Our secondary school lit classes were spent reading books like The Little Prince – we can’t deny that this particular story holds an unspoken air of magic. For fans of the heartfelt storyline, head down to Junction 8 from 26th August – 1st September 2019.
With picturesque rose gardens, a sunset playroom, and glow-in-the-dark installations, Escape to the Stars is a The Little Prince-inspired event that makes for a fun day out for all. Throw in a little shopping spree, and you might just walk away with exclusive merch as well.
Here are the highlights to look forward to:
As an exclusive to TSL readers only, there’s also a The Little Prince character quiz – once done, you can take a photo with your character at the event, after which you’ll stand a chance to be one of 20 lucky readers to take home specially-themed merch.
Backdrops are essential to the perfect Insta-post, and any pictures taken at the Rose Garden will definitely add that much-needed class to your IG feed. It’s replicated after the garden where The Little Prince and The Fox first met!
When strolling down the rose tunnel, your friends might even think you’ve made a visit to Seoul’s legendary rose tunnel.
Sunsets are fleeting – we’ve all rushed to take pictures of a sunset, only to find that the vibrant colours have faded to dusk and the sun’s almost ebbed below the horizon. That won’t be the case over at Sunset Minutes, because you can admire as many sunsets as you like – it’s on repeat in this themed playroom!
Stargazing in Singapore is a tad difficult considering that our night sky is almost void of any twinkling lights. But over at the Night Room, treat yourself to endless glowing illustrations and excerpts that will light up your night.
You’ll also find big inflatable balls that you can play with. It’ll change colour with every touch – perfect to inject a little light and colour to your day.
We’ve seen our fair share of romantic glamping set-ups, and to experience a similar touch of glamour, stop by The Rose. There’s a massive centrepiece of a rose, symbolising the Prince’s quest in understanding love. This glamping ground is open to all, so you can drop by whenever you like and while away the afternoon in this outdoor Insta-worthy space.
Singaporeans love two things – shopping and free things. And for the best of both worlds, simply hit a minimum spend of $180* anytime between now – 30th September 2019 and you’ll score Cozy Day Dream Collectible Sets^ – a 2-in-1 cushion and blanket set featuring The Little Prince prints.

The Little Prince is a classic piece of literature, but for some, it’s also a nostalgic symbol representing our childhood. To experience The Little Prince in the flesh, simply swing by Escape To The Stars at Junction 8 from 11AM to 9PM between 26th August – 1st September 2019.
To step into this enchanting space, all you have to do is head down to Junction 8 and spend $50 within 3 receipts. You can then make your way over to the main atrium at Level 2 to redeem your event pass.
There are plenty of other activities to look forward too – like a professional balloon artist who’ll be around at 1PM and 7PM and a merch shop offering an array of The Little Prince-inspired decor.
TSL readers will also stand a chance to bring home special merch. Simply take the character quiz here, snap a pic with your character at the event, and send the photo over to Junction 8 on Facebook*.
