No matter how old we are, the sight of ball pits often ignite feelings of excitement – especially those of us who were sent to play at the mall’s playground during childhood while our mothers went shopping.
It’s time to revisit these memories at I12 Katong’s White Christmas Wonderland from 1 – 24 December, with their giant ball pit that even your most serious friends would be tempted to hop into. There’s also fun activities and performances to round up the most wonderful time of the year! Here’s what you can expect:
We’ll jump right into the highlight of the event – the Epic Christmas Ball Pit! Filled with 250,000 plastic balls, it beats the record for the largest ball pool in the Singapore Book of Records.
Ball pit for toddlers
The ball pit is divided into 3 sections: for adults, children, and toddlers, and each person gets 20-minutes of playtime. If you’re in need of a quick recharge after sliding down the slippery slopes or having ball fights with your friends, quench your thirst by redeeming a free Mango or Fruit Punch Slushy at the drinks booth!
You don’t have to feel paiseh about wanting to play – let your inner child take over as you slide in, making plastic-ball “snow angels” as you go. While you’re at it, keep an eye out for five special plastic balls – hunt these down and present them at the Concierge Counter to earn $10-$20 I12 Katong vouchers!
Time: 12PM-8PM
Venue: Atrium at L2
It doesn’t matter if you were naughty or nice this year – as long as you have luck on your side, your wishes may just come true. Tell Father Christmas your dearest wish by writing them down on “Santa’s Letter” – a postcard which can be collected from the Concierge Counter.
3 lucky senders will have their requests granted – whether it’s a new watch or wallet, and up to $1,000 worth!

There’s no better way to get into the spirit of Christmas than through festive songs and performances. From carolling to performances by Swee Lee Music, you will be entertained while you shop with these joyful tunes ringing in the background.
The tuneful segments are organized in collaboration with I12 Katong’s neighbouring schools and tenants, so head down to the L2 open space in front of Marco Polo for your Yuletide music fix!
