To walk off your scrumptious meal, spend some precious time with Dad and take a slow walk or leisurely cycle around The Oval @ Seletar Aerospace Park.
As you walk around The Oval, spot the conserved bungalows which were previously used by the British Royal Air Force. Now preserved and refurbished, these bungalows will be leased out and used for an array of exciting retail and amenity options.
Aviation enthusiasts can head over to the boardwalk, located right next to the Seletar Airport runway that was previously part of a military airport. You can bond with your dad while watching planes take-off and land at the runway and docks!
Now that you are well-rested, it’s tea time! Drop by Wildseed Café & Bar for freshly-baked cakes, luscious pastries and delicious sandwiches. Adopting a farm-to-table concept, Wildseed uses herbs and flowers from its edible garden onsite to garnish their dishes. Coupled with the verdant surroundings of Seletar Aerospace Park, this is the perfect place to lounge around and chat with your family over a cup of coffee and some dessert.

As the sun sets and the day draws to a close, head over to Wheeler’s Estate for a wholesome and flavourful dinner with your family. Located within a two-storey colonial bungalow, Wheeler’s Estate provides customers with a wide variety of food choices. If you prefer a lighter and more casual dinner, grab some mats and a basket of snacks at The Lawn, and have a picnic out on the field. Chill out in the evening under the fairy lights and with the live bands playing — The Lawn is definitely the place to grab some Instagram-able photos and build precious memories.
If you are craving something more filling, dig into some charcoal-grilled meats and burgers at the Grill House, or head to the second level of Wheeler’s Estate for an Australian feast at The Verandah. Regardless of your choice, Wheeler’s Estate will provide the perfect atmosphere for chilling and bonding with your family.
