Review Body: Such an enjoyable and therapeutic experience! Our host, Edwin, was very helpful and generous with his knowledge of terrariums, and continued to offer advice even after the workshop. He also took the time to engage with my son, making the experience special for both of us. It was lovely to meet someone who has pursued his passion and genuinely enjoys sharing it with others. We came away with our own terrariums and are excited to start our own personal terrarium journey.

Review Body: You will leave with a nice little terrarium to bring home. However.. it’s advertised as 1h workshop and ours lasted for 20min only. It happened so quickly that I didn’t have time to take any photo (my product was boxed up before I had time to even take out my camera..). I also probably should have managed my expectation, I was disappointed that there was very limited creativity allowance, basically can only follow what the person tells u to do so you can’t really create what you have in mind.

Review Body: My boys and I recently attended the crab nano paludarium workshop at Chai Chee Safari, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The session was well-structured and hands-on, making it perfect for beginners. Our trainer, Edwin, was incredibly patient and helpful. He guided us through every step with clear instructions and made sure we understood the process. The 1.5-hour session was just right, allowing us to create our own beautiful nano paludarium without feeling rushed. What really stood out was the excellent aftersales support. When the water filter stopped working a few days later, Edwin was quick to help us troubleshoot the issue (micro particles clogged the mechanism up). Additionally, when the mosses didn’t thrive as expected and turned brown a week later, they kindly provided extra Christmas mosses and glue to fix it, going above and beyond to ensure our setup succeeded. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone interested in paludariums or looking for a fun, educational activity. **Big thanks to Edwin and the CCS team for such a wonderful experience!**

Review Body: Had a wonderful experience with their paludarium workshop. It was a small, interactive and engaging 6 hour session where we were taken through the steps in detail. The instructor was also the founder who was passionate, knowledgeable and super patient with noob questions and demonstrations. It’s not your cookie cutter workshop and we walked away with foundational knowledge and the confidence to set up one ourselves, Thoroughly enjoyed it and left feeling super inspired. And we were surprised by what we walked away with. Highly recommended.

Review Body: Did a Vivarium session first, it was so much fun, super informative and Dikai was really patient and helpful throughout the workshop. He gave many tips and told us how to construct not just the features but to create an aesthetically pleasing Vivarium. We were excited when there was a new workshop for shrimps and crabs and instantly booked it! The area is cozy and conducive for workshops. It was an intimate setting with guidance through every step. Will likely be back for any new workshops ☺️

Review Body: went down to the store for the crab paludarium workshop conducted by Edwin and it was so informative + fun! we were too slow and overran the workshop timing (sorry Edwin) but he very kindly didn't chase us and even went the extra mile to share the contact he had for aquarium supplies and livestock 🥹 highly recommended if you're new to this! and the store is beautiful, I plan to drop by in future to admire the scapes 🥹 (crab was only added after 1.5 weeks of cycling)

Review Body: Went with my mother for the terrarium workshop, was very informative and fun to do! Loved it as instructors and friends were very lovely and kind. Chill place, can come here to shop for terrarium and aquarium materials or just to find out more about terrarium and aquarium <3. Recommend the workshops for people who are curious to try out their interests in plants/terrariums or been wanting to try and make terrarium but not knowing where to start.

Review Body: Recommended by friend to CCS. Went down to the shop to have a look and eventually committed with a custom Shrimp Paludarium after looking at some of the display work they made. Edwin & DK are friendly and always patience to share and provide advice based on their experience. Most important I realised, they take notes of what you requested for. This is the right attitude I am always looking for when dealing something.

Very informative session where they are super patient to teach and can tell they are pretty passionate in what they do. Quite worth considering materials are all included as well as filter and light too. Thank you so much
