Join the celebrations with Hello Kitty and eight other Sanrio friends at the carnival, where games, rides, activities, and prizes galore await!

The fun continues with a nine-zone Sanrio-themed carnival at the T3 Arrival Hall, featuring games, rides, and larger-than-life figurines. Visitors can collect limited-edition Sanrio prizes, including plush toys and character-inspired keepsakes, by winning tickets at the game booths. Each zone showcases a different character, promising endless fun and plenty of photo opportunities.
