Global Village’s “The Wonderers’ Kids Fest” is back and better than ever

Global Village, the region’s leading multicultural family destination for entertainment, shopping, dining, and attractions, announced today the return of “The Wonderers’ Kids Fest”. The seasonal celebration, now a staple on the Global Village calendar, will welcome young guests for 45 days of outdoor fun and games from Friday, 9 January to Sunday, 15 February 2026. Activities will take place daily from 4PM until 10PM, offering families the perfect opportunity to enjoy the cooler weather and spend quality time together.

Located next to the Kids’ Theatre, The Wonderers’ Kids Fest continues to be a dedicated space designed for children aged between 3 and 12. Included in the purchase of the Global Village entry ticket, the event brings an exciting mix of interactive and educational experiences without any additional charges.

This season, the festival will begin with a special drone show at 7:20 PM on Friday, January 9 to mark the start of the fun. Families can look forward to an engaging lineup of games that encourage teamwork, strategy and friendly competition.

Younger guests can once again enjoy the giant Snakes and Ladders board game, a previous Guinness World Record title holder; alongside the thrilling and tactical Giant Battleship game, and the popular life-sized 4 in a Row game. The space will also feature two installations of different sizes of Giant Stack’Em for both older children and younger, a supersized version of the balancing game that remains a favourite among guests.

In addition to the headline games, families will discover a variety of cheerful touches throughout the area, from free face painting and balloon modellers to inflatable clown parades and lively bubble blizzards. Guests can also look forward to a number of character meet and greet moments with The Wonderers, Global Village’s mascots, along with small giveaways for children participating in the activities. 

The Wonderers’ Kids Fest at Global Village continues to bring families together through activities and exploration, adding to the destination’s commitment to creating joyful experiences for its youngest guests as it continues to deliver “A More Wonderful World” for all.
