100 Years of Winnie the Pooh Celebrated at Gardens by the Bay Children’s Festival with First Ever Zipline and Giant Inflatable Parade

The upcoming Children’s Festival at Gardens by the Bay is set to transform the Supertree Grove into a whimsical celebration marking 100 years of Winnie the Pooh, as Singapore hosts a major school holiday attraction inspired by the Hundred Acre Wood from 30 May to 21 June 2026.

Officially launched by Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry and National Development, the free festival is supported by the Singapore Tourism Board and Tote Board, and is held in support of National Family Festival 2026. The annual celebration encourages families to spend meaningful time together through interactive programmes, with weekend activities and game booths available throughout the festival period.

A major highlight this year is Singapore’s first Winnie the Pooh themed zipline, called The Hundred Acre Glide. Set within a treehouse inspired structure, children can soar 16 metres across the festival grounds with the Supertrees as a backdrop. Another standout is Pooh’s Grand Friendship Party, which will feature Southeast Asia’s first musical inflatable march of its kind, with giant character inflatables reaching up to seven metres tall, accompanied by performers, music and dance. The parade will take place twice every Saturday during the festival.

Visitors can also explore a series of themed play zones inspired by the beloved characters. The Sweetest Drops is a honeycomb themed ball pit inspired by Pooh’s love for honey, while The Brave Logs challenges children to test their balance across stepping planks and tree stump inspired obstacles. The Enchanted Meadows offers a calming play space with gentle see saws inspired by Eeyore, and The Joyful Puddles brings Tigger’s energetic spirit to life with trampoline style bouncing zones.

Beyond the installations, families can take part in the Hunny Collection activity trail, where visitors complete challenges across five-character stations to collect stamps and redeem exclusive sticker sheets. A themed retail pop up will also offer Winnie the Pooh inspired merchandise, alongside carnival games across the festival grounds with separate charges applicable.

Food themed experiences add another layer of fun with the Hunny Café Plush Pop Up, available on weekends. Visitors can select from a playful menu of plush inspired treats such as Hunny toast, bubble tea, Hunny lemon tea and fishball plushies before taking home their selected collectibles. Additional dining promotions will also be available at selected restaurants within the gardens.

Families visiting the festival can also enjoy extended perks across Gardens by the Bay during the school holiday period, including free admission for children aged 12 and below to the Blue Beauties floral display at the Flower Dome, as well as reserved viewing access for visitors with attraction tickets. Additional retail and dining discounts will also be offered at selected outlets.

All outdoor activities and installations are subject to weather conditions, with programme adjustments or cancellations communicated on site where necessary.
