Play: The World of Nickelodeon
Paw Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back at Marina Square, following their last visit in 2022.
At the mall’s indoor playground Let’s Play, your kids will have lots to explore at the various stations themed after the popular Nickelodeon cartoon characters.
They can help the Paw Patrol pups spray water at a “fire site” or complete their construction project by operating an “excavator”.
Over at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ play zone, challenge your kids to an obstacle course.
Sports enthusiasts can join the Dora Sports Club and enjoy rounds of archery, mini golf and basketball.
There are also meet-and-greet sessions with the beloved characters.
The World of Nickelodeon opens daily from 10am to 8.30pm until Jan 14, 2024.
Challenge your kids to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles obstacle course.

Grab a piece of paper and turn it into a puppet. Now, give it a personality with voice, movements and emotions.
In this free one-hour workshop conducted in Mandarin, mums and dads will learn creative ways to engage their little ones from Project Five Fingers. The collective aims to foster an appreciation for Chinese language and culture through puppetry.
More than playthings, puppets can also be tools to teach kids about emotions and fostering empathy.
Parents can learn puppetry skills that they can use at home with their kids at a free workshop organised by pre-schooler publication Thumbs Up Little Junior.
