What to prepare before visiting an indoor playground in Singapore
Indoor playgrounds are plenty fun but kids aren’t known to be the most cautious around. To keep them safe, you’ll want to ensure they’re, firstly, dressed appropriately. Loose pants and a t-shirt are ideal so they’re comfortable. Make sure they wear sneakers or trainers as well to prevent ankle sprains and other injuries.
Ones like Tayo Station and Kiztopia have a no-shoes policy, but socks are a must. While these playgrounds do sell socks at less than $10/pair, it’d be more prudent to just come prepared with your own. SuperPark requires the use of grip socks, which prevent kids from slipping and sliding while playing. You can get one at $3.50/pair at the park itself.

1. Adventure HQ
From $40.75 for an all-access pass
This one’s for all the young daredevils in the making. Adventure HQ definitely stands out from the usual kiddy indoor playground – in fact, it’s got a bunch of high element obstacles that even adults will find exciting.
But if your child loves slides and is up for a challenge, it’s bound to be a memorable outing for the entire family. Its tallest slide stands at a grand 14m tall, so do note that it’s not for the faint hearted.
Other obstacles you can look forward to include climbing and net courses, along with a ton of other high-level activities like rock climbing and aerial gliding. The courses are definitely made for older kids, so ensure your kiddo meets the minimum height and weight requirements of 1.25m and 30kg before going.

2. X-SCAP8
From $29/pax
If Adventure HQ is right up you and your brave kid’s alley, you’ll have to check out X-SCAP8 as well. It’s a playground in Orchard that opened August last year with an impressive 10m-tall high-elements course. While you’re suspended in the air, look forward to jumping, climbing, and even cycling across the vicinity.
If you’re keen on staying nearer to the ground, there’s also a X-Warrior Challenge zone where you can ninja warrior your way through different terrains, or a golf course and mini arcade section to keep yourself entertained.
3. Better Play
Montessori-inspired playground from $25 for 2 hours
Image credit: @kratinkynlie via Instagram
The calming playspace at Better Play is the ideal spot for your little ones to learn and have fun at the same time. The aesthetic space is reminiscent of a kiddy dreamland, with educational toys ranging from wooden trains to dollhouses and miniature kitchens.
The cosy indoor playground has 2 different sections – one for crawling tots as young as 6 months old, and another for young’uns up to 6 years old.
4. The Joy of Toys
From $19 for unlimited playtime
Image credit: The Joy Of Toys Singapore via Facebook
Think indoor playgrounds, and it’s only natural that slides and ball pits immediately spring to mind. But over at The Joy of Toys, you’ll be met with a giant living room-esque space that’s packed to the brim with “old-school” wooden toys from building blocks and puzzles to dollhouses, kitchen sets, and railway tracks. Perfect for little tots to hone their fine motor skills and cognitive development.
Image credit: The Joy Of Toys Singapore via Facebook
The playground is split into 3 sections – a Main Play Space with structured and open-ended play, a Riding Room for beginner walkers, and a Toddler Play Space for young crawlers.
Stay as long as you like or tap out for some lunch and pop back in; unlimited hours of play and re-entry is included in the price on non-peak days.
5. Buds by Shangri-la
From $48 for 3 hours
Image credit: Klook
Buds by Shangri-La isn’t the biggest contender here in terms of playscape or size, but there’s more than meets the eye. Entry to Buds not only gives you access to their impressive indoor playground, but their 1,300sqft outdoor water playground, as well as access to their range of classes such as baking, art, song and dance, and storytelling.
Image credit: TripAdvisor
Expect to find a small but action-packed zone for babies and toddlers with mini ramps, slides, a ball pit, and suspended baby bouncers for pre-walking tots to get in on the fun. The Explorer Zone for kids aged 4 and up is a world of netted bridges, lava slides, and ball pit rivers.
The playspace used to be exclusive to guests at Shangri-La’s hotel and their service apartments, but the public is now welcome to book a slot for a day of unbridled fun. If you are a guest, you will get to enjoy discounted rates to Buds. Kids get 3 hours of access for just $36/child.
6. Amazonia
From $38.90 for 3 hours
Image credit: @mrs_rach via Instagram
When it comes to first impressions, the entrance of Amazonia doesn’t do a good job of taking one’s breath away. But hidden behind its fairly small entrance is this mammoth of an indoor playground. Having undergone a recent facelift, Amazonia now sports an ice age-themed interior that makes the space look brighter and more spacious.
