i12 Katong Has Family-Friendly Activities Like A New Climbing Gym & Indoor Playground For Kids

Family-friendly activities at i12 Katong

School holidays are approaching fast, which probably means you’ve been racking your brain for activities for the kids to keep them busy. You could send them to another supplementary class or workshop, but let’s face it, we know you’ll be missing them just waiting for the wee ones to be done.

Instead, schedule bonding time together as a family by heading to the recently revamped i12 Katong. Featuring a new indoor playground and a rock climbing wall for little ones, here are family-friendly activities for you, your boo, plus 2:

Pick up rock climbing skills as a family

Kid-friendly rock climbing wall for ages 5 and up.

We don’t blame you if you affectionately call your darling children “lil monkeys”. After all, it does seem like they’re constantly finding new ways to bounce off the walls – almost literally. Well, they’ll at least be able to put those skills to use at Climb Central.

The rock climbing arena has recently opened up courses designed for kids as young as 5 years old for their first go at climbing. As they get more familiar with the basics, they can progress to more advanced rope courses under the supervision of trainers.

Make this a family activity just by joining your younglings on the climbs as well. No experience is required to get started. Just attend a quick 15-minute briefing and you’ll soon be off vertically racing your kids to reach the top of the walls.

Unit: #04-01/02
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11am-11pm | Sat-Sun & PH 9am-9pm

Bond with your little ones at Wan To Play Forest

It’s not going to take much convincing for your munchkins to say “yes” to visiting Wan To Play Forest even when the weather outside is perfect for a day out. It’s the newest indoor playground on the block that’s chock full of activities for little ones.

We’re sure kiddos will make a beeline for the climbing walls and slides that land into a ball pit. If not, the foam building blocks will prove to be fun to stack and knock down as well.

Wan To Play Forest has quieter activities too, for the less rambunctious. Get junior to work on his or her dexterity with DIY projects like sand painting at the activity corner. There are even pretend archaeological dig kits you can get for your dino-obsessed offspring.
