Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.

1. A Minion's Perspective Experience

If you're a fan of Illumination's Minions, you'll want to check out this new pop-up at Resorts World Sentosa. Arriving in Singapore for the very first time, A Minion's Perspective Experience is an interactive exhibition where you're invited to immerse yourself in the colourful world of the Minions.

The pop-up consists of eight thematic zones with various life-sized characters and thematic environments from the Despicable Me franchise, spread out across a space of over 1,400 square metres. You'll relive iconic scenes from the movies, test your skills in a variety of interactive games, design your very own fart gun in Gru's Lab, and much more.

3. A Flight to Remember @ Jurong Bird Park

ICYMI, Jurong Bird Park will be closing on Jan 3 next year and moving to its new home at Mandai. As a last hurrah to celebrate over 50 years of the park's rich legacy, you're invited to join your feathered friends at Jurong Bird Park for a series of macaw-some milestone festivities.

Take a trip down memory lane as you explore a self-guided Heritage Trail, then check out a 2D replica of the famous Panorail that once offered guests bird’s-eye views around the park and snap photos of your "trip". You can also check out a staff-curated trail for an insider's guide to secret spots and hidden gems in the park - including a special "staff-only" menu item at Hawk Cafe.
