Looking for somewhere to bring your little ones this week? Here are our top picks of things to do in the week ahead and it’s full of events for everyone in the family.
Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder
We think that little ones will enjoy time spent in the Relativity Room aspect of the Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder exhibition at the ArtScience Museum, where their illusions of size and space will be distorted. If that doesn’t cut it for them, no worries, the vibrant, engaging colours will definitely keep children entertained and are a great introduction into the cultural sophistication that is the appreciation of art. if you head down on 20 January 2017, as part of Family Fridays, there will be a Make Your Own Tessellation Prints workshop where kids can draw inspiration from Escher’s tessellation artworks to make their own print for just S$3.
Venue: ArtScience Museum
Date: Now till 26 February 2017
Time: Daily from 10am to 7pm; Last admission is at 6pm

And it’s not just for the adults; the whole family can join in the fun together by taking part in the non-competitive 2.5km and 5.5km family runs. This year’s theme ‘Run for Wildlife’ focuses on educating the public on wildlife conservation and all participants will be asked to join teams led by the Zoo’s mascots: Ah Meng the Orangutan, Chawang the Asian Elephant, Canola the Manatee and Sunny the Hornbill, who each represent an endangered species. They will then be tasked with the duty of raising awareness for them in various ways, such as an Instagram contest.
