Book this fab family staycation for NY or Xmas

Beat the festive traffic with a central staycation for the whole family at Pan Pacific Singapore, a hotel near Marina Bay. Whether it’s for Christmas activities close by, New Year fireworks or taking advantage of the fun kids’ activities in-house, you will create delightful memories for the whole family!

Let imagination take flight at Pan Pacific Singapore

The “Stay & Play with Pan Pan” staycation is centred around bringing imaginative experiences to children under 12 through Pan Pan the Lamb. The mascot pops up in various ways throughout the stay.

Upon entering the room, a Pan Pan plushie greets little ones from the bed. The plushie is a companion to Pan Pan’s Big Balloon Adventure storybook; it’s a great way for parents to bond with their children during this staycation with some bedtime reading!

Got an active toddler? Head to the Urban Jungle Village, an indoor play area located next to the pool. There are seven activity zones such as a Jungle Village, Safari Trail, Explorer Den and more where they can safely play and hone their reading, balance, strength and motor skills. Pan Pan can follow along, adding more imaginative memories.

For parents who are Pan Pacific Discovery members, there’s an extra sweet treat on offer. At check in for your staycation, when your child says, “I am a Pan Pacific Discovery kid”, they can redeem an ice cream, candy pack or some cookies.
