Following the opening of boutique container hotels in September, Downtown East launched the Carnival D’Ultimate XCape offering games, rides, and art installations on Nov. 5.
That’s not all.
On Nov. 11, the entertainment hub unveiled two new attractions - a giant gumball machine installation and an indoor interactive dinosaur playground.
Candy Pops installations
Created by homegrown artist Justin Loke, Candy Pops is a 4m-tall giant vintage gumball machine with a see-through container and colourful balls at the entrance of E!Avenue.

It takes visitors back to its heyday in the 70s and 80s "when gumball machines were the IT game for children" and to “evoke joy and nostalgia”.

Candy Pops will join two other pre-existing Instagrammable installations, Wave Hello (by Space Objekt & Aeropalmics) and Lumi Towers (by Ultimate).
Located within minutes from one another, all three installations are on display until next year and admission is free.
