On the list of what to do this week, there is not one but three different carnivals with two involving brightly coloured inflatables that the kiddos will absolutely love. For fans of the popular series, Pokemon Go Safari Zone is back after a two year hiatus at Gardens by the Bay with lots of limited-edition in game elements not to be missed. Check out these exciting family-friendly events as we countdown to the last month of the year.
Kiztopia is back with its crowd favourite inflatables, this time in colourful candy and dessert-themed bouncy castles that will take place at the mall’s Outdoor Plaza. Occupying over 8,600 square feet of outdoor space, the event will feature five yummy-licious giant inflatables such as Bell’s Chocolatier Cafe, Tiger’s Donut Joint and even a life-sized gingerbread man cookie at Happy’s Gingerbread House. Take cool family pictures for the ‘gram against the inflatables or opt to have fun with falling snow at the Christmas Lights & Snow Play sessions.
