The June school holidays are officially here, and Gardens by the Bay has a treat that is as sweet as a pot of hunny! From 30 May to 21 June, the annual Children’s Festival returns to the Supertree Grove, and this year is extra special.
In celebration of the historic 100th publishing anniversary of A.A. Milne’s classic Winnie the Pooh stories, the iconic Supertrees are being transformed into Singapore’s largest outdoor playground inspired by the Hundred Acre Wood.
Best of all? Admission to the festival is completely free!
