logistically doable.

We’ve organised hundreds of corporate family days in Singapore, and these are the 10 ideas that consistently get the best feedback from employees and their families.

1. Carnival & Fun Fair

Transform your venue into a vibrant carnival complete with games booths, prize wheels, cotton candy machines, and popcorn stations. Think ring toss, balloon darts, bean bag throws, and a giant Plinko board.

Best for: Large groups (100–1,000+ pax), all ages including toddlers
Budget range: $8,000–$30,000 depending on scale
Why employees love it: Zero planning needed on their end — they just show up and have fun. Kids go wild for the prizes, and adults secretly love the nostalgia of carnival games.
Pro tip: Add a photo booth with props and instant prints. It gives families a keepsake and generates great content for your company’s social media.

2. Amazing Race Adventure

Teams of families compete across multiple checkpoints, solving clues, completing challenges, and racing against the clock. Popular locations include Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa, and Marina Bay.

Best for: 50–300 pax, families with kids aged 6+
Budget range: $5,000–$15,000
Why employees love it: It’s exciting without being overly competitive. Families work together, explore Singapore, and bond over shared victories (and hilarious failures). Check out our Amazing Race programmes for inspiration.
Pro tip: Include a mix of physical, mental, and creative challenges so every family member can contribute — not just the fastest runner.

3. Outdoor Sports Day

Classic field day activities: relay races, tug-of-war, sack races, three-legged races, and captain’s ball. Set up on a school field or open park space with department-vs-department competitions.

Best for: 80–500 pax, families with kids aged 5+
Budget range: $4,000–$12,000
Why employees love it: It’s nostalgic, energetic, and brilliantly simple. Parents get to show their kids they’ve “still got it,” and the cheering from the sidelines creates incredible energy.
Pro tip: Create mixed-age relay teams so a toddler’s 5-metre dash counts just as much as dad’s 50-metre sprint. Levels the playing field and doubles the laughs.

4. Art & Craft Workshop

Set up multiple craft stations where families rotate through activities like tie-dye t-shirt making, terrarium building, pottery painting, candle making, or tote bag screen printing.

Best for: 30–200 pax, all ages (great for younger children)
Budget range: $3,000–$10,000
Why employees love it: Everyone takes home something they made together as a family. It’s calm, creative, and inclusive — even the shyest toddler or most reluctant teenager can get into painting a pot.
Pro tip: Tie-dye is the crowd favourite every single time. Let families make matching t-shirts — they’ll wear them for years and remember your company fondly every time.

5. Cooking Challenge

MasterChef-style team cook-offs where families prepare dishes together. Set up cooking stations with ingredients, aprons, and a panel of “judges” (your leadership team, naturally). Themes can range from local hawker favourites to international cuisine.

Best for: 30–150 pax, families with kids aged 5+
Budget range: $5,000–$15,000
Why employees love it: Food is the universal love language in Singapore. Families bond over chopping, stirring, and plating together — and everyone gets to eat the results. It’s collaborative, sensory, and delicious.
Pro tip: Keep recipes simple enough for kids to participate meaningfully. Sushi rolls, pizza, and kueh are perfect — achievable but impressive.

6. Water Play & Inflatable Park

Set up a massive inflatable water park with slides, splash pools, water obstacle courses, and sprinklers. Add water guns and balloon fights for extra chaos.

Best for: 50–500 pax, families with kids aged 3+
Budget range: $6,000–$20,000
Why employees love it: In Singapore’s heat, water play is an instant win. Kids (and plenty of adults) will be screaming with joy within minutes. It’s high-energy, refreshing, and requires zero skill — just willingness to get soaked.
Pro tip: Set up a dry zone with shade, seating, and food for grandparents and babies. Not everyone wants to get wet, and they’ll appreciate having a comfortable spot to watch the fun.

7. Movie Night Under the Stars

An outdoor cinema experience on the company lawn or a rented field. Giant inflatable screen, bean bags and picnic mats, popcorn and snack stations, and a family-friendly movie. Add fairy lights and food trucks for atmosphere.

