- Lazy Sunday Brunch – Think fluffy pancakes, mimosa rain, and a playlist that’s louder than your neighbor’s lawn mower.

3. New, Great and Happy: The Amusement “Worlds” of Singapore
Step Back in Time: Singapore’s Lost Amusement “Worlds” Come Alive
Ever wondered what Singapore’s amusement parks looked like before the era of giant theme‑park chains? The National Museum of Singapore has pulled out the big guns and created an exhibit that brings the New, Great, and Happy Worlds to life—yes, the very parks that once tickled kids’ imaginations and now are nothing but history.
Why These Parks Matter
- A New World attraction in the 1950s that could rival any today‑day VR experience.
- A Great World that rubbed shoulders with the local workforce and families alike.
- A Happy World (later Gay World in 1964), a nostalgic hotspot that sealed the hearts of generations.
Each of these places disappeared after a brief but glorious run, but the museum’s exhibit is here to keep the fun alive. Get your curious brain gang ready for a journey filled with fascinating stories and anecdotes.
Live Re‑Creation: Uncle Ringo’s Mini Amusement Park

- Roller coaster nostalgia all the way round.
- Game booths that pop with prizes.
- And baby‑friendly rides for the little ones.
Make sure you pre‑book tickets—this little playground fills up fast like a dessert platter at a family reunion.
When It’s Open
Events run from December 4, 2021 to January 9, 2022. Grab your family keys, don’t miss the opportunity, and let the past mingle with the present for a truly unforgettable trip.
