#free kids events singapore october 2026

A life-sized T-Rex is making appearances at six locations across Singapore from 23 to 25 October 2026, ahead of the DINOSAUR ODYSSEY live show at Resorts World Sentosa this December. The walkabout stops at Jewel, Westgate, Waterway Point and Our Tampines Hub are free; two Choa Chu Kang community events are ticketed at $7 and $5 at the entrance. Spot the T-Rex at three or more locations, post your sightings and tag @season_entertainment_asia to claim a set of six dinosaur plush toys; hit all six locations and the haul grows to an exclusive DINO-A-LIVE booklet, a large plush and the six-plush set.

Octoburst!, Esplanade's children's festival, returns to the arts centre on Friday 2 October 2026, Children's Day, and every programme is free with no tickets and no booking. Nine programmes run from 10am to about 7.45pm across 19 start times, from a drop-in paper-flower craft studio and a self-guided room of stories written by Singapore schoolchildren, to non-competitive sports day games on the lawn, a children's choir, roving musicians, Roald Dahl set to live music, and a 6.45pm family dance party. A tenth programme, A Universe In Sounds, runs 3 and 4 October and is the only one with conditions: limited slots, free Esplanade&Me membership, one adult per child. The festival skipped Esplanade last year because of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, and The Story Keeper's Room stays on at PIP's PLAYbox until 1 November 2026.
