Description :
Christmas Wonderland is returning for its second year on Saturday (Nov 28) at Gardens by the Bay. The fairgrounds have almost doubled since last year, with the entire area spanning 35,000 square metres from the entrance at the Golden Gardens, past the Supertree Grove and into The Meadows.
Visitors can expect an array of attractions, including the brand new Fairgrounds at The Meadow, where they can zip down the tallest slide in Singapore standing at 14 metres, or take a spin on Swinging Chairs that offer a 360-degree panoramic view of the Gardens. There is also a carousel, an Ice Palace and a skating rink.
Christmas Wonderland will also see returning attractions such as the Festive Market at the Supertree Grove. The 21-metre Spalliera inside the market is the tallest light sculpture on the festival grounds. Inside, visitors can experience snow blizzards at least three times a day. They will also be treated to festive-themed choir and theatrical performances.
The Spalliera is one of the 56 Italian Luminaries light installations that stud the festival grounds. The light sculptures will be on display until Jan 3 next year. Market activities, however, conclude on Dec 27.
Over at the Flower Dome, visitors can also catch the debut of the Christmas Toyland Floral Display until Jan 5 next year. It features a pyramid decked in toys among lush flora.— Source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/gardens-by-the-bay-to/2240556.html

DWFFinSg’s Reviews
DWFFinSg was really excited to visit ‘The Future of Us’ exhibition.
Snapshots!
Overall, it took us about an hour to go through the exhibition.
A pity that it was drizzling, and we got to give the-kinetic-energy-playground a miss.
