With engaging activities and exclusive Father’s Day Deals happening in Downtown East, here are some simple gestures that speak volumes for Father’s Day.

The strong, silent providers and the reliable protectors of every household, a father’s love may come across muted, but it remains deep and bountiful in its own quiet way. If it’s been a while since you’ve expressed your appreciation for Dad, this upcoming Father’s Day is your chance to show that you care. With a selection of engaging activities and exclusive Father’s Day Deals happening in Downtown East, we make it easy to serve up something special, affordably and conveniently. Here are some simple gestures that speak volumes for Father’s Day.  

Bring Out His Playful Side  

Fathers often carry a serious, responsible disposition, so remind him that it’s okay to let loose and have fun. Encouraging Dad to reconnect with his playful side can help break away from the daily routine, creating heartwarming moments and shared laughter that strengthen bonds. Head over to Cow Play Cow Moo and Whimsy for an energetic afternoon packed with games, challenges and non-stop entertainment! Looking for an extra dose of adrenaline? Wild Wild Wet, located right next to Downtown East, is the perfect spot for water-filled excitement the whole family can enjoy.  

Don’t miss our Mid-Year Splash Deal, where you can grab Day Passes at a discount! Beyond the entertainment, it’s about giving him the space to relax, feel young at heart and revel in carefree, quality time with his loved ones. 

Engage in Friendly Competition  

Lighthearted, friendly competition can turn into some of the most meaningful Father’s Day memories. For a unique spin on this, check out GreenBox by My Golf Kaki, Singapore’s largest golf simulator hub, newly opened at Downtown East. Whether Dad’s a seasoned golfer or just in it for a good time, GreenBox offers an easygoing, casual environment where anyone can swing a club and relish the game. Featuring state-of-the-art, cutting-edge technology, you get a realistic and immersive golfing experience, rain or shine. And if Dad prefers to kick back, the lounge areas are great for relaxing and soaking in the action while others golf. It's the ideal blend of play and chill, all in one stylish space.  

Spoil Him With a Fresh Cut  

Nothing says “you deserve the best” like helping Dad look and feel good. At Downtown East, you’ll find a range of grooming spots to suit every type of dad. For the one who appreciates tradition with a modern twist, Clippers Barber Shop provides an old-school barbershop experience, complete with real barber chairs and professional barbers. Is Dad always on the go? Kcuts Family delivers a no-fuss, Korean-themed haircut in just 10 minutes, a go-to for the time-conscious. In contrast, Bonbon Blowout Bar, a full-service, family-friendly salon, offers everything from trendy cuts and blowouts to nourishing treatments in a welcoming setting. No matter Dad’s style or schedule, there are plenty of options here to make him feel loved.  

Treat Him to a Hearty Meal  

They say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach and we second that! From savoury bites to scrumptious desserts, there’s no shortage of flavourful ways to treat Dad. Start with Cha Yu Fan Hou’s 1-for-1 Medium Chocolate Milk, a refresher as you shop. For a family-style feast, Eighteen Chefs presents a complimentary Mixed Platter with Cheese Fondue when you order 4 main courses. Comforting local bites await at Kopifellas for 2 Foodaholics Sets ($10). And if Dad craves a little Thai surprise, Sakon Thai is serving up a free Sweet Tapioca with Coconut Milk with every set menu ordered.  

Finally, end your meal with something sweet like Swensen’s Darth Vader 3D Ice Cream Cake at just $61 or Ya Kun Family Cafe’s Longan Walnut Muffin at $3.20 and a refreshing Chilled Peach Gum Dessert at $4.50. With so many tasty ways to indulge, Downtown East makes celebrating Dad deliciously easy. 

At the end of the day, it doesn’t take grand gestures to show that care. Sometimes, it’s the simple things such as sharing a meal, enjoying a laugh or spending quality time that mean the most. To make the day even more special, Downtown East is hosting a Stamp Campaign that’s fun for the whole family! Explore the mall, complete activities, collect stamps and unlock exciting vouchers – a wonderful way to learn, play, connect and create lasting memories together this Father’s Day.
