Admit it, asking kids to pose and smile for photos is quite a tricky job. If you really want to immortalize their childhood years, bring them to Art in Island. Compared to traditional museums and art galleries, Art in Island is home to interactive 3D artworks that let kids have fun while engaging their imagination. Make sure they have socks on before coming here because shoes are required to be taken off.
