“A free, family-friendly Halloween weekend with stage shows, crafts and trick-or-treating from 30 October to 1 November”
Times Square Center is inviting families to swap frights for giggles this Halloween with “Haunted Timesylvania”, a free, family-friendly celebration led by the region’s favourite entertainer, Magic Phil, and his friends. From 30 October to 1 November, between 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM daily, the mall will be transformed into a playful, fun-spooky world of laughter, crafts and treats for little monsters and grown-ups alike.
The star of the show is Magic Phil, back at Times Square Center with Stage Show Giggles with Magic Phil and Friends. With his trademark mix of magic, comedy, and audience participation, he and his colourful crew will have kids and parents laughing together. It’s the must-see moment of the weekend, so grab a front-row spot early.
Between shows, there’s plenty to keep little hands busy. Families can head out trick-or-treating around the mall and collect sweet surprises along the way, then settle in for Creepy Crafts, where kids can make their own Halloween keepsake, think spooky masks and bat-wing crafts to take home. The fun carries on with Halloween-themed games and spooky entertainment, think mini treasure hunts, ghostly giveaways and family challenges, all designed to keep things playful rather than scary for every age. Little ones are invited to dress up and take part in the Kids’ Friendly Halloween Costume Competition on 1 November, where the grand prize winner will take home a prize bundle!
