Five things to do this weekend (Jun 16-18)
Recharge this weekend with some wellness and physical activities, or indulge in good food and good art.
Spend this weekend celebrating Father’s Day, or unwinding with your loved ones. You can find inner peace at wellness activities, or sweat it out at some outdoor activities.
Here are five things to do this weekend (Jun 16-18):
1. Rejuvenate at the Wellness Experience Space
The Wellness Experience Space, held from Jun 17 to Jul 9, is a multi-sensory pop-up that features innovative installations.
This pop-up is part of the Wellness Festival Singapore which offers a lineup of wellness offerings to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
The installations include Active Arena, AMSR Wonderland, Mirror Scent Trail, Sound Bath Jamming, Masterclass Greenhouse, and a Wellness F&B Zone.
The Active Arena features an obstacle course that requires participants to balance on a slackline and swing across the course. Punching bags are also available for them to let loose.
The Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) noises can be created by playing with the textured cubes at the ASMR Wonderland.
Visitors can experience an “urban jungle” at The Mirror Scent Trail where the area is infused with three unique scents “representing the ebb and flow of daily life”.
At the Sound Bath Jamming activity, they can expect to practise a mix of sound bathing and music jamming.
Masterclass Greenhouse will also offer free mindful colouring activities over views of Marina Bay.
Visitors can also purchase food and drink at the Wellness F&B Zone.
The Wellness Experience Space is located at the Event Plaza at Marina Bay Sands. Open from Mondays to Fridays from 5:30pm to 10:30pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30am to 10:30pm.
