Conquer Your Fears At Canopy Park
This kids’ indoor playground was last featured on our list of fun kid activities in Singapore, and is more than deserving of another mention. Canopy Park is on the top floor of our beloved Jewel at Changi Airport. This dazzling indoor playground is sure to have something for everyone.
For your little adrenaline seekers, challenge them to climb onto the famous Manulife net without once getting scared. This bouncy net stretches high over the rest of Jewel and is 250m long, with the highest point being 8m above Canopy Park. Encourage your little ones to conquer their fear of heights, and jump and pop on top of the world!
Don’t forget to have a family photo-op at Canopy bridge, suspended 23m above the ground. The floor of this bridge is completely made of glass and the iconic Rain Vortex can be seen in the background from any angle. Your kids are sure to feel amazing posing in front of such an incredible sight!
And if you get a little tired afterwards, that’s no issue at all. The Canopy Park offers a Topiary Walk, where intricate sculptures have been woven out of nothing but flowers. Take a moment to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of colourful parrots, elephants and crocodiles crafted from a diversity of plants.
Best of all, Canopy Park is accessible to Singapore Residents at the low, low price of $6.00 per person. That’s hours of fun for just a few bucks, so what are you waiting for?

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth At Wan To Play Candyland
Sweeet! This creative kids’ indoor playground features a variety of activities for your little one, all themed with the universal constant love of every child: Candy.
This kids’ indoor playground boasts two special play areas designed for sensory stimulation. As we mentioned in this article, sensory stimulation is the way your kid learns about the world around them. It’s important to expose them to a variety of stimulations as soon as you can!
That’s where Wan To Play Candyland’s kinetic sand pit comes in. Kids will enjoy getting their hands dirty with the satisfying squish of this special, colourful sand. Also, this kids’ indoor playground has a unique Hinoki pit – a play area filled with wooden cubes. It’s believed that these are similarly sensory-rich and provide a soothing play experience for children.
Beyond these, Wan To Play Candyland also features more traditional play areas for kids. They have an obstacle course and a huge slide that leads directly into a ball pit. For a child, that sounds like peak luxury, doesn’t it?
Be sure to indulge in the Pretend Play Area before you leave. Your children can enjoy dressing up as the prince and princesses that they are. Or, perhaps they can make-believe and pretend to be a grown-up police officer or supermarket cashier! There are plenty of props available to fuel your little one’s imagination.

Have A Bouncing Good Time At Jolly Jungle
This kids’ indoor playground is perfect for your little monkeys – ahem. Your little children, of course. Jokes aside, Jolly Jungle is specially designed for that intersection between learning and adventure.
Located inside Tampines Regional Library, Jolly Jungle allows kids the space they need to run, climb and explore so that they can learn through play. The highlight of this kids’ indoor playground is their Bounce zone. This is a giant padded trampoline so your little one can jump around to their heart’s content, while still staying safe. This promotes their vestibular sense (their sense of balance) which allows them to move smoothly and stay upright.
Other notable features of Jolly Jungle include their jungle-themed treehouse. Encourage your little one to clamber into the structure and spin their very own stories about why and how it was built! You’d be surprised at just how wild their imaginations can run.
Also, make sure to drop by their Mega Slide. This gigantic slide is lit by dazzling LED lights, so going down it feels absolutely magical. Jolly Jungle’s website promises to be ‘a thrilling adventure’ that your kid will want to try over and over again. Who are you to deny them this dream?

Relive Your Childhood Nostalgia At Pororo Park
“Wow, it’s Pororo! Hello, Pororo!” Sounds familiar? We’d hope so. Pororo Park is Singapore’s first character-based playground, based on its namesake the iconic Pororo Penguin.
This kids’ indoor playground promises a mouthwatering variety of adventures that your kids can get up to. We recommend starting with the Hinoki pit for sensory satisfaction. The aromatic Hinoki wood used in Pororo Park is shipped straight from South Korea and is less messy than traditional sand, while still providing the same level of fun.
Of course, there’s also Poby’s Gym which features more slides and ball pits (you can never have too many of those!) For a more novel experience, try Crong’s Backyard – an inflatable playground where your kids can bounce themselves and enjoy some silly fun.
Before you leave Pororo Park, be sure to grab a bite from their newly revamped Loopy’s Cafe! This cafe features good old comfort food, including frozen yoghurt, pasta and waffles. Your little ones are sure to be hungry after all that exhausting play and these treats will perk them right up!

Zoom Around At VroomTown Driving City
