Discover Asian Treasures this June—No Kids, No Problem!
Even if you’re not ready for a family adventure yet, you can still whisk the kids to see some of the world’s most iconic landmarks during the June holidays.
Why Gardens by the Bay? The Kids’ Festival Is Calling!
The “Around the World with Kiztopia” festival at Gardens by the Bay is a must‑visit. Picture this: eight colossal inflatable wheels, each one a different country, floating around the park. It’s like a carnival tour around the globe, but in the sky!
What’s on the Menu?
- Eight giant inflatables representing Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, and the U.K.
- Two interactive zones bursting with crafts and games—think a DIY passport passport or a fun-filled karaoke corner.
Just imagine your little ones hopping from one balloon to the next, feeling like globetrotters without leaving Singapore.
Mark Your Calendar!
From 28 May to 19 June 2022, the festival will be on full swing. Grab your tickets early; the fun will be too good to miss!
So, whether you’re chasing family moments or just want to watch the kids jet‑set around the park, this holiday event promises smiles, giggles, and a pinch of international flair.
Specially-designed inflatable installations
Meet the Sky‑High Kiztopia Friends
Picture this: your favourite Kiztopia pals, each decked out in their own gigantic hot‑air balloon, soaring over the world’s most iconic sights. From the vibrant streets of Singapore and Australia to the serene landscapes of Japan, the bustling plains of Kenya, the bustling markets of Thailand, and even the historic charm of The Netherlands—they’re all strapping in for a ride that’s as wild as it is whimsical.
Iconic Landmarks on Their Ropes
- Mount Fuji – Catch a sunrise with the Japanese mountain as your backdrop.
- Sydney Opera House – Perfect for a boomerang that ties in Aussie nightlife.
