Oh, boy! Sentosa is really turning up this Chinese New Year, with everything from Pop Mart installations to art takeovers along the beaches. And while you’re at that, we recommend adding Gallop into Spring to the list too, because for the first time ever, Disney sweethearts Mickey and Minnie are taking over Sentosa Sensoryscape.
From January 30 to March 3 2026, this free Disney-filled experience celebrates the Year of the Fire Horse, with installations and interactive zones to explore across the island.
Start your journey off with Yanyang, the Celestial Guardian of King Mu’s horses. Standing 8 metres tall at Tactile Trellis, this majestic horse is set against a pretty floral backdrop, alongside 2.5-metre Mickey and Minnie figures.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Meet the Eight Celestial Horses by local artist JooHeng Tan at Lookout Loop, where you can scan QR codes on Mickey-themed boards for personalised zodiac reflections and downloadable phone screensavers. Or, follow your nose to the Scented Sphere, where visitors can follow their noses through the smells of Chinese New Year – from mooncakes to traditional herbs – while interacting with playful lantern riddles along the way.
Over at Symphony Streams, feast your eyes as motifs form a glowing peacock topped with a twelve-sided lantern, with Disney icons Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Donald joining in, each holding a lantern of their own. After dark, layered projections bring the whole scene to life, together with Lion-on-Poles performances and roaming festive characters.
At the end of the trail, round it all off by getting some good shots in with the giant red packet installation featuring Mickey and Minnie.
You can also bring the celebration home with merchandise from any Sentosa Shop across the island. Customise your very own Disney Zodiac-themed nameplates, featuring Disney and Pixar characters alongside the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, as well as Pixar keyboard keychains at Beach Station.
