This summer, a new kind of playground is opening — one where children don’t just play, they build, lead and create.

Happening May 23 to 24 at The Podium, Tiny Tycoon is set to become the country’s most empowering kids fair, designed to equip young minds with real-world skills in a fun, immersive and meaningful environment.

More than just an event, Tiny Tycoon introduces children to the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, leadership and collaboration — skills essential for a fast-changing future.

Where kids become builders of their own world

At Tiny Tycoon, children step into real-world roles through curated experiences:

Tiny Traders: Kids launch their own mini businesses through 1-by-1-meter booths, selling original creations or pre-loved items. 

Kiddie Crew: Participants work alongside real store owners, learning responsibility and teamwork. 

Interactive workshops: A series of engaging classes designed to develop creativity, communication and problem-solving skills. 

Kid-friendly music festival: A celebratory space where kids can unwind, connect and express themselves. 

Each experience is intentionally designed to shift children from passive consumers into active creators.

Building life skills beyond the classroom

Tiny Tycoon aims to bridge the gap between traditional education and real-world application by teaching children: Financial literacy and money management; confidence in communication and decision-making; creativity and innovation; and social skills and collaboration. 

“In a world that’s evolving faster than ever, children need more than academic knowledge — they need the confidence to create value, lead with purpose and adapt. This is what Tiny Tycoon is built for,” the Tiny Tycoon team said.

Designed with both children and parents in mind, Tiny Tycoon creates a space where families can connect through shared growth experiences. From running a booth to participating in workshops, the event encourages meaningful parent-child interaction while fostering independence.

The fair also promotes community building, bringing together young learners, families, educators and brands in one collaborative ecosystem.

Tiny Tycoon will be held May 23 to 24, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at The Podium 

Families are encouraged to pre-register, as slots are limited. Participants may secure a space as a Tiny Trader or join as attendees to experience the full lineup of activities, workshops and performances.