Their iconic 8m 4-wave slide is still the main highlight, but we guarantee your little ones will love the ballpit fountain and its labyrinth of pipes that “suck” balls up to a catchment area before they “rain” down on anyone below. Parents of infants will be glad to note that the toddler section is strategically located right by the entrance away from the bustle of the main play area.
7. Kiztopia
From $67 for 3 hours
Possibly the most impressive of the lot is Marina Square’s Kiztopia. With 18 different play stations making up its 18,000sqft space, Kiztopia promises nothing short of non-stop excitement.
Look forward to high-rise play structures with spiral slides, trampolines, scalable rock walls, foam obstacle courses, and a ball pit moat that has an inflatable boat and banana boat for parent-powered rides.
Of course it comes with all the frills as well: a train that chugs round a track, a hinoki wood cube pit, VR basketball, dress-up stations, and imaginary play studios such as a grocery store, and a bakery. And if your play session runs past lunch or dinner, you can pop over to the adjacent Kith Cafe to load up on hearty Western fare.
8. Pororo Park
From $38 for 2 hours
Image credit: Pororo Park Singapore
If Netflix is a necessary evil you need to survive the demands of parenthood, then your little ones would likely be familiar with Pororo. Based on the Korean cartoon Pororo The Little Penguin, Pororo Park will let your little ones rub shoulders with the super-sized friends of Porong Porong Forest in the flesh.
The Pororo Express Train operates at 45-minute intervals, giving your little ones 3 opportunities to hop aboard during their play session.
Image credit: Pororo Park Singapore
Explore the interior of Pororo’s house, wade through the Shark Ball Pool, catch an episode in Tong Tong’s Little Theatre, or sweat it out in Poby’s small, but maze-like play gym. Smaller babies can explore the range of child-safe toys in the soft toddler area or play contractor in the Hinoki pit.
9. The Polliwogs
From $25 for 2 hours
Image credit: The Polliwogs
With an outlet at VivoCity and Clarke Quay Central, The Polliwogs is a throwback to the 90s with its retro-looking play equipment and simple decor. You’ll find webs, rope tunnels, wave slides, ball pits, climbing walls, mazes, and even an air-shoot ball arena.
Image credit: Venuerific
If you’re lucky enough, your children might get to partake in their ad-hoc activities that include crafting an all-out treasure hunt. Tired parents can lounge at their in-house bistro and clear some work with their free Wi-Fi.
10. T-Play Indoor Playground Hometeam NS Khatib
From $10.18/entry
Image credit: T-Play
More than just for the thrills and the wow factor, T-Play Indoor Playground at Hometeam NS Khatib pays homage to Singapore’s Peranakan culture and one of Singapore’s most iconic playgrounds – the Toa Payoh dragon playground.
Image credit: T-Play
Expect a 4-lane wave slide among other spiral ones, a high-rise jungle gym full of obstacles and tunnels. Younger children can also have their share of fun over at the adjacent toddler play zone that sports its own jungle gym and ball pit.
11. PLAY! by Kinderplay
From $21 for 1 hour
Image credit: PLAY by Kinderplay via Facebook
A recent addition to kid-friendly things to do at Changi Airport is PLAY by Kinderplay over at T3. Taking over the space that used to be occupied by SingKids Playsystem Teddy & Me, PLAY by Kinderplay is a Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girl wonderland that’s bigger and better.
Image credit: PLAY by Kinderplay via Facebook
Think suspended clear tunnels and jungle gym obstacles, a moving carousel for babies, and even an obstacle arena with 2 sweeper arms for your kids to avoid a la the game show Wipe Out.
12. Kidz Amaze Safra Jurong
From $16.20/child
To ramp up the fun, you’ll find large foam pellet guns stationed on different levels for a no holds barred shootout.
Image credit: Klook
Yet another indoor playground gem is Kidz Amaze over at Safra Jurong. Likely to be Singapore’s tallest jungle gym, this indoor playground has 5 impressive storeys built in a conical shape with a hollow centre that gives you a bird’s eye view of the happenings on each level.

Your young ones will also have access to the Rainbow Maze, a scalable psychedelic rope cocoon contraption; and a dark room with glow-in-the-dark balls reminiscent of the ArtScience Museum’s Future World installation.
13. Tayo Station
From $27.90 for 2 hours
Image credit: Tayo Station
Another cartoon-themed indoor playground spin-off is Tayo Station, inspired by the Korean cartoon Tayo the Little Bus. Aspiring little drivers will love speeding around the indoor circuit that’s complete with a gas station, car wash, and a garage.
