There’s so much more to just giving and receiving gifts during the festive season. With the school holidays in full swing, treat yourself and your kids to some fun at KINEX mall.
From now till 26th December 2021, you’ll be able to redeem gift sets, free parking and cashback by spending at the mall. From getting manicures and massages in the name of self-care to playing arcade games and signing up for holiday classes for the younger ones, here are some new things to do at KINEX this Christmas season.
Unleash your inner 90s kid through arcade games at Tokyo Games Station (#B1-21). With old school games such as Street Fighter and The King of Fighters, it’ll be a blast to the past for you and the fam.
Ongoing promos:
The arcade also boasts a variety of activities ranging from $0.50 to $1.60 each play, like claw machines and Treasure Trove, a fishing game that’ll bring out your competitive side. Earn e-tickets while playing for a chance to redeem gifts ranging from little knick knacks to cute plushies and even a Nintendo Switch.
Getting a manicure might just be one of the best forms of self-care. You’ll get time away from the screen because your hands are occupied and you’ll also feel good about your new set of nails after the session. Wind down with mani-pedi at For Duchess, by Duke while waiting for your kids to finish their enrichment classes. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

If you’ve been wanting to get your nails done but never seem to have the time to, try out their one-step express gel manicure ($9.90), which will have you in and out in just about 10 minutes. Those who want a full-on manicure experience with cuticle care and dead skin removal thrown in, can opt for their classic gel manicure ($38).
The shop accepts walk-ins and appointments operates on an appointment-only basis so make sure you make a booking and secure your slot before heading down for a mani-pedi sesh.
Coding is an up and coming skill to have today, so no harm letting the kiddos start young.
The school holidays may be here but that doesn’t mean learning has to stop. Apart from enrichment classes in the usual Math and Sciences subjects, introduce your kids to coding through hands-on activities like building robots and through computing.
The Lab (#03-01) is a newly-opened coding school in KINEX that specialises in teaching coding to kids aged five to 16. From building coding robots with LEGO to grasping the Python programming language, kids can gain problem-solving and creativity skills to utilise in real-life situations.
Contact the outlet at 8488 7017 for more details on the courses available.
Relax with cupping therapy or foot reflexology

If you resonate with the aches and pains that come with running after the little ones, you’re in luck. Guang An TCM (#02-12) is a new Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic at KINEX that specialises in Chinese medicine and services like acupuncture, Tui Na massages and even fertility treatment.
Opt for cupping therapy (from $25) that utilises glass cups and suction to promote blood flow and remove “toxins” from your body or go for foot reflexology (from $39) to wind down after all that festive shopping. If you’re looking for a holistic massage to target your full body, Guang An TCM also offers full body massages (from $60).
