Believe it or not, an exciting new adventure awaits for pet owners and their canine companions in the form of the newly unveiled 4 Paws @ Ice Magic!

You heard that right — you’ll be able to frolic in the snow together with your pup over two weekends: 13–14 and 20–21 January 2024, marking the first-ever experience of its kind on the island. I mean, how often do dogs, especially breeds like huskies, samoyeds, and golden retrivers, get to experience winter in sunny Singapore?

Pet owners and their dogs can enjoy gliding down the 5-lane Mini Ice Slide, hop on to Singapore’s first Merry-Go-Round on Ice, or gracefully glide along the majestic 300sqm Ice Rink, hand-in-paw.

Of course, no pet outing is complete without lots of photo-taking, so feel free to snap as many shots as you can against the backdrop of Wooden Cottages surrounded by real snowfall, as well as the mesmerising glacial art featuring igloo sculptures, enchanting illuminated icicles and more.

There’s no better time to make un-fur-gettable memories with your four-legged friends!

But of course, the entire space is covered in real snow after all, so paw parents must ensure that their dogs are dressed warmly and protected against the cold. Medium-sized furry friends are also recommended to wear dog shoes for extra grip and cold protection.

In order to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all visitors, all dogs must wear diapers (for females) or belly bands (for males).

Additionally, every dog must be on a leash, securely held by an adult, and under supervision at all times.

Tickets for 4 Paws @ Ice Magic can be purchased for sale via Matchtic or Peatix on a first-come-first-served basis and should be secured ASAP due to extremely limited ticket quantities. Paw-kages are also available, with all details available on ticketing sites.

Please note that dog tickets and paw-kages can only be secured through online purchases, with no walk-ins allowed.

There are three sessions available on all four days with specific time slots for dogs of different sizes and breeds, so keep the following in mind:

• Session 1 (10am–12.45pm): Large Breed Dogs (e.g. Golden Retriever, Alaskan Malamute, Samoyed, Husky)
• Session 2 (1pm–3.45pm): Small–Medium Breed Dogs (e.g. Poodle, Corgi, Border Collie, Bichon Frise, French Bulldog)
• Session 3 (4pm–6.45pm): Small–Medium Breed Dogs

So, if you didn’t manage to visit anywhere cold this holiday season, there’s no better time treat yourself and your furbabies to a walk in the winter wonderland at Ice Magic!

Ready for a paw-tastic good time?

The post Pet owners can now bring their furry friends to Ice Magic: Winter Wonderland for the first time ever this January 2024 appeared first on Confirm Good.

Who would’ve thought we’d be able to experience snow in sunny Singapore. The popular pop-up winter playground, Ice Magic: Winter Wonderland, is back! It’s time to whip out your winter coats, lace up your boots and get ready for some snow sports, throwing snowballs, and of course enjoying the nice cold temperatures. 

Taking place from 9 December 2023 to 21 January 2024, at the Bayfront Event area, this year’s edition of Ice Magic promises to be larger and more enchanting than ever. The entire area spans over 3,000 square metres with a host of snow activities. And in case you’re wondering, yes, it is real snow (and super cold). 

It’s winter so of course we have to do some winter sports. Hop onto Singapore’s first-ever Merry-Go-Round on ice and embrace the cool winds as you spin around the carousel. In case you’re wondering, no you won’t be sitting on ice blocks. Instead, you’ll be seated on rubber tubes. 

Now here’s where things get a little more exciting. Ice Magic will also feature Singapore’s longest snow slope spanning a whopping 98 metres in length and 6.5 metres in height — if you’re looking for something to get your adrenaline pumping, this is it. 

If you only have enough courage to go down one slide, you have to go for the snow slope. You’ll be racing down a snowy slope on a rubber tube. And no, We’re not kidding when we say racing. You’ll be sliding down super fast with occasional turns along the way (depending on how you’re seated). 

If you’re too scared to do this alone, you can always drag a friend along, and going down with a friend is so much more fun. You’ll go down at a much faster pace plus if you scream, at least you won’t be screaming alone.  