Image credit: Tayo Station
Other playground highlights include a 3-storey jungle gym, a bouncy castle, hinoki pit, and a ball pool. They’ve also got a screening lounge for exhausted kiddos and parents to kick back to episodes of the cartoon, a toddler play area for crawling tots, and a chill zone for parents to set up camp.
14. KidsSTOP at Science Centre Singapore
From $20/pax
Image credit: JackRouse
Not only reserved for the big kids, KidsSTOP is the Science Centre Singapore‘s dedicated space for children 8 years and below. Its 3,000sqm gallery contains fun and educational exhibits to let your children learn about the workings of intimidating subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Image credit: JackRouse
Explore the intricacies of space travel and our solar system at the “Flight & Space” station, or hone your kiddo’s psycho-motor skills at The Big Dream Climber, a 9m-tall climbing play structure that’ll let your kids “climb to the heavens” amongst a wide variety of other activities.
15. Bouncy Paradise
From $19 for 2 hours
What’s not to love about a super-sized bouncy island? Spanning some 20,000sqft, Bouncy Paradise is a marvel that’ll leave even the jaws of adults hanging.
You have a 20-lane rainbow slide, a 2,000sqft ball pit with all sorts of inflatables (the size of some smaller indoor playgrounds!), a 20m stretch of trampolines, and a human claw machine packed with prizes in the form of snacks and toys up for grabs.
Kids can play human splat in a velcro suit and catapult themselves onto a sticky wall, challenge each other to an obstacle course, or scale a 360° “rock wall”. And while the main play zone is better for older kids, smaller tots even have a dedicated safe bouncy zone complete with mini-mountains, bubble bouncers, and a zipline for maximum enjoyment.
16. Smigy Playground
From $23 for 1 hour
Image credit: Smigy Playground via Facebook
Spanning some 5,000sqft, Smigy Playground is the largest indoor playground to grace the East and a pastel wonderland inconspicuously tucked away in Paya Lebar Quarters. They’ve opened a second outlet in Tiong Bahru that’s a younger sibling space of 3,8000sqft with all the same bright colours from their Paya Lebar spot.
There are 8 unique play zones in this baby- and toddler-safe space including a Little Tikes driving circuit, a larger-than-life ball pit arena with slides galore, and a knitted treehouse with swings.
17. Waka Waka
From $27 for unlimited playtime on weekdays
Image credit: Venuerific
All parents know that mealtimes are a hectic time where you wolf meals down while trying to keep your children fed and entertained. But if you’re tired of rushing through your meals, then Waka Waka over at Furama will grant your wish for a peaceful lunch.
The Eat & Play package is just $45 for 2 adults and 1 child for high-tea or main course lunch at the Waterfall Lounge. After which, the little one gets unlimited playtime at Waka Waka.
Let your young ones burn off all that extra energy scaling a volcano, riding Waka Waka’s large stationary jungle animals, and tackling balance beams. The place is safari-themed so little lovers of the zoo will be 100% in love.
18. Kaboodle
From $10 for 3 hours on Mondays
Image credit: @kaboodle.sg via Instagram
While vibrant indoor playgrounds full of ramps, slides, and ball pits make up most of the options on this list, Kaboodle is one playground that shies in the opposite direction. Big on imaginative play, Kaboodle’s expansive play space is filled with a selection of blue bits and bobs to help your little ones breathe life into the visions of their wildest dreams.
Image credit: @kaboodle.sg via Instagram
The positives? Improved social skills, cognitive thinking, and confidence. There’s also a sensory play section loaded with an assortment of sensory bins for free play and exploration.
19. Snow City
From $22 for 1 hour
If you don’t have any winter holiday plans this December just yet, frolicking in sub-zero temperatures with winter jackets at Snow City will be the next best thing for your antsy children.
Image credit: @snowcitysg via Instagram
Build a snowman, make snow angels, zip down a 60m-long snow slope, explore an igloo home – these are some of the things your little ones can look forward to at Snow City. The simulated snowfall on the upper mezzanine level is also a treat for young ones who’ve yet to experience the real deal!
Older kids can also battle it out in Snow City’s sub-zero shooting arena.
20. Future World ArtScience Museum
From $20/child
Image credit: @artsciencemuseumsg via Instagram
There’s nothing like a million moving illuminated projections that react in response to the slightest touch and movement to send our children into a wide-eyed frenzy, and the breathtaking installations at ArtScience Museum‘s Future World: Where Art Meets Science will do just that.
