This holiday, head down to the Children's Festival 2022 at Gardens by the Bay, and join Bell the Bear in welcoming our Kiztopia friends who have returned from their travels around the world and discover the wonderful memories they have to share. Embark on a fun learning journey with your complimentary activity booklet and get to bring home an exclusive sticker sheet when you complete the mission!

In addition to the photogenic inflatables that you can take unlimited photos with for FREE, there is a host of fun activities to complete the kids’ and families’ experience at the Gardens by the Bay Children’s Festival, this includes two ticketed interactive zones - Happy’s Craft World and Tiger’s Sports Arena

Hot-Air Balloon Inflatable Displays

Pricing: Free

You can expect eight specially-designed giant inflatables, measuring up to 12.5metres tall, take centerstage at Gardens by the Bay! Each inflatable features the iconic landmarks of the different countries, such as Mount Fuji in Japan, the Sydney Opera House in Australia and Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. 

Similar to the Children's Festival 2021, these inflatables for photo-taking and NOT bouncy castles, but two of the inflatables allow visitors to “board” the hot air balloon to take photos. 

Joining Tiger in Singapore are Happy the Hippo flying in from Australia, Eli the Elephant making his landing from Japan, Drago the Dragon flying in from Kenya, Mark the Monkey arriving from Thailand and Raby the Rabbit entering from the Netherlands. Each of them brings their best memories of the sights and delights of the country that they have travelled from to share with Singaporeans!

Pick up a complimentary activity booklet at the entrance or selected points at the venue that kids can use to discover interesting facts about each of the countries featured. They can collect stamps and hit milestones to redeem an exclusive sticker sheet upon completion of the mission.

Tips From Our Visit

We visited the Children's Festival on 28 May 2022 and below are some tips to share. 

• Come in the morning or evening: we went in the afternoon and it was crazily hot. We really advise coming in the morning (it opens at 10 am) or evening (it closes at 7 pm)
• Bring a hat, umbrella, fan: try to keep cool in your own way. 
• Pair it with something else to do: we visited the reopened Children's Garden after our visit, or you may want to stay behind to catch Garden Rhapsody, the light and sound show. 
• Bring water and food: the food hall is closed and there is only a water cooler in the area to top-up your bottles. No food options here. 
• The Monkey inflatable is at the entrance: to complete your stamp card, don't forget the Monkey inflatable at the entrance - seems to be the most "forgotten" one. 
• Be nice and share: there was no time-limit when we were on the "boardable" inflatables but just note that there are others waiting in queue, so be nice and don't take too long.

Overall, it was quite a good experience. The addition of inflatables that you can jump in also meant something for the kids to do too (compared to the previous year).
