Uncle Ringo iLight Carnival at the Bay Review

#Sponsored

If you were born in Singapore from the 1980s, you would probably have heard of Uncle Ringo and his carnival games. Along your growing up years, you may had been to one of this carnival in your neighbourhood pasar malam. From bumper cars to mini pirate ships, this travelling amusement park was the poster child for the theme park that Singapore never had before Universal Studios came to town.

Uncle Ringo is still growing strong and celebrated more than 30 years of being in the carnival business since 1984. This week, they will bring the travelling amusement to the heart of Marina Bay in conjunction with i Light Marina Bay. It will set up shop at the Bayfront event  space between MBS and the Marina Bay City Gallery from now to 27 March.
If you think Uncle Ringo is just a brand name, think again.
Say hi to Mr Ringo Lee, the man behind the Uncle Ringo brand of fun.

For those who still do not know what Uncle Ringo is all about, here is a little guide.

Kids Rides
It is about amusement for kids!

 Some of the notable rides include the unique Helter Skelter slide and the bright and colourful carousel.

For younger kids, the trackless choo choo train will surely entice them.

As for the boys , a few rounds around the swing will always bring a smile on their face.
Family Rides

Uncle Ringo carnival rides are not only for kids, adults will enjoy having a go at it too.

From the docile Tea Cups to the scary Journey of Thrills, bumper cars  and the Legendary Meteorite, there are rides that suits the young and old.

Amusement games

Rides are not the only hit in Uncle Ringo.

Not when you can win a plushie from the amusement games. Pit your basketball skills, pitching skills and accuracy to win a prize.

It is a myth that you cannot win at Carnival games as we had witness.

Even The Wacky Duo had a go at it and won Baymax!

To play the games, get your top up cards from the ticket booth. You can buy the prepaid $20 or $50 card. Each ride and games cost from $5 onwards. So check the price first and purchase the right card that you need.

Singapore's own version of the fame Luna Park  will surely add glitter to i Light Marina Bay and make the event more family friendly.


Operating Hours (Till 27 March)
6:00pm - 10:30pm (weekdays)
