The June school holidays are finally here and while students celebrate the long-awaited break, parents may find themselves in planning mode once again, cooking up ideas for family time. If that sounds like you, fret not, Downtown East has got it covered with an exciting line-up of activities set to elevate bonding. The best part? Our programming combines movement, learning and play, allowing kids to experience a little bit of everything. Here’s what this vibrant lifestyle hub has in store for a well-rounded and fulfilling June holiday.   

Summer Sports Fiesta 

Until 19 July 2026, the Summer Sports Fiesta brings family-friendly fun across the whole destination. Over at Wild Wild Wet, the water park transforms into a pickleball-themed playground, surrounded by giant pickleball-inspired floats drifting along the Shiok River, energetic water polo matches happening at the Tsunami Pool (every weekend in June, 4pm to 5pm), Insta-worthy Flumi mascot photo spots around the park and even a dedicated pickleball court (permanent attraction) where guests can rally and play.  

Beyond the water attractions, Event Square comes alive with sports-style photobooths by Solace Studios and an enrichment fair (every weekend) packed with free trial classes and hands-on activities for all ages to discover new interests. Visitors who complete every three trial classes can also take part in a spin-the-wheel challenge to win exciting rewards!  

Family Staycation at D’Resort 

Travel may be a go-to during the school holidays, but staycations are becoming an increasingly sought-after alternative for families looking for a more affordable, convenient and hassle-free way to spend quality time together. Instead of squeezing bonding moments into a single-day outing, a staycation lets families slow down, reconnect and enjoy a few days of shared experiences without the stress of flight planning, packed itineraries or endless travel research. Even better when everything you need is right at your doorstep, like at D'Resort, where guests have seamless access to lifestyle, dining and entertainment options at Downtown East and splash-filled fun at Wild Wild Wet nearby.  

From now till 30 September 2026, make your getaway even more rewarding with D’Resort’s Lava Up Staycation Package, featuring up to 25% off Best Flexible Rates along with a complimentary 10-minute Floor is Lava game session at INMERS for up to four pax. The Stay and Play Package offering free Wild Wild Wet Day Passes is another popular choice, blending the ideal mix of rest and play all in one spot.

New Shop Openings 

Downtown East continues to evolve as a lively space where shoppers can discover a wide mix of experiences. From wellness and enrichment to dining and leisure, we keep things fresh by constantly introducing new brands that cater to different interests and age groups. Among our latest additions is Hair+Lab, providing advanced hair growth treatments that combine 100% premium Chinese herbal extracts with Korean extraction technology and cutting-edge German nanotechnology. Families with kids can also explore Gobblin Bake Studio, a child-friendly baking area designed like a miniature kitchen. Every oven, fridge and tool is perfectly sized for little hands, encouraging independence, creativity and parent-child bonding through engaging baking sessions.  

For refreshing pick-me-ups, stop by Dako Tea and indulge in organic teas and fragrant lemons sourced from high mountain regions or cool down with drinks from Mr Coconut, known for its 100% fresh coconut juice prepared daily for the ultimate treat in Singapore’s warm weather. 

The best holidays are often the ones filled with shared moments that everyone can look back on fondly even long after the break has ended. At Downtown East, each visit brings new opportunities for loved ones to reconnect through fun activities, good food and meaningful conversations. Instead of commuting and rushing from place to place, start focusing on making time for those who matter most in this dynamic, one-stop destination.
