Children’s Season 2026 transforms children into Earth’s Superheroes

The annual Children’s Season returns from 30 May to 28 June 2026 with a month of free and ticketed activities across 21 museums and institutions, inviting families to spark wonder and creativity through the power of play.

Anchored on the theme ‘Sustainability’, this year’s edition invites children to become Earth’s Superheroes as they imagine a greener future through play, discovery, and wonder.

Childrens Season 2026

Led by Children’s Museum Singapore (CMSG) – Singapore’s first and only children’s museum – Children’s Season 2026 marks the first time CMSG celebrates International Day of Play (IDOP) through PLAY @ Children’s Season 2026, a dedicated week of play-based programmes culminating in a weekend carnival from 12 to 14 June, stretching from CMSG to Lewin Terrace and Armenian Street.

Children at the Heart of Children’s Season

As Singapore’s first and only museum dedicated to children, CMSG is built on the belief that play is how children learn most naturally and deeply. This philosophy comes to life in Children’s Season 2026, which features its third iteration of the Children’s Panel. Comprising 25 students from Huamin Primary School aged 10 to 11, the panel worked closely with CMSG and artists, providing insights and feedback to co-create this edition’s Signature Programmes. Among their contributions: a suggestion to design a badge as part of the craft component for Ms. Nat and the Zero Waste Heroes, and a hand in developing the props and costumes for the animal characters in The Four Harmonious Friends. These reflect CMSG’s genuine commitment to letting children shape the experiences made for them.

“Children have always played a key role in guiding the experiences CMSG offers. Since leading our first Children’s Season in 2024, we have worked closely with young minds to create an exciting roster of programmes across Singapore, and this year is no different. Every experience we create is designed with children at the centre, with their curiosity and creativity driving everything we do. By encouraging children to learn about sustainability in fun and engaging ways, we hope to spark a sense of curiosity in them to discover their crucial role in saving planet Earth. In sowing the seeds of care today, we believe that our children will emerge as resourceful guardians of our future. We are also proud to mark International Day of Play for the first time at Children’s Season, reinforcing our belief that play is a powerful vehicle for learning and discovery.” said Asmah Alias, Director of Galleries, Exhibitions and Museums, HeritageSG.

Children’s Season 2026 Programmes

From hands-on workshops and parent-child programmes to a weekend carnival in celebration of IDOP, families can enjoy a wide-range of activities across Singapore this June holidays at Children’s Season 2026.

Based on the insights provided and selections by the Children’s Panel, this year’s edition features four Signature Programmes, spread across the island, at CMSG, Indian Heritage Centre (IHC), KidsSTOP™ and Singapore Maritime Gallery – reflecting the collaboration between HeritageSG and the Museum Roundtable network. Blending play and storytelling, the Signature Programmes invite families to learn about our heritage and sustainability.

At CMSG, Ms. Nat and the Zero Waste Heroes transforms children into Earth’s Superheroes as they lower the Waste-O-Meter through sustainable habits. Raja and the Lost Journal at IHC take participants on an interactive journey through the lives of early migrants, discovering how they turned limited resources into ingenious solutions. Children can also enjoy an immersive play-based experience to discover and save our oceans at the Singapore Maritime Gallery’s The Coral Keepers, or explore ways to champion harmonious and sustainable living through four animals at The Four Harmonious Friends in KidsSTOP™, Science Centre Singapore.

The fan-favourite Stamp Booklet Activity returns at Children’s Season 2026. Families can pick up a stamp booklet from any of the 21 participating MR members and collect special stamps after completing an activity at the venues. Prizes will be awarded based on the number of stamps collected.
