Get ready for inflatable fun this June holidays with Children's Festival — Around the World with Kiztopia. Be wowed by eight larger-than-life giant inflatables measuring up to 12.5m tall, all of which feature well-loved Kiztopia Friends arriving at Gardens by the Bay from various countries around the world in hot air balloons.

Each inflatable showcases an iconic landmark from its respective country, like Japan's Mount Fuji, Australia's Sydney Opera House and, of course, our very own Gardens by the Bay. You can even board a hot air balloon at two of the inflatables for your own IG-worthy travel experience.

In addition, the festival has two ticketed interactive zones where kids can unleash their creative juices via DIY craft activities such as scratch painting and 3D puzzle assembling, or burn off some energy with inflatables of sports carnival games, with a special prize to be won upon completion.
