Trousers, winter gloves and socks are must-haves at Parkway Parade's Snow Fun House, a tundra-like retreat set at minus 5 deg C and perfectly in theme with the mall's Christmas campaign, 'Tis The Season of Snowy Surprises.

More than 40 children from student care centre Canossaville Children And Community Services had snowy fun in the sun at the opening preview of the Snow Fun House at the Basement Outdoor Plaza on Wednesday as part of Parkway Parade's corporate social responsibility efforts.

The Snow Fun House boasts the ultimate indoor snow experience, complete with an igloo, snow luges and a snow pit.

The children slid gleefully down a snow slide and threw snowballs at one another.

With plastic buckets and scoops they built snow structures, while the Arctic Avengers mascots brought much entertainment.

AWESOME

Seven-year-old Kody Wang, the first to luge down the slide, told The New Paper: "It was fun, cold and awesome."

J.P. Kushe, also seven, excitedly added: "It is my first time seeing snow and I want to stay in the (Snow Fun House) for 100 days without leaving."

Parkway Parade's general manager Joey Teng told TNP: "The Snow Fun House is a place for everyone to experience snow in tropical Singapore. There is no need to travel to see snow this Christmas... for we are already providing a fun-filled, family-friendly destination to not only shop but share wonderful and meaningful memories at."

From now until Jan 1, the mall's outdoor plaza will be transformed into a magical train station where shoppers can "hop aboard" a steam train.

The ION Orchard Express will travel across continents through the clever use of moving graphics and imagery.

The train station will be decorated with hot air balloons, Christmas trees and lights.

Also check out the nearby 20m-tall walk-in Christmas tree decorated by Danish jewellery brand Pandora. Inside, be greeted by a light show.

On Monday, the mall will unveil the newly-revamped ION Sky (above), Orchard Road's tallest observation deck at 218m above ground on Level 56, with a beguiling multimedia show.

The experience is created in collaboration with Cultural Medallion recipient Dick Lee and charts Orchard Road's evolution from the 1830s' nutmeg farms, spice gardens and fruit orchards to today's shopping haven.
