Besides life-sized figurines of F1 drivers, there’s also a life-sized LEGO McLaren Race Car “parked” right in front of Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza where you can sit in the driver’s seat for a photo. You can even have the photo printed out at the LEGO Photo Print for free.

Part of the LEGO Technic McLaren F1 Pop-Up Experience, the pop-up has other activities such as challenges to build a half-assembled 42141 LEGO Technic McLaren F1 Race Car set and a memory game to learn more about the functions of the many buttons on the steering wheel.

It runs till Oct 2 and is open from 11am to 9.30pm.
