5 Best Father's Day Experience Gifts in Singapore — Dad Bonding Activities Beyond the Restaurant

The best outdoor pick, and the one dads talk about afterwards. Adventures Network runs a guided mangrove paddle through Pulau Ubin's backwaters at S$110 per person, covering kayak, paddle, life vest and a small-group guide. Budget about 4 hours door to door, of which roughly 2 are on the water. Departures run at 9:00am or 1:30pm. Meeting point is 34 Pulau Ubin, a one-minute walk from the jetty — get there via the Changi Point ferry (about 10 minutes, roughly S$3–5 each way; boats leave once 12 passengers are aboard, so allow waiting time). Children must be at least 7 and paddle with an adult. Bring a change of clothes and sunblock; everything else is provided.

The most fun per dollar on this list. Axe Factor opened in 2017 and introduced axe throwing to Singapore; it sits at The Grandstand, 200 Turf Club Road #01-32A/B & 34A/B, S287994, with multi-lane setups, a safety briefing and competitive scoring. Pricing is quoted per group for a 1-hour session and the per-head cost drops the bigger your party: S$41.42 each for one or two people, S$39.97 each at three, S$39.51 at four, and down to about S$38.70 each at ten — all inclusive of 9% GST. A 2-hour session works out to roughly S$73–81 per person on the same sliding scale. The booking platform takes up to 15 people for a 1-hour slot and up to 25 for 2 hours; split larger groups across multiple bookings. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 12pm–10pm, and bookings are strongly preferred as walk-ins aren't guaranteed a lane. Surprisingly accessible for first-timers — most groups land their first stick within five throws.

For the speed-loving dad, and cheaper than most people expect. Legion of Racers runs a dedicated sim racing studio at 2 Kallang Avenue #06-01, CT Hub, S339407, with five premium simulator rigs — proper racing wheels, pedal sets and competition seating rather than a console setup. Walk-in sessions start from S$25 an hour, which makes this the easiest one on this list to try on a whim. If he takes to it, they run structured coaching through the Race Box Academy, plus birthday and corporate team-building packages, so a casual hour can turn into a proper lesson. Loud, intense and surprisingly tiring. Call +65 8750 1507 or email info@legionofracers.com to confirm rig availability before you head down.

The cheapest option here, and the best one for mixed-age families. LOST SG has moved to GR.iD at 1 Selegie Road #B1-03/04, S188306 — a short walk from Dhoby Ghaut and Little India MRT — with five private themed rooms: Alcatraz, Aokigahara, Castiglione, Exodus and Mausoleum. Sessions run 60 minutes at S$23.90 per person off-peak (weekdays 10:00am–5:30pm), rising to S$29.90 at peak, meaning weekends, weekday slots from 5:45pm, and public holidays and their eves all day. The venue itself runs daily 10am–10:30pm. Kids aged 6 and under go free with a paying adult; under-12s need adult supervision. The alternative is Captivate Escape Rooms at Singapore Shopping Centre #06-28, right by Dhoby Ghaut MRT Exit B, with eight purpose-built rooms at S$25 per person on weekdays and S$32 from Friday to Sunday — a better fit for larger groups. Weekend slots at both fill by Friday afternoon, and some rooms carry age recommendations for scarier themes.

The most refined pick, and the one whose address most guides still get wrong. The Auld Alliance holds one of the world's largest whisky collections at around 1,500 bottles — plus Armagnac, Cognac, rum, Calvados and a curated wine list — and was founded by Emmanuel Dron in 2010. Important: after stints at CHIJMES and then the Rendezvous Hotel, the bar moved in December 2025 to 13 Stamford Road #01-62, Capitol Building, S178906, and opens Wednesday to Monday from 5pm to midnight (closed Tuesdays). Anything still pointing you to Bras Basah is out of date. Drams are ordered à la carte across the list rather than as a fixed flight, so you can scale the evening from an approachable Speyside to a serious vintage bottling and let the staff walk you through it. Best for dads who already drink whisky but never stray beyond their usual one or two brands. Book a table through their site — walk-ins at weekends are a gamble.
