A family picnic is the best we can do together as a family while enjoying different activities. What a beautiful start of the new year – spending the priceless moments with your loving family! Recently we attended SG50 Family picnic organized at The Istana!
Families for life has organised first ever SG50 picnic to mark the 50th year celebrations and an event which brings all the family members together is the best. This is just when everyone has started coming to the event.
Aayan was excited to open and see his picnic bag.
The weather was just perfect to eat, play, relax and enjoy the activities.Kaira was busy playing with her balloon.
For for older kids there was a bouncy castle and a soccer zone as well.
There was a wishing ball to write your messages, heritage games, caricaturist, photo booth and make your own terrarium.President Tony Tan Keng Yam graced the event.

What a great way to spend time with your family!. I love that they have included everything you need for a family picnic, from food and drink to entertain. The kids would have a blast!
Going out to family picnics has declined in our country because there are less parks to go to and more big malls being built. I wish they have this kind of event here because I believe these are what we need from time-to-time; a quality time with family and nature. We need fresh air and relaxation at least once a month.
Can't remember the last family picnic I went to, I prefer those than going to the mall or just eating out. We get to cook our own food which is way healthier. Looks like your whole family enjoyed!
This seems like a fun activity for family bonding! 🙂 It's been so long since the last time I had a picnic with my family. And like Louise said, there are more malls in where we live. Anyway, your post really inspired me to go on a picnic soon. Will try and organize one for me, my partner and our closest friends. 🙂
Going out with the family! I wanna do this soon! As we all grow old, me and my siblings find it hard to gather in the same place at the same time. Tsk tsk tsk. We are scattered across the world. And yeah, this makes me miss my family.
Such a wonderful event. Helps promote value for family!
Such a lovely outings, to picnic together with so many families! Enjoyable!
Family bonding through outdoor activities is very healthful to every family. This family picnic must be celebrated twice a year for families worldwide.
Wow, I didn't know about this activity! It is pretty cool to be having a picnic at Istana… Were you able to wander elsewhere besides the fields?
The words “picnic goodies” got me. Everything looks perfect. Even the weather seemed to agree with the event.
I didn't grow up going to picnics so this is an activity that I find to be tons of fun. It's a nice activity to do with family – different from the usual mall trips.
Oh it looks like everyone had a great time. I haven't been to a big picnic like this in a long time.
The green grass looks stunning! I remember we used to spend picnic time in CCP compound before. It was always a simple yet fun bonding time with the family -KarenT
I always plan to have a picnic with my kid and family/friends but those are just plans and not yet to happen. Its so much fun
Very nice day out for a picnic with the kids. We enjoyed that when they were that age. But now the traffic and the responsibilities at work (both for parents and kids) have cut into our picnic time.
SG50 😀 I went for the NDP preview last year 🙂 It's very nice to have picnic with you family 🙂
The place looks refreshing for a family picnic. WIth 2,000 people in the vicinity, it looks like a big celebration.
Picnic at the park with your family is great. When my kids a re younger, we used to have a regular weekend date at the park. BTW, you have a lovely and happy family, mate.
I can't get over how adorable your children are! What a perfect family day! 😀
I think it's wonderful to belong to these family gathering groups. They are as sure way to build community and grow lasting friendships.
I missed this event but your family seemed to have loads of fun. There are many interesting events going on for SG50 yeah? 😉
I love going to picnic with my family when i was young but the weather is so hot these days so we hardly do it anymore.
Ah, Singapore efficiency at it's best 🙂 I am glad you had an early start to the sg50 celebrations! For myself I am trying to decide – heed the call to stay in town for the National day long weekend, or use that precious 5 days for a trip? Ah, decisions, decisions 🙂
Best, Ling Tan

I've lived here so many years but have yet to step foot inside our Istana. I must try to make it down next year!

Awww I love picnics! They are perfect for family outings, and yes, Istana is one of those with so much space to run about, the kids love it too. 🙂
I love picnics too!! Every time my hubby asks me where should we go, I will always end up with… "Picnic?" It looks super fun to be having a whale of a family time at the Istana.. such a special place!
I always thought it would be bored for the kids if we were to go on a picnic. But this one seems fun with all the activities catered to them.
We were there too! I really like such big areas with lots of greenery. I'm sure all of you had a fun though tiring day. 🙂
I remembered the times when we went for our first walk in to Istana open house.. No picnic for us then but it was still fun to run on the grass patch! Yours looks fun!
Looking at your pictures made me wish we had hazeless skies again. I miss picnics, outdoor play and just being OUT AND ABOUT WITHOUT A MASK!
It has been a while since I have outdoor picnic, you are tempting me to organise one!
I love picnics! The feeling of being outdoors. By the way your whole family looks awesome! Nice pics!
