Billed as Singapore first indoor learning playground, the City is not your typical indoor playground. Expect role playing in different locations such as the supermarket, the clinic, the superheros zone and lots more. Superheros outfits and princess gown are avaliable.Read the review here

The Superhero wannabe. Great place for a party for older kids.
Amazonia @ Great World City
The first time we visited Amazonia, we were in awe of the jungle play gym. The sight of a 4 storey slide is utterly enticing. The climb up was a fun challenge and the way down was even more shiok. The toddler's play area was relatively big and 'enclose' away from the main play area ensuring younger tots have their share of fun.
What's Hot
- The best and highest slide in an indoor playground. Think Big Splash for the older generations who are reading this.
- Challenging vertical play structure.
- Jungle theme playground that takes the theme seriously.
- 3D Glow Golf and Space ball areas for kids and adults.
- No Peak and off-peak price.
- Entrance fees at $33 per child age 3-12 is too much for a normal family outing.
- Other extras like Glow Golf and Space balls require additional fee.

- Separate cafe area from the main play area means your child is out of sight during play time.

Canopy@ Changi Airport
Canopy@ Changi Airport Terminal 1 |
An indoor playground at the airport? You bet! Canopy is a smallish set up in Changi Airport Terminal one. Comprising of a 2 level structure, it occupies no more than 1 basket ball size area. With a small slide and trampoline, it will keep kids entertain for a bit.
What's Hot
- A playground in the airport gives families more reasons to visit the airport.
- It's free if you spend $30 as a Changi Rewards Member
- Only $6 per entrance. Cheapest indoor playground.
- It's a tad too small to spend hours in it. It's more like dessert rather than the full course.
