Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.
1. Bon Voyage, Le Le!
All good things must come to an end. Sadly, this includes our beloved not-so-little panda Le Le's time in Singapore. Le Le will be returning to China in December, and River Wonders has organised a series of festivities to send him off in style.
Take a trip down memory lane with photo points of Le Le's growth milestones, write farewell fanmail to Le Le (and stand a chance to win Le Le merchandise!), and more.
The best part? There's a 40 per cent discount on the "one adult, one child" admission bundle all month.

4. Gateway to Hell: Reliving the Gruesome 60s
Orchardgateway, in collaboration with creative brand The Blue Pocket, is hosting its first-ever Halloween celebration. You're invited to step into a unique, 1960s-themed haunted house in a bid to stop a demonic schoolgirl from wreaking havoc in our world.
The journey begins at the mysterious mama shop that has materialised at the main entrance of orchardgateway. Clues will lead you to the Lift Lobby A at Level 2 of the mall, where you'll have nothing but an empty bottle to capture the spirit in - everything else that ensues remains shrouded in mystery.
With six curated zones, a photo booth and a Virtual Reality room, this haunted house installation at Orchardgateway will bring you up close and personal with familiar yet unsettling characters of the era in fantastically detailed settings as you venture forth to stop the evil spirit. Is your heart prepared for this eerie scare maze?
