Free trial classes and ice-cream at The Kidz Academy education fair this weekend

SINGAPORE - The annual Kidz Academy education fair is back for a seventh year, with a line-up that features stage performances, carnival games and trial classes for both parents and children.

The fair will take place from June 5 to 7 this year, from 11am to 9pm at Suntec Singapore Halls 403 to 405. Admission is free.

Visitors can also expect meet and greet sessions with cartoon characters like The Minions, who played supporting roles in the animated blockbuster Despicable Me.

There will also be bumper cars, train rides and even a bungee trampoline. A ZooMoov zone offers an animal ride and the challenge of scaling a rock climbing wall.

Other mini activities include friendship bracelet making, colouring workshops, as well as an inflatable playground and photobooth.

Parents and children can also try out a diverse range of trial classes with no strings attached. Some topics offered are public speaking for kids, and hip hop dance classes.
