A trishaw ride in KidZania Singapore, how Kool is that?
The kids dressed up as early settlers of Singapore and it instantly made the boy look 10 years older, didn't it? The girls tried on a samsui headdress, held a mortar and pestle, and walked around on traditional clogs. They became coolies for a moment and went around delivering rice sacks. They also went on a fun trivia hunt to find out more about our country's rich history - did you know our national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, was chosen from among 40 flowers and this variety called "Agnes" was chosen in particular for its vibrant colours, hardiness and resilience?
From 16 March to 21 April, KidZania celebrates Singapore's progress and achievements at its inaugural KidZ & Heritage event, with activities that shine a spotlight on our nation's founding and development. Kids can look forward to highlights such as:

The kids might never understand the efforts and hardship our pioneers went through and for sure, they simply had fun playing and pretending. But it's a good start and spurs us to talk about more topics regading our culture, roots and history. Thanks to KidZania for having us at this awesome initiative!
