Explore the Inside Out 2 Singapore festival
The festival promises a journey through the world of emotions, with interactive installations inspired by your favourite characters from “Inside Out 2”. Also unleash your inner child on the “Mood Swings” inspired by Joy, or get creative with water brush doodles at the “Expression Doodles” station, channelling Sadness and Embarrassment. Feeling courageous? Navigate the Emoticon Mirror Maze and conquer the Anxiety-inspired buzz wire activities. And for those seeking a more relaxed experience, you can chill out and build pillow fortresses at Fort Pillowtown, inspired by the character Ennui.
The “Kaleidoscope of Memories” installation puts you at the centre of the action. Scan a QR code to create your own personalised memory orb, selecting the character that best reflects your emotions and uploading a photo. Your memory orb will also be projected alongside others on a giant animated wall, becoming part of the festival’s vibrant tapestry.
The fun doesn’t stop there! Witness a special edition of the nightly Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, featuring “The Medley of Emotions” soundtrack. The show also synchronises the illumination of the Supertrees with the iconic tunes from “Inside Out”. And for the movie buffs, the first two weekends of the festival will also feature free outdoor screenings of classic Disney and Pixar films like Coco, Elemental, Finding Dory, and Incredibles 2.
