Children’s Festival 2023:
Nature’s Imaginarium

School’s out and Calvin the caterpillar is spending his June holidays visiting his friends at Gardens by the Bay from 10-25 June 2023!

A magical doorway has opened at the entrance to Supertree Grove: Step (or slide) through the mist and join Calvin on a fun day out in Nature’s Imaginarium! Follow Calvin on his quest to find his lost shoes and earn a reward, customise your own souvenirs at the free activities, or simply spend the day playing with and getting to know Calvin’s friends who live in the Gardens. And as the sun sets, lay your picnic mat to enjoy an outdoor movie screening among the Supertrees!
