Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

Marina Square is at the top of its game when it comes to impressive displays at their central atrium. After runs as a mini world of Alice in Wonderland, interactive lattice cubes and POP MART installations, the space is now a Hawaiian-themed beachscape made entirely out of balloons.

Sculpted over four days by six balloon artists, the display has over 180,150 balloons taking the form of giant sculptures.

You might be concerned about all that single-use plastic, but not to worry, the fun will be all guilt-free as these balloons are made from bio-degradable, 100% all natural latex.

It goes without saying that the 6,500 square foot space is filled with Insta-worthy spots from flamingo sculptures with deck chairs to a shark mouth tunnel, but there are also fun activities like Dart Balloon ($20 spend in a single receipt + $5) and a Wave Surfing Simulator ($5).

In this simulator game, participants will challenge themselves to see how long they can last "surfing" on a moving surf board. Those who manage to remain on the board past 2 minutes will get to continue the experience with gradually increasing difficulty for up to 4 minutes. The game is available from Monday to Thursday 2 to 8pm and Friday to Sunday  to  9pm.

If you'd rather enjoy the summery beach vibes in a less strenuous way, there are deck chairs and flamingo floats you can laze on.

At the heart of the exhibition is a massive, 13-metre tall Pineapple House that you can enter!
