Zoolympix: Stars of Mandai Festive Challenge
At Zoolympix Village on the East Lawn, young contenders test their strength, agility and coordination across 10 challenges, each inspired by a different Star of Mandai. Players can swing from ring to ring like Ah Meng the orangutan, balance across beams like Karma the red panda, spot camouflaged okapis like Kisala, and protect a delicate egg like Arlo the king penguin. Along the way, they will discover how each animal's distinct adaptations help it survive in the wild. Challenges come in different difficulty levels for children aged three to 12, so there is something for every little adventurer.
Beyond the challenges, the Partners Zone at Zoolympix Village also offers games, partner-exclusive rewards and family-friendly activities throughout the event from AIA, Anywheel, Families for Life and POSB.
The fun continues at Zoolympix Outposts across all five wildlife parks, where guests can meet the real Stars of Mandai, take on bonus challenges and learn more about the animals that inspired the games.
Tickets to Zoolympix Village are now on sale at $20 each. WildPass holders enjoy complimentary access with any wildlife park admission purchase, while tourists can add Zoolympix Village to a Destination Pass at a special price, and receive shopping and dining vouchers. Zoolympix Outpost activities are included with regular park admission.
