Little Steps Insider Tips: Since this event takes place at night, we’d recommend getting the little ones down for a nap in the afternoon so they can stay up later than their usual bedtime! If you’re visiting with little ones, bring a stroller along, as the installations are spread out across the Bras Basah.Bugis Precinct.
