Our theme this year is "Kids Run the World”, celebrating the limitless potential and boundless energy of all our young ones. That is why, in addition to the heartwarming run, we've put together five enchanting carnival worlds for you and your family to explore!
Recycle World: A city filled with “reduce, re-use, and recycle” themed exhibits, games, and activities. This world showcases all things sustainable and serves as an area for our kids to practise environmentally responsible habits.
Happy World: Step into our balloon city of dreams, where kids can be kids! Enjoy carnival activities, game booths, and craft workshops for endless fun – emphasising the value and joy of imagination and creativity.
Healthy World: Kids have unlimited energy, and we guide them on how to put it to productive use with healthy eating workshops, dexterity and fitness routines, and other wellness-promoting activities.
Nature World: Experience an up-close and hands-on reconnection to our world! Experience a terrarium workshop and explore how technology can future-proof our precious planet.
