F1 Lego fun, Deepavali-themed activities, Malay singing contest
Make family time all the more special with these ideas and activities.
Experience: Lego Technic McLaren Formula One race car
Now your kids can experience what it is like to be in the driver’s seat of a McLaren Formula One race car – well, almost.
Till Sunday, hop into a life-size Lego Technic replica of the vehicle in front of Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza for a photo opportunity.
It measures 5.7m in length and 2.4m in width, and was created using 288,315 Lego bricks. This is the first time it is being showcased in South-east Asia.
In addition, your family can take part in activities at three interactive stations.
For instance, try your hand at completing a half-assembled 42141 Lego Technic McLaren Formula 1 Race Car set – in the fastest possible time – and receive a Lego mini figure upon completion.
British Formula One driver Lando Norris will also make an appearance at the pop-up on Wednesday.
