When it comes to kid-friendly activities in Johor Bahru, Singaporeans are spoiled for choice. From beachfront areas like Danga Bay to shopping malls, you won’t run out of things to do.
Just as you thought JB couldn’t get any more interesting, there is now a new indoor theme park that just opened at Toppen Shopping Centre, a shopping mall located 20 minutes from Woodlands Checkpoint. Called Game On Theme Park, this is where you can take the kids the next time you’re planning a weekend trip to JB.
Game On Theme Park is a multi-concept theme park with 13 attractions. There’s an arcade, KTV area, e-sports gaming portal, and obstacle courses, among others. Adults can take on an indoor Flying Fox or zoom down some Ninja Slides, a 5-lane slide for both kids and adults to race down on.

If you’re spending time with the kids, there are easier obstacle courses like the Sticky Wall, where you’ll have to beat the timer to get from one end to the other, and the Dodge Dash Mario game. Else, head to Arcade Battle where you can partake in some virtual racing.

There’s also a KTV section with rooms that have punny names like Justin Barber and Taylor Sweet. Each session is limited to 30 minutes, so you can rest with your kakis after taking part in the physical activities. Not to mention, gamers can also head to the E-Sport PS5 and Nintendo section.

Once you’ve had all the fun taking on the obstacle courses, head to Fuel Up, the in-house cafe. Snack on some egg waffles (RM7, ~S$2.01) or go all out by ordering mains such as nasi lemak with chicken rendang and sambal (RM13, ~S$3.70) and spaghetti bolognese with chicken (RM13, ~S$3.70).
Those who need some caffeine can get an iced latte (RM7.50, ~S$2.15) or hot mocha (RM7, ~S$2.01). Soft drinks and water are also available at RM3 (~S$0.86).
The December holidays may have ended, but you can always head across the Causeway the next time you have a free weekend. Once you’re done cafe-hopping and shopping, why not check out Game On Theme Park as well?
