Exciting Indoor Playgrounds In Town
If you’re looking for exciting indoor playgrounds in town to bring your kids, then read on for a comparison table as well as video at the end of the post. Playgrounds covered include 3 top choices within Marina Square – Kiztopia, Pororo Park and Kids In The Room.
While the outdoor playgrounds are great for vitamin D, the thought of exposing little ones to the punishing heat and unpredictable rain would make a parent of toddlers think twice about braving the elements.
Enter Marina Square, a central location in Singapore for the family to hang out. With very decent parking rates on weekends, we typically get away with $5 for a couple hours of fun at the indoor playgrounds and a meal at the many cafes within the mall.
An overview of the indoor playgrounds at Marina Square, you can see them as going lower in physical intensity from left to right in the comparison table. For a family with children between 2 to 6, it would be challenging to find a perfect playground because what is best for one age may not be appropriate for the other. Thankfully they are at the stage where hanging out together is more important than going to the one that they find fitting to their skill level. That said, the 2 year old cannot contribute much to the escape room that is Kids In The Room. The 6 year old will also have outgrown Pororo Park’s Hinoki pit. We make the best out of the mismatch, and enjoy family time at the indoor playgrounds.
Indoor Playground #1 – Kids In The Room
In terms of age, Kids In The Room is the newest addition to the mall, opening its doors in March 2025. With 8 rooms to escape from, suggesting 2 rooms per visit, it offers replay value by collecting stamps in a passport. The facilitators are dressed in themed costumes and play their roles well to help you adjust to the themes as the players also dress up according to the rooms selected. It was hilarious to watch 2 year old fit in an oversized lab coat. Worth the entrance fee just for the cute visuals.
What’s unique about this indoor playground is the fusion of the adult theme of escape room and adapting it to the world of children. Unlike the adult version where the rooms are physically locked up and players solve the last puzzle to unlock the door, I like Kids In The Room’s friendly curtains installed in place, to walk out anytime children don’t feel comfortable. The storytelling in the mission briefings are imaginative, empowering and positive, helping with building the self-esteem of little ones and taking away some load from parents to have to do it.
You should visit Kids In The Room for a soft equivalent to OBS jungle confidence course but for intellectual and emotional development.
Indoor Playground #2 – Pororo Park
Pororo Park is the indoor playground of choice since firstborn’s time. Combined with watching the educational series on Netflix teaching social skills and consideration for friends, the playground helps to reinforce the association of virtues from the screen to reality.
It is an appropriate middle ground between the 2 other indoor playgrounds because the climbing and jumping crowd would like the installation beside the function room. At the same time, younger children can work on their fine motor skills grabbing the Hinoki cubes. Credit to Pororo Park for upgrading that play area from a ball pit previously. Unique to Pororo Park that both indoor playgrounds do not have, is1 the titular character and friends appearing in giant sized mascot costumes to take photos and engage children in dances.
You should visit Pororo Park when your kids range between toddler and kindergarten going age, that’s your best bet for satisfying the needs of the little ones.
Indoor Playground #3 – Kiztopia
Kiztopia always came across as intimidating in size for firstborn to attempt. Imagine the selling point of being the biggest indoor playground in Singapore, and at the other end you’re looking a stumbling toddler who is happy to walk 10 steps, then plonk the butt on the floor and start tracing the lines on the tiles.
Not the best way to introduce the kid to. A little older first, to save the trouble for both parent and child. And wait we did, explaining the visit only in 2025, during a certain SG60 promo that clinched rather value-for-money tickets.
The play area is impressive, with lots of battery-draining installations from 2-storey slides to ball pits that go almost knee-deep. I agree with netizens commenting that Kiztopia is definitely more for children that are primary school and above.
You’d be wise to supervise your child closely at the physical play areas as older kids will rush and a charging bull will take out your stumbling toddler like a bowling ball striking a pin. Where the slides have signs mentioning that children below certain ages should not be using that, no staff was on site to ensure this. The ball pits also have their fair share of ruptured balls that await retirement, presenting sharp edges that could cut our little ones.
You should visit Kiztopia when your kids are the upper age range, then you can enjoy your phone me-time while your children get their workout.
