Indoor Playgrounds for Children

Share

Indoor soft playgrounds can be a savoir for stress parents and hyperactive kids. They usually comes with play structures designed to be safe and fun and is a good place to go especially when it is raining or way too hot to be outdoors. The kids get to expand their energy and practise their motor and social skills while parents get a little rest.

Here is a list of indoor playgrounds around Singapore:

CENTRAL/SOUTH

Fidgets (Turf City)
Big with three huge structures challenging enough for the adventurous kids and areas designated for toddlers and babies under 2 years old. With a build in cafe and unlimited play for just $15, it is where parents can chill out and finally get to read a book and catch up with friends while the kids play. Bring your socks. They are really strict about that here. Admission is for kids up to 10 years old. Free for parents and kids under 1 year old. $1 dollar of your entrance fee will be donated to registered children charities in Singapore.

This is quite a small set up but it is generally not too crowded and the kids love it all the same. The price is hard to beat at $3.30 an hour if you get their playcard. There is icecream, snacks and drinks available and a sitting area for parents.

Peek-A-Boo (Kallang Leisure Park)
 $12 per entry  for kids older than 2 year old. Smaller than the other east side playgrounds, this is still good as you get to combine shopping and playing in one trip. There is also a cafe and free wireless surfing so bring your lap top and er... work(?) while your kids play.

Polliwogs (East Coast)
This new play area have both an outdoor and indoor area. Structures are interesting and wide enough for the parent to go catch the child when they refuse to end their play session. There is a ball volcano that is really fun. For the parents, there is a very comfortable sitting area and free flow of coffee and tea. Bring coins. Your kids will want the snacks from their vending machine when they are taking a break from playing. $18 for 90 mins on weekends.

Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations.  Have gone to Little O'zone.  Kid still a bit young to appreciate all the high structures but will definitely go again to explore the others when he is older!

Amaze

Wow, went to Jurong Amaze before and didn't know they have one in Toa Payoh Safra too!

Hey moms, if you want slimmer waist-line, go check it out and join in with your kids! The tunnels and funnels are bound to have you "twisting and turning"! However, it gets claustrophobic after a while both my daughter & I couldn't wait to get out!

Saw one dad got stuck at the hips in one of the tunnels. It was hilarious!

Great summary  Just to

Great summary 

Just to add... My son and his cousins all got bums from the slides at Jurong SAFRA. I think it's because the slides are all very steep and the little ones get knocked at every turns.
