Otah & Friends at Gardens by the Bay
Otters may typically be spotted at the Singapore Zoo or Bishan Park, but you can now find them at Gardens by the Bay as well. For some family-friendly fun, Otah & Friends is a limited-time pop-up that’s running till 26th February 2021 featuring a game of hide-and-seek with adorable otter plushies.
Brought in by the creators of The Bubble Tea Factory, El Masnou, expect nothing less than an aesthetic set-up filled with games and interactive photo-ops:
Update: The pop-up has been extended to run till 4th April 2021 with new photo ops, an easter egg hunt and lucky dip.

A meld between classic hide-and-seek and modern escape rooms, Otah & Friends takes you to Otah the otter’s home – but it’s not your usual housewarming affair. To spice things up, participants are tasked to look for their host by following breadcrumbs of clues that’ll lead to where he’s hiding in wait.

Curious folks will love the 45-minute-long task of rummaging through gorgeous pastel kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms in search of hints. While going through this mini-treasure hunt, don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers – or in this case, stop to snap some shots with the stunning IG-worthy backdrops. There are plenty of photo-ops around every corner!
