This school holidays, families can look forward to a new attraction right here in Singapore. Spanning 4,600 square metres, the upcoming Curiosity Cove at Mandai Wildlife Reserve has been dubbed "Singapore's largest indoor nature-inspired playscape designed for children aged three to 12".

When it opens to the public on Nov 21, visitors can look forward to four nature-themed zones inspired by real-world ecosystems: Wetlands, Forestlands, Grasslands and Drylands. Each zone features interactive elements – both physical and digital.
