Explore the marvels of HealthZone
 
With its emphasis on interactive hands-on learning, HealthZone is a fun environment to learn more about the healthy lifestyle.
-
HealthZone — Singapore’s only healthy lifestyle exhibition centre — represents the Health Promotion Board’s (HPB) direction and long-term commitment to help all Singaporeans achieve a healthy lifestyle. HealthZone combines elements of entertainment and hands-on interactivity to communicate health information in a colourful, fun and exciting manner.

HealthZone is a one-stop exhibition centre where Singaporeans can learn about healthy living through colourful thematic displays and acquire skills to practise good health habits for life. Located just opposite the Outram Park MRT Station, HealthZone is housed at level two of the HPB.

Discover the secrets to good health
The HealthZone exhibition area spreads over 1,000 square metres and features nine major topical areas namely the Fitness Funhouse, Exciting Eatery, Addiction Alley, Tooth Terrain, Vision Vista, Puberty Passage, Senior Spot, Lifestyle and Diseases and the Happiness Hall. With a wide variety of imaginative displays, interactive computer games and lively multimedia shows, visitors can touch, feel and learn about health in an entertaining way.

So come on down to the Exciting Eatery to assess the amount of calories you had accumulated at lunch and then find out how long you need to work out to burn off those extra calories. Continue on to experience the art of relaxation at the Happiness Hall. Bring the peace and tranquility home with you. You can find out about diseases like heart attack, cancer and stroke at the Lifestyle and Diseases area. You can also check your blood pressure level at the blood pressure monitor stations.

Learn important health-promoting skills
Another avenue to enhance your health knowledge is the Health Education Sessions (for groups only). These sessions promote useful health skills through discussion, role-play, demonstration and hands-on practice. The state-of-the-art multimedia classrooms provide a unique learning environment for adults and students to conduct in-depth exploration of health issues. Lessons are taught by health professionals, who use interactive approaches to make learning fun.

FunAbout Health performance
To further enhance the learning of health in a fun way, special performances like magic shows, clown performances, balloon crafting and caricature are staged every weekend at HealthZone. With the lively acts and witty health messages, both the young and old will discover the wonders of learning about health in a fun way.

HealthZone gala events
HealthZone constantly explores new avenues to stress the importance of good health in a fun way. Pantomime, a health camp, health fair and Family Day event are just some of the exciting programmes organised by HealthZone.

A Health Carnival will be held on 12 and 13 September 2003. During this two-day event, exciting activities like workshops, stage shows, a book fair and contests will provide everyone the opportunity to discover the marvels of good health.

And for the December holidays, HealthZone promises to bring all kids an extraordinary Health Camp to enrich their month-long vacation!
