Family-friendly Christmas Activities at Changi Festive Village

T3 Underground Carnival & Dino Kart 3.0

Enjoy a blast to the past (and two steps into the future) at the T3 Underground Carnival! The carnival is divided into three sections – The Great World, The Modern World and The Future World – featuring more than 30 carnival rides, game booths and sheer holiday fun.

At The Great World, you’ll be transported back in time to the historical Tua Seh Kai Great World Amusement Park – fun fact: the real park closed in 1978! Full of nostalgic vibes, you’ll find old-school carnival games, Uncle Ringo rides, a heritage photo zone and even a “mama shop” selling old-school Singaporean snacks. Hidden in the corner of The Great World lies the World of Jellyfish, a first-in-Singapore installation where you can submerge yourself in and snap gorgeous pix of the fam with luminescent floating jellyfish!

Head to the carnival at The Modern World after to test your strength and luck at game booths like Ball the Clown and King Hammer, where your accuracy will be rewarded with larger-than-life plushies! There’s also a spacious 3D shooting gallery here, and you can sharpen your shooting skills using various maps, enemies and levels.

Still want more carnival fun? Make your way to The Future World to experience futuristic carnival vibes. Hop on the Wonder Wheels bumper cars if you’re feeling competitive, and go the extra mile and race to win the Dino Kart 3.0 circuit – the circuit opens on 10 November 2022! Expect neon lights, electrifying beats and views of Singapore’s best sights while you zoom away.