You definitely have to try the Double-Lane Couple Ice Slide that will send you racing down a slope filled with twists and sharp bends. There’s two lanes so why not make a race out of it? Winner gets bragging rights (don’t quote me on that)!

Trust me when I say this that you will get hooked on this ride. If you find yourself going down this ice slide multiple times, that’s completely normal because we totally did that (we went down at least five times and still couldn’t get enough of it). 

There’s also a five-lane Mini Ice Slide that lets you challenge your whole family or squad of friends. Don’t underestimate the length of this slide, it may be short but it will still send you a rush of adrenaline. 

Of course, there are plenty of photo spots spread across the entire area, so make sure you get your cameras and poses ready. 

You know what else would be great in this cold? Hot chocolate. Make sure to grab yourself a free cup of hot chocolate that will definitely warm your cold soul. Plus it’s super comforting and chocolatey. 

Another way to keep warm is to head out and explore the free-to-enter Winter Food Village, and fill your tummies while you’re at it. The winter food village features over 10 winter-themed kiosks offering dishes from Swiss Rosti to spiced mulled wine, Mala in a Cup, Thai street food, and even shaved ice (if you’re not cold enough from the snow inside) more. 

After all that cold in the snow area, some spicy Tteokbokki with Kimari (S$9.90) sounded absolutely superb to me. Top up an additional S$1 for some cheese (which you bet I did). The sweet and spicy tteokbokki really warmed me right up and reminded me of my winter trips to Korea. 

I don’t know how many of you remember Chippy’s but boy was I happy to see their booth here. I loved their Sausage and Mash (S$18) and it definitely brought me back to my childhood. 

You cannot leave without catching the Enchanted Nights Lights at Ice Magic which takes place at the last hour of each session. The entire ice rink will be transformed into a romantic winter wonderland illuminated by colourful Arctic winter lights. Cue Frozen II’s official soundtrack “Into The Unknown”. 

Visitors with their own winter gear can skip the queue, but not to worry, as there’ll be complimentary rentals of winter jackets and snow boots available on a first-come, first-served basis, alongside winter gloves and socks that can be purchased on-site. Still, you’ve got to be dressed warmly and in long pants if you don’t want to freeze your butts off.

If you’re not going anywhere cold this holiday season, treat yourself to a walk in the winter wonderland at Ice Magic! Plus, it is the perfect place for those looking to recreate their Frozen “Let It Go” moment.

The post Ice Magic: Winter Wonderland 2023 returns to Marina Bay with snow and ice slides, a merry go round, winter food village & more appeared first on Confirm Good.

While a slightly more chilly day on our sunny island is enough to warrant a super shiok hot pot session — nothing can really beat having this warm, bubbling and brothy meal in the real cold. I’m talking subzero temperatures, snow, all that wintery jazz. And guess what — now we can actually enjoy that experience in Singapore.

Thanks to Ice Magic: The Great Fantasy on Ice’s collaboration with the famous hot pot franchise Haidilao, you can now experience having hot pot in the middle of a winter wonderland without leaving our sunny island until 29 January 2023. 

This will be Haidilao’s first ever pop-up event in Singapore, where you’ll be able to enjoy two different sets with some of their signature menu items — the Hi Magic Beef set and Hi Magic Pork set. Other than the choice of meats, the other ingredients are pretty much standardised with cheese tofu, sliced fish, chicken, assorted vegetables and sliced fish. 

And here’s something to level up the experience — instead of the usual tables and chairs, you’ll be dining on ice stools and tables (don’t worry about sitting directly on the ice, there’ll be cushions placed on the seats to keep you warm and snug!). 

If you’re not up for hot pot, there’ll also be new additions to the winter playground like snowboarding and skiing lessons and activities so you can show off your skills during your next holiday (Swiss Alps or Hokkaido, maybe?). 

Ready for an unforgettable HDL sesh with your best friends and family? Check out Haidilao and Ice Magic’s Pop-Up now!
