If there is one attraction in Singapore that continues to reinvent how families experience learning through play, it is the colourful and highly interactive Museum of Ice Cream Singapore. Known for its whimsical rooms, immersive installations, and unlimited ice cream treats, it has now added something a little more educational into the mix this May.
From 1 to 31 May 2026, families visiting the museum will get to experience a special collaboration that brings science and play together in a very hands-on way. This is the Magic Bubble Science Lab, a limited-time children’s workshop designed in partnership with Curiosity Kids, an organisation known for making STEM learning engaging through interactive experiments and guided exploration.
At first glance, it might sound like just another kids’ activity. But this workshop is more than that. It is built around curiosity, discovery, and allowing children to learn science not from textbooks, but from actual experience. And in a place like the Museum of Ice Cream, where imagination already takes centre stage, the combination feels surprisingly natural.
A playful approach to real science learning
The Magic Bubble Science Lab focuses on something most children already love: bubbles and colours. Instead of treating them as simple play elements, the workshop breaks them down into scientific concepts that young minds can understand.
Children aged 4 to 11 will get the chance to explore how bubbles form, why they float, how colours mix, and what makes certain reactions happen. It is a 30-minute guided session, but within that short time, the goal is to spark questions that last much longer.
The sessions are scheduled every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm throughout May. This flexibility makes it easier for families to plan their visit without rushing through the museum experience.
What makes this particularly interesting is the teaching approach. Instead of formal instruction, educators from Curiosity Kids guide the children through experiments and encourage them to observe, ask, and try things themselves. That kind of learning often sticks better because it is linked with excitement rather than memorisation.
Why this collaboration stands out
The Museum of Ice Cream is already known for offering experiences that blur the line between attraction and art installation. However, this collaboration adds a deeper layer. It introduces a structured learning element without removing the fun.
Many parents in Singapore often look for activities that are both entertaining and meaningful. Weekend outings can sometimes feel repetitive, especially when children have already visited most malls, playgrounds, or indoor attractions. This is where the Magic Bubble Science Lab stands out.
Instead of just consuming entertainment, children are actively participating in something educational. And because it is framed inside a playful environment, they are more likely to stay engaged.
For parents, this is also a chance to introduce STEM concepts early. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics can sometimes feel intimidating for younger children when taught in classrooms. But when presented through bubbles, colours, and hands-on interaction, it becomes far more approachable.
Ticket options and pricing explained clearly
There are a few ways to join this experience, depending on how visitors plan their trip.
The most popular option is the bundled ticket, priced at $67, which includes both general admission to the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore and entry to the Magic Bubble Science Lab workshop. This is often the best value for families who want the full experience.
For those who already have entry arrangements or prefer a more flexible visit, there is a standalone workshop ticket priced at $25 for non-members. This allows participation in the session without full admission.
Members of the Museum of Ice Cream enjoy a discounted rate of $20 for the workshop, making it a more affordable option for frequent visitors.
There is also a membership programme priced at $62 per year, which offers unlimited access to the museum for 12 months. For families who plan to visit more than once, this can quickly become cost-effective, especially when combined with member workshop pricing.
Why this deal is worth considering
In Singapore, family-friendly activities can sometimes become expensive, especially when they combine admission fees with additional workshops or experiences. What makes this promotion stand out is that it combines both learning and entertainment in a single ticket option.
Instead of paying separately for a museum visit and a workshop, families can bundle both together. This not only saves money but also creates a more structured outing where children move from exploration to learning seamlessly.
Another reason this deal is appealing is timing. Running throughout May means there is plenty of flexibility to plan visits around school schedules, weekends, or even weekday afternoons. The 3pm to 5pm slots are particularly convenient for families with younger children who may not be ready for late evening activities.
Beyond pricing, there is also the experience factor. The Museum of Ice Cream itself is already designed to be visually engaging and highly interactive. Adding a science-based workshop inside that environment enhances the overall visit, making it more memorable.
What families can expect during the visit
A typical visit during this promotion might start with exploring the museum’s themed rooms, which are filled with colour, playful installations, and interactive exhibits. Children can enjoy the usual attractions such as ice cream tastings and imaginative spaces before heading into the workshop session.
When the Magic Bubble Science Lab begins, the environment shifts slightly from free exploration to guided learning. Educators from Curiosity Kids lead the session, encouraging children to observe bubble behaviour, experiment with colour mixing, and understand basic scientific principles.
Parents are often surprised at how quickly children become engaged. Even those who may not usually show interest in science tend to respond positively when it is presented in such a visual and hands-on format.
After the session, families can continue exploring the museum or simply relax and enjoy the remaining exhibits at their own pace.
Tips to make the most of the experience
For those planning to visit, it is worth booking early, especially for weekend slots. These tend to fill up quickly due to the limited daily workshop sessions.
Arriving slightly earlier than the scheduled time is also recommended. This gives families enough time to explore the museum before the workshop begins, rather than rushing between activities.
It is also a good idea to let children wear comfortable clothing, as the experience involves movement, interaction, and sometimes getting a little messy during experiments.
A refreshing way to combine learning and play
What makes this promotion genuinely interesting is how it blends two different worlds. On one hand, there is the playful and imaginative environment of the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore. On the other, there is structured STEM learning from Curiosity Kids.
Instead of separating education and entertainment, this experience brings them together in a way that feels natural. For families looking to do something different in May, this is not just another attraction visit. It is an opportunity for children to learn while having fun, without even realising they are in a learning environment.
In a city where options for family activities are abundant, experiences like this stand out because they offer more than just entertainment value. They leave children with curiosity, questions, and sometimes even a new interest in science.
