Here’s a look at the activities that you can look forward to at the Children’s Festival 2025 at Gardens by the Bay.
Great Ohana Wave Slide
Lilo & Stitch is set in Hawaii on the island of Kaua’i. One of the iconic scenes from the show has Stitch going surfing. Therefore, why not join in the fun and ride a wave at the Children’s Festival too?
The Great ‘Ohana Wave Slide is a fun ride where kids will have to climb up a set of stairs to reach the top of the almost seven-metre-high slide. They will have to don a safety helmet and hop on to an inflatable round float before they can go surfing down the 28-metre-long slide, carving their way around a supertree.
This highlight of Gardens by the Bay’s Children’s Festival is suitable for children between the ages of six to 12 years old. Lighter kids may find that they need an extra push midway down to make it to the bottom of the slide. Thankfully, the staff manning the slide are on hand to give a helpful push.
Forest of Belonging: An Inflatable Forest
“‘Ohana’ means family. Family means ‘no one gets left behind.'” Kids can discover the meaning behind Ohana at the Forest of Belonging.
This bouncy inflatable is inspired by Stitch’s journey of belonging and kids can explore the forest of inflatables on a mission to discover the true meaning of Ohana.
Space Adventure: Activate the Lights
Take an extraterrestrial inspired ride at Space Adventure. At this activity, kids can hop into a ride-on car.
Taking control of the car, they can swing the wheel back and forth to navigate it around to the mini “space beacons” where they will have to activate the light beams by pressing on buttons.
It is a fun activity where kids can race around to hit the buttons.
Mischief Makers: Get Creative
The fourth activity area at the Lilo and Stitch themed Children’s Festival is Mischief Makers. This is a beach-themed kinetic sand play area that encourages kids to engage in tactile, creative play.
Kids can make use of the moulds found in the sand to make their own creations.
Pick up a Children’s Festival 2025 Activity Booklet
You can also pick up a free Children’s Festival 2025 activity booklet. This is designed to complement the installations at the Supertree Grove.
