Given the many things to do along Orchard Road, it’s no surprise that it is one of the most popular haunts amongst locals and tourists alike. Thrill junkies can get their adrenaline fix at joints like Trifecta, while those looking for something more chill can head over to places like ME Cafe & Games.
But if you’re looking for a kid-friendly activity, you’ll be glad to know that the Orchard Lunar Carnival 2024 is going on from now till 25th February. The whimsical rides will certainly entertain the little ones while the colourful game booths will evoke memories of classic arcades for the adults.
The carnival spans across the open walkway from Wisma Atria to Ngee Ann City.
It runs from now till 25th February 2024 and is open from 4.30pm-10pm on weekdays, and 3pm-10pm on weekends and public holidays.

While it might not necessarily share the sick views of scenic train rides in Asia, the Mini London Train is a leisurely, safe ride to amuse kids.
