The Fishing Experience at Jurong Play Grounds (beside Dig Dig Land) is a simple, hands-on activity where kids can catch fish, get a little wet, and feel very proud of themselves every time something lands in the net. Run by Nature Kindred, it is designed for families who want something outdoors, interactive, and different from the usual playground run.
It is especially nice because kids are not just watching from the side. They get their own bucket and fish net, they can catch as many fish as they can within the session, and they can choose whether to bring some fish home or redeem a prize instead. Very practical, because not every parent is emotionally ready to go home with live fish.
Funseekers’ Verdict
Go for a chill, hands-on fishing session with the kids. Great as a standalone weekend activity, or pair it with Dig Dig Land nearby for a fuller Jurong Play Grounds outing.
But as with all fishing – requires tons of patience.

Fishing Only Experience
The basic fishing ticket gives kids 60 minutes of fishing fun.
Each child gets a bucket and fish net, and they can catch as many fish as they can during the session. It is simple, but honestly, this kind of activity works because kids love the challenge of trying again and again.
Every catch feels like a tiny victory. Every missed fish becomes unfinished business.
At the end, bringing fish home is optional. Kids may take home up to 8 fish, or use the point card system to redeem a prize based on the fish not taken home.
Fishing + Mini Fish Tank DIY
The DIY fish tank option is a nice upgrade if you want the activity to end with something creative.
This ticket includes about 45 minutes of fishing and 15 minutes of hands-on fish tank DIY. Kids get a mini LEGO-style fish tank and materials to decorate it, including colored sand, colored rocks and a figurine.
If you do not want to bring real fish home, you can request a fake floating fish for the fish tank setup instead. Very good option for parents who want the memory without suddenly becoming fish owners.
Great For First-Time Fishing
This experience is nice for younger kids because it is not too complicated.
They are not using fishing rods or sitting around waiting quietly for a long time. It is more active and immediate: net, bucket, fish, try again. That makes it easier for kids to stay engaged, especially if this is their first fishing experience.
It is also a good parent-child activity because adults can help without needing to pay extra, up to 2 accompanying adults per child.
Bad Weather Notes
Light drizzle usually continues with raincoats, and raincoats are available for purchase on-site.
For heavy rain or thunderstorms, activities will pause for safety. If your child has attended more than 30 minutes, there is no reschedule, but a $10 voucher will be provided. If they attended less than 30 minutes, you can reschedule or move to the next available slot, subject to availability.
Pre-event rescheduling is allowed up to 1 hour before the event if rain is expected.
Pair It With Dig Dig Land
The fishing experience is located near Dig Dig Land, so it works really well as a second activity if you want a longer day out.
You can let the kids do construction-themed outdoor play first, then slow things down with fishing after. Or do fishing first and let them burn the rest of their energy at Dig Dig Land.
