Every Weekend, Both Hubs
This isn’t a one-off event — it’s a running weekend lineup at both locations, so you can plan around it as often as you like.
At Guoco Midtown (Beach Road):
- Playground: open 24/7
- Doodle Wall: open 24/7
- Smoke bubble machine: every Saturday (6–6.30pm and 7–7.30pm) and Sunday (12–12.30pm and 1–1.30pm)
- Free popcorn: every Sunday, 12pm to 3pm
At Guoco Midtown II (Tan Quee Lan Street):
- Playground: open 24/7
- Colouring station: every Sunday
- Free candy floss: every Sunday, 12pm to 3pm
Kids chasing giant bubbles across the plaza, or getting stuck into a colouring station while you grab a coffee nearby — it’s the kind of low-effort, high-reward outing that doesn’t need much planning on your end.
A Children’s Day Weekend Worth Planning Around
If you’re reading this around early October, take note: Sunday, 4 October 2026 brings a special one-off lineup across both hubs, exclusively for Children’s Day.
At Guoco Midtown (Midtown Market):
- Face painting: 11.30am – 1pm
- Balloon sculpting: 1.30pm – 3pm
At Guoco Midtown II (outside TAG Espresso):
- Balloon sculpting: 11.30am – 1pm
- Face painting: 1.30pm – 3pm
The two hubs run the activities in opposite order, so if you’re hopping between both, you could catch face painting at one and balloon sculpting at the other without a long wait either way.
Two Stores Worth Visiting
A couple of participating stores have their own ongoing perks worth knowing about:
The Telegraph by Olivia & Co. (Guoco Midtown, #01-07) runs a Sunday promotion — order 2 main courses and get a free kids’ meal thrown in.
Xiang Ju (Guoco Midtown II, #01-10/11/12) offers a free ice cream when you dine in-store on Sundays, while stocks last.
Free Parking With a $50 Spend
Here’s a genuinely useful perk for the parents: free parking all day on weekends, and on weekdays after 5pm, when you spend a minimum of $50 at participating stores at Guoco Midtown (Beach Road). The participating list covers a solid spread of F&B and lifestyle spots, including:
So Do Fun, Flutes Restaurant, Setsuri Ishinomaki, Elephant Grounds, UMAI, Summer Folks Cafe & Steakhouse, The Telegraph by Olivia & Co., Mirai Robatayaki & Sushi Restaurant, Cafe Carrera by Baker & Cook (inside Porsche Studio Singapore), Porsche Studio Singapore, 3 Coconut, British Indian Curry Hut, and Lantingxu Lanzhou Beef Noodles.
This promotion runs until 31 December 2026, so there’s plenty of time to fold it into your regular weekend routine.
A few terms worth knowing before you go: parking coupons are only valid at the property where they’re issued and can’t be used at other locations. You’ll need to redeem your coupon immediately upon billing at one of the participating stores above, while stocks last, and it’s one redemption per shopper per day. Other terms and conditions may apply, so it’s worth double-checking at the counter on the day.
Final Thoughts
Guoco Midtown and Guoco Midtown II prove that a great family day out doesn’t need an entry ticket — just good timing. Between the free treats, the playgrounds, the free parking perk, and a proper Children’s Day lineup on 4 October, this is an easy, low-cost weekend plan for families around the Beach Road area. Would we go back? Every Sunday, if the bubble machine has anything to say about it.
