iLight Marina Bay – Fun for the kids

If you still have not been down to the Marina Bay area, you really have to make your way there!

Yes! The Marina Bay area is not going to be the same for the next 3 weeks (up to 1 April 2012), as it has been transformed into a lighted magical wonderland.

And if you are wondering if there is anything to do for the kids…Well! Yes! there is!!!

We started our journey last weekend at the Marina Promenade area (Outside Stand Chart Building and next to NTUC Building).

Besides the food stall that lined the Marina Bay, there was a FREE Light Painting booth.

Basically, the crew will give you light torches, and standing against the Marina Backdrop,the cameraman will take a picture with a shutter delay.

This will  create a picture with light streaks, which they will email to every participant at the end of the day.

As you can see, we need some practise in this!

Another must-see attraction for the kids is the “Light of Merlion”. With hidden projection units, light is projected onto the Merlion, resulting in a multi-coloured Merlion, set against the picturesque bay area.

To make the project even more interactive, there is a touch screen panel, which dictates the colours of the Merlion.

The kids had great fun, as they saw their creations come to life. As expected, Nadine who loves the colour Pink, made a totally Pink Merlion!

Stay  tuned, as I blog more about the Marina Bay area in the coming weeks. But if you going down on the weekends, you can register for guided tours or take a look  at map of the bay over here.