Image adapted from: Future World | ArtScience Museum
Chase butterflies and disrupt the streams of a waterfall in Transcending Boundaries and make your mark at Sketch Aquarium and Sketch Town where you’ll be able to scan your coloured masterpieces and watch them swim or chug around the wall. Don’t miss the light-bedazzled slide for young ones and the light ball orchestra which features a reservoir of glowing bouncy balls.
21. The Artground
Free admission at Goodman Arts Centre
Image credit: @theartground via Instagram
As the only free-entry indoor playground on the list, The Artground is actually a charity-based art initiative for children up to 9 years of age – babies included. Its open Arts Space playscape is transformed every 4-6 months according to artist collaborations.
Image credit: The Artground
Ongoing exhibitions include Clean Up, Or Else, an exploratory installation that sizes mundane household chores to cartoonish proportions. The little ones will have a blast learning about shared responsibilities, and the building of good habits while curiously prodding around a miniature kitchen.
A Curious Garden at One Holland Village.
Image credit: The Artground
They’ve recently opened up a new play centre at One Holland Village that has plenty of cushioned logs, jungle gyms, and a slide for young ones to climb over. This one isn’t free and is chargeable at $5/child, but Orange & Blue CHAS card holders can book a free session online.
The Artground also curates multi-sensory paid workshops and experiences for different age groups – think theatrical performances, music, dance and storytelling, and arts and crafts.
22. Canopy Park Jewel Changi Airport
From $8/pax
Foggy Bowls.
Jewel Changi needs no introduction – and for the sweet price of $8, entry to Canopy Park will let you let your children have a free run of the Topiary Walk’s many animal photo stops, the chill spot that is Foggy Bowls, Petal Garden, and the Discovery Slides.
Manulife Sky Nets (Walking).
For a little more excitement, top up a little more for access to the Hedge Maze, Manulife Sky Nets and the Mirror Maze!
23. SuperPark
From $22.90 for 2 hours
When it comes to indoor playgrounds, SuperPark is a classic.
Spanning over 40,000sqft, this giant indoor playground has everything to make your kid’s heart sing. There’s the Adventure Area with slides and slopes for younger children; Game Arena where baseball and basketball games take place; and Freestyle Hall in which everyone’s welcome to bounce, skate, and tumble.
A trip to SuperPark requires specialised grip socks ($3.50) which can be purchased at the door. And remember, if your kiddos are below 8 years old, you’ll need to accompany them.
24. Little Bear’s House
From $22/child
If it’s an indoor playground for tiny tots that you’re after, head to Little Bear’s House and call it a day. Nestled in Serangoon Gardens, this family-owned cosy space is split into 3 different play areas.
Image credit: @englishwithellie.sg via Instagram
The Developmental Play zone has brainy toys with shapes, numbers, and letters. The Interactive & Social Play area is stocked with games that require communication like train tracks and doll houses. And up in the Imaginative Play section, you’ll find toys like a supermarket and a kitchen where children can pretend to shop and cook.
Image credit: @audrey.sxy via Instagram
There’s also a corner dedicated to books and puzzles if your kiddos are into those. And when their hunger hits, a feeding area is ready with high chairs and comfy couches. Kiddies as young as 10 months old are welcome.
25. The Tiara Society
From $45 for 2 hours
Indoor playgrounds are stationed all over Singapore. But one that has hundreds of fairy tale outfits for kids to play dress up in like The Tiara Society is rare.
Image credit: @openbookbytts via Instagram
Over here, lil girls and boys can be anyone they’ve dreamt of becoming: a knight in shining armour, Bell in Beauty and The Beast, and even a wizard. Check out the Pumpkin Carriage, have a pretend tea party at the Ice Palace, and throw a royal fashion show at The Runway.
Image credit: @openbookbytts via Instagram
The Tiara Society also hosts themed birthday parties, preschool enrichment programmes, princess’s etiquette classes, and sports and arts camps.
(Temporarily closed) Airzone
You don’t have to travel all the way to the far East to get an “aerial” experience. City Square Mall offers one just as thrilling in the form of Airzone, Singapore’s first atrium net playground.
And to up the ante, Airzone’s play area spans 3 storeys and comprises a suspended ball pit, gargantuan bouncy balls, a 3D maze and a slide that gives you a quick exit from the peak.
(Closed) NERF Action Xperience
You’ve probably seen the guns in Toys R Us, or worse, been pelted by one of its foam bullets if you have a couple lying around at home. Now, take all the rabak action out of your house and into a controlled environment a.k.a. NERF Action Xperience – an 18,000sqft indoor arena with different play arenas and proper gear.
