Visit the Phantasiegarten by Play!
In partnership with Play!, this multi-sensory art space will be set amidst the park to provide fun activities for the young. Through art, express yourselves and unleash your creativity in four facilitated different areas from 1pm to 6pm on Saturday 19 August!
Let your imagination run wild and create your own version of Raffles Place Park with recycled cardboard and corrugated sheets in varying 3D forms. Express your creativity using unconventional recycled materials provided at the park such as ropes and textiles along with markers and paint.
Look to the stunning skyscrapers of Raffles Place to inspire young minds. Children can create models of Raffles Place and skyscrapers or can unleash their inner mural artist and paint or doodle on the cardboard model of key places in Raffles Place.
Of course, the fun is not just limited to the big kids! The little ones can engage in their own mini-play version at a dedicated baby play space. Equipped with simple and safe materials like markers, boxes and smaller wooden blocks, they can join in on the fun and set their creativity in motion.
Catch a Soul-ful Movie Screening
The fun continues even after the sun sets. From 6pm onwards on 19 August, gather your friends and family for a movie under the stars and kick your feet up in the oh-so-comfy Helinox chairs as you enjoy a screening of Soul (PG) – a comedic-drama animation film that is perfect for the little ones too. If you’re the first 50 members of the public to pre-register for the movie screening, you can grab the best seats in the house, along with 1-for-1 pasta vouchers from VIBE.
UNWIND with Us For The Rest of The Year!
Raffles Place is shedding its corporate façade for a fun family-friendly appeal this August and has much in store for the rest of the year. Look forward to upcoming editions of UNWIND @ Raffles Place with “Taste of Home” at Raffles Place up next in October. Follow @RafflesPlaceSG on socials for the latest updates.
