Sprint into the festive season at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve with Zoolympix: Stars of Mandai Festive Challenge, returning bigger than ever from 7 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. This year’s edition expands across the precinct, where families can participate in immersive challenges inspired by the remarkable abilities of the Stars of Mandai, which feature iconic animal personalities at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Families can participate in immersive, wildlife-inspired challenges and activities that let them play, discover and connect with wildlife in fun new ways. Running alongside Zoolympix, Wild Side, Best Side: A Wilder Christmas Awaits adds to the festive cheer, inviting guests to dine, shop, create and explore the public spaces across the precinct.

At Zoolympix Village on the East Lawn, young contenders test their strength, agility and coordination across 10 challenges, each inspired by a different Star of Mandai. Players can swing from ring to ring like Ah Meng the orangutan, balance across beams like Karma the red panda, spot camouflaged okapis like Kisala, and protect a delicate egg like Arlo the king penguin. Along the way, they will discover how each animal’s distinct adaptations help it survive in the wild. Challenges come in different difficulty levels for children aged three to 12, so there is something for every little adventurer.

Beyond the challenges, the Partners Zone at Zoolympix Village also offers games, partner-exclusive rewards and family-friendly activities throughout the event from AIA, Anywheel, Families for Life and POSB.

The fun continues at Zoolympix Outposts across all five wildlife parks, where guests can meet the real Stars of Mandai, take on bonus challenges and learn more about the animals that inspired the games.
