Step onto the grounds of Singapore’s iconic National Stadium for three weekends of family activities, sporting experiences, behind-the-scenes tours, gaming, markets, movies and live entertainment.
The National Stadium Experience 2026 returns to The Kallang from 29 August to 20 September with an expansive programme designed for children, families, sports enthusiasts, gamers and anyone curious to explore the landmark venue.
Each featured weekend offers a different combination of activities. Visitors can introduce their children to cycling and new sports, join a tour of the National Stadium, browse products created by young entrepreneurs, try Muay Thai, test their gaming reflexes or settle down for an outdoor movie.
Recurring attractions include an inflatable playground, open-mic karaoke and the National Stadium’s LED roof display. General activities are free, although selected workshops, tours and specialised programmes require advance registration through The Kallang App or the respective organiser.

Three Weekends of Activities at the National Stadium
29 and 30 August: Family Fun Starts Here
The opening weekend focuses on family participation and giving children opportunities to try something new. Highlights include the Children’s Entrepreneurship Fair, Teach a Child to Cycle workshops, National Stadium tours, virtual archery, foam-blaster shooting and Muay Thai activities.
5 and 6 September: Play, Collect and Unwind
The second featured weekend brings together gaming, collecting, shopping and entertainment.

Our Take on the National Stadium Experience
The greatest strength of the National Stadium Experience is the sheer variety contained within one familiar venue. Parents can introduce their children to sports and cycling, collectors can explore the TCG show, gamers can compete physically and digitally, while other visitors can browse a market or enjoy an evening movie.
Its timing also makes the programme particularly useful for families. The opening weekend provides one final August outing, while the activities on 5, 6, 12 and 13 September fall directly within the school-holiday period.
Visitors should nevertheless plan their preferred activities before arriving. Some attractions can be enjoyed casually, while workshops, tours, Muay Thai programmes and other selected activities have separate registration procedures, capacity limits or participation requirements.