Best for: 50–300 pax, all ages
Budget range: $4,000–$12,000
Why employees love it: It’s relaxed, magical, and different from the usual corporate event. Families cuddle up together under the stars, kids fall asleep on picnic mats, and it creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that formal venues can’t match.
Pro tip: Schedule it from 6 PM — start with lawn games and dinner while it’s light, then transition to the movie at sunset. Gives everyone time to settle in.

8. Farm Visit & Nature Trail

Take families to one of Singapore’s farms or nature spots — Bollywood Veggies, Hay Dairies, or Kranji Countryside. Activities include guided nature walks, vegetable harvesting, animal feeding, and farm-to-table cooking.

Best for: 30–150 pax, families with kids aged 3+
Budget range: $3,000–$10,000
Why employees love it: It’s a genuine escape from the office and the city. Kids get to touch real goats, pull real vegetables, and learn where food comes from. Parents love the screen-free, nature-immersive experience.
Pro tip: Arrange air-conditioned transport and bring plenty of water and insect repellent. Happy logistics = happy families.

9. Superhero / Character Theme Day

A fully themed event where kids (and brave adults) come dressed as their favourite characters. Plan themed activities: superhero training obstacle courses, character meet-and-greets, themed craft stations, and a costume parade with prizes.

Best for: 50–300 pax, especially families with kids aged 3–10
Budget range: $5,000–$15,000
Why employees love it: Kids absolutely lose their minds with excitement. When children are having the time of their lives, parents are happy — and grateful to the company that made it happen. The photos are also incredible.
Pro tip: Hire professional costumed characters (Spider-Man, Elsa, etc.) for meet-and-greets. The look on a 4-year-old’s face meeting their hero is worth every dollar.

10. Cultural Festival

Celebrate Singapore’s diversity with a multi-cultural food festival featuring cuisine from different cultures, traditional games, cultural performances (lion dance, Indian dance, Malay kompang), and heritage craft workshops like batik painting.

Best for: 100–500 pax, all ages
Budget range: $8,000–$25,000
Why employees love it: It honours Singapore’s multicultural identity and gives families a chance to share their heritage. Kids try foods they’ve never tasted, watch mesmerising performances, and learn to appreciate different cultures — all while having a blast.
Pro tip: Invite employees to contribute by running a booth showcasing their culture’s food or tradition. It creates ownership and pride, and the authenticity is unbeatable.

How to Plan a Corporate Family Day in Singapore

Ready to make it happen? Here’s a proven 5-step framework for planning a corporate family day that runs smoothly:

Step 1: Define Your Goals and Budget

What’s the primary objective — team bonding, employee appreciation, or brand culture? Your goal shapes everything from venue to activities. Set a realistic per-head budget ($30–$80 per person is typical in Singapore) and factor in food, activities, logistics, and contingencies.

Step 2: Survey Your Employees

Send a quick poll: How many family members? Ages of children? Any dietary requirements or accessibility needs? This data prevents nasty surprises and ensures you plan for your actual audience, not an imagined one.

Step 3: Choose Your Format and Venue

Indoor (hotel ballroom, convention centre) for weather-proof reliability, or outdoor (park, beach, resort) for a more relaxed vibe? Match the venue to your chosen activity and expected headcount. Book early — popular venues in Singapore fill up months in advance.

Step 4: Hire an Experienced Event Company

A professional family day event planner handles the heavy lifting: activity coordination, vendor management, safety protocols, emcee, and on-day logistics. This frees your HR team to actually enjoy the event. Browse our team building and events for ideas.

Step 5: Communicate Early and Build Excitement

Send save-the-dates 6–8 weeks out. Share teasers and sneak peeks in the weeks leading up. Create a simple registration form to track numbers. The more excitement you build beforehand, the higher attendance and energy you’ll get on the day.
