That’s not all.

3. Relive Charlie Brown and Snoopy’s Friendship at the PEANUTS pop-up exhibition

Go on a snow adventure or have fun locating all the PEANUTS photospots with the fam.

June marks one of the hottest months in Singapore, but don’t let dad sweat buckets by taking him over to the all-new The Snoopy Adventure pop-up at Terminal 3. Open until 11 July 2022, the exhibition has plenty of photo spots and even a snow-themed hangout where you and dad can make memories together.

Escape the heat and “teleport” to a cold climate by entering the Peanuts Snow Hangout. To enter the indoor space boasting sub-zero degrees, guests will need to don winter jackets, gloves and grip shoes. Once assimilated with the cold, go on a snow adventure by having a go at the mini slide, dig through snow with excavators, make snow angels, or even have a snowball fight with the fam! 

Alternatively, keep a lookout for many other Snoopy-themed photo spots around T3, including a giant topiary of Snoopy and Woodstock skating and a colouring station suitable for kids. 

Direct entry to the Peanuts Snow Hangout costs S$18 per pax, or you can get a discounted entry pass at just S$5 with every S$30 spent in a single receipt or S$50 for supermarket – time to get shopping! 

Location: Terminal 3 Departure Hall
Operating hours: Opens daily from 11:00am to 10:00pm

4. Have a bakkwa and wine pairing session at Bee Cheng Hiang

If you and dad need a break from the tonne of activities to check out during your weekend, settle in at the Bee Cheng Hiang outlet at Jewel for some unique Father’s Day food.

Don’t just expect the usual bakkwa options for takeaway here – there are also bakkwa and wine pairing sessions to really bring out the flavour of the different sizzling meats. Nestled in the corner of the concept store, the bar counter and booth will provide a cosy spot for you and dad to catch up over the combination. 

The wines are procured from Bordeaux, France by a wine specialist, and you can order by the glass or get a bottle to share. Consult the staff onsite to recommend a wine to your preference and watch as your bakkwa gets grilled live before you at the grilling station – a concept also found at the Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery at Serangoon. 

But if you're thinking of enjoying the bakkwa at home, you can also pair it with brandy for a different experience!

Location: #01-226, Jewel Changi Airport
Operating hours: Monday to Thursday – 10:30am to 9:30pm; Friday to Sunday and Public Holiday – 10:00am to 10:00pm

No Father’s Day is truly complete without a Father’s Day gift. To make the man of the day feel extra special, why not bring him on a shopping spree for new sports apparel or gear at the two-storey Nike store?

As one of the many Jewel shops retailing sportswear, the Nike concept store has racks after racks of the latest sneaker and merch drops, so you can pick out a swaggy new OOTD for dad. What’s also special about this store is how you can customise your purchases at a top-up fee, including shirt printing and patches.
