EMBARK ON A WHIMSICAL JOURNEY OF LIGHTS AT VIVOCITY!
Journey down the rabbit hole for a glimpse into an illuminated world of
curious adventures this Mid-Autumn!

Singapore, August 2019 – Get ready for a whirlwind adventure this Mid-Autumn at VivoCity as we take you into Wonderland where a dazzling spectacle of lanterns await at the Sky Park!

“This Mid-Autumn, we put a modern twist to tradition by transforming VivoCity’s rooftop Sky Park into a wondrous lantern display, inspired by the tales of Alice in Wonderland. These large-scale, colourful handcrafted lanterns measure up to 10m tall and will light up against the night sky to create the perfect backdrop for a memorable Mid-Autumn reunion with family and friends,” says Gwen Au, Vice President for Marketing Communications, Mapletree Commercial Property Management. “Taking things up a notch this year, shoppers can also engage with animated characters in an augmented reality hunt when they visit, and stand a chance to win attractive prizes.”

The experience takes shoppers through 5 whimsical zone loosely based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – starting from a journey down the rabbit hole, a rendezvous at the Mad Hatter’s tea party, a close-up encounter with the Queen’s card soldiers and finally meeting the Red Queen herself at a towering castle made of lanterns!

VIVOCITY’S CURIOUS ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND

Down the Rabbit Hole

“Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” exclaimed the White Rabbit, nervously checking his pocket watch. Step through a larger-than-life storybook to enter the curious world of VivoCity’s Wonderland. Hurry along with the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole and experience a whirl of glittering lights and mind-bending illusions, can you feel yourself growing bigger the further you go?

A Mad Tea Party

There’s no time to wait – grab a seat as the Mad Tea Party is about to begin! On a 5m long illuminated table decked out with a spread of colourful desserts and tableware, surrounded by the Hatter’s best chairs, be amazed by a lantern teacup stack piling precariously into the air! You mustn’t miss the chance to snap away and strike a pose at this quirky tea party.

Tunnel of Soldiers

Onward to the Red Queen’s castle we go! March down the 40m long tunnel of roses illuminated by sparkling lights and guarded by the Queen’s trusty soldiers. Be careful with her precious roses – we hear the Queen is not one to be trifled with.

Pool of Cards

Enjoy a moonlit view of the card soldiers taking over our waterscape as they put up brightly coloured, glowing lanterns in the water to humour the Queen.

The Queen’s Castle

Complete your journey to Wonderland and seek an audience with the Red Queen in her majestic castle. Made completely out of handcrafted lanterns, this 10m tall whimsical castle is adorned in the Queen’s favourite colours inviting all to step in as she welcomes her guests in full regal splendour.

“These intricately designed pieces were painstakingly created by a group of more than 50 artisans over a period of 30 days. More than 6,500 electric lamps and 5,500m of fairy lights were used to illuminate these large scale luminaires in order to bring-to-life VivoCity’s Wonderland,” says Gwen Au. “The displays are a larger-than-life representation of the tradition of lighting lanterns during the Mid-Autumn festival, and we hope shoppers of all ages will enjoy them with their loved ones to create a memorable experience in VivoCity.”
