Spin around in a classic teacup carousel, board a Viking ship or ride around in a trackless train - these are some of the fun rides at the Singapore Sports Hub's Community Play Day this weekend.
Themed Good Ol' Wonderland, the quarterly sports carnival aims to evoke memories of Wonderland Amusement Park, a theme park that was situated at the present site of the Singapore Sports Hub in the late 1960s to 1980s.
Entry is free, though you need to buy coupons to go on the rides and play traditional carnival games such as fishing and ping-pong.
Young ones will enjoy attractions such as a bubble playground, where a bubble show will be held tomorrow at 7.15pm and on Sunday at 3pm.
Other highlights include the Glowing Zumba workout, where participants are daubed in glow-in- the-dark paint. Sessions start at 8pm on both days and are held at the OCBC Arena Hall 1.
Veteran local boxer Syed Abdul Kadir, 69, will be going to the carnival this weekend to reminisce about his teenage memories of the original Wonderland Amusement Park.
