7 things to do on Father's Day
1. Ice-Skating
Here's a different plan.
Take your dad for an ice-skating escapade at the leisure park in Kallang along with the entire family.
It'll definitely be a fun experience especially if he hasn't tried ice-skating before. Wouldn't it be a nice change to see him take his first steps in the ring after he saw your first steps as a kid?

2. Lunch or dinner at Salt Grill & Sky Bar

3. Visit a wetland nature reserve
Take a walk through the stop-over point for migratory birds at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
