South Asia’s own winter wonderland, the Snow City Singapore, declared open its first ever ice sculpture gallery in December 2012. The first gallery that was included was the Dino World along with the Ice gallery. While enjoying the vibrancy of Singapore, if you are looking for a White Christmas experience that lasts all year around, even if it’s 30 degrees outside, head on over to this newly opened theme park and bask in snow-themed fun.
There are more than 20 intricately worked ice sculptures within the newly opened Dino World created by celebrity sculptor Jeffrey Ng, a talented ice artist who has represented Singapore on the international stage for over 20 years. The impressive ice sculptures are set against the backdrop of a waterfall that looks straight out of an artist’s imagination. These sculptures have been created over a span of three weeks, using more than 500 blocks of ice, each weighing about 130 Kilos.
Other facilities at Snow City are the Snow Chamber, the merchandise shop and the photo-taking services. Another favourite are the corporate team bonding programmes that offer excitement for adults and other special events offered throughout the year. Snow City also serves as a wedding venue for couples seeking a white-themed wedding.
Dino World sculptures are great for family photos and kids especially love the gallery as it features a range of exciting dinosaur sculptures. The ice slides are a favourite among young visitors and keep them busy sliding to their hearts content in the freezing cold temperatures. The journey to Dino World is also a very informative one as visitors can read the details displayed of the dinosaurs that have been sculpted here.
