Kidz Republic Indoor Theme Park - JBCC — Attraction in Johor

This is one of the best playground that I ever been too.

This is a dinosaur theme playground so the kids will definitely enjoy it. I feel that they should rename to Dino land.

Pro spacious and clean: they have many stations for the kids to play. The staff maintained and clean quite well. Every 30mins I will see the staffs cleaning the table or tidying up the place

lots of sensory play: it is suitable for all ages.

First, they have big blocks. I like it because the blocks can really form a few brick houses. And it’s so spacious.

Second, the playground is suitable even for parents to accompany their kids. This is really important especially if you need to accompany your younger kids like below 4yo to play. You don’t have to bend or crawl and worry that you get a backache, if you get want I mean. That’s really important for parents I feel.

Third, they got this creative zone where you can sit down and colour the dinosaurs and upload into the screen. We really like that cause it always give the kids a quiet time too.

Fourth, the mini stone sensory play aka fake sand. My kids spend them quite sometime cause it’s so soothing to sit there. And they also have this “find the fossil” so I do see some older kids digging to find it. Kids gathered together to match the fossils. I like the part that you can also interact with the kids and help them find too.

Fifth, they got this trampoline corner and obstacles course where you can “rock climb” and jump into a pool of soft blocks. It’s fun for older kids cause it gives the Adrealine feel.The trampoline also have different age group so it’s very safe to play

Sixth, they also got this ball pit for the kids. They got this digital screen that you can throw the ball and hit some creatures. It’s really fun. The only downside is that the entrance is really small. Cause it’s caged. But I do understand that it’s because the ball will not fly out when you throw.

Seventh, the manual go kart corner. You can get those “car” and have a race with your kids. Even my 2 yo girl is able to sit and play it.

Last, it’s the dinosaur book. It’s big giant digital book that you can flip and understand the dinosaurs. For a true Dino lover. I wish that it can be lower to kids height instead cause I have to carry my kids.

staff at their designation. You can see that there’s 1 staff at one corner to oversee the station. You will feel at ease cause they will be someone looking over it.

stroller parking: they have a designated area for strollers. Quite spacious.

luggage and bag: they don’t have a locker. But they have a corner for you to book your bags

facial recognition : the ticket is a day pass. They implement this facial recognition where you can return again

Cons you only can use credit card to pay it. No cash. I prefer that they can allow using cash. I almost couldn’t enter cause I don’t have credit card that can be used overseas. Something that you want to consider. There’s option to purchase online also.

facial recognition: this is a down point cause it takes times to take photo and upload the photo. So if you are a family of 4, you have to upload the photo one by one and it takes time

I feel that they should capture the photo on the spot when we purchase the ticket at the counter instead of asking us to use our phone to take photo? It’s like a waste of time after queuing and then have to find the e ticket and upload the photo one by one.

I would suggest that before heading, purchase the ticket online and upload the photo first. You can save time from Queuing at the counter. There is no wrist band given so it’s only your face recognition to enter. It will be more efficient that way. You can enter in the morning to maximise too.

I will definitely bring my kids to come and play here again. It’s a gem find. Something that you won’t be able...

First and the last time here. Spacious playing area but lacks variety and novelty. Cleanliness can be improved.

Let's start with the good part.

1. It's located in Komtar JBCC, very close proximity from CIQ.
2. Affordable tickets, and adult tixs are payable. Counter staffs were rather patient that day.
3. It is recommended to purchase your tickets online before going because they DO NOT ACCEPT CASH. And from past reviews, some encountered problems whilst purchasing tickets on the spot.
4. Aplenty of space to put your shoes, but no lockers for bags.
5. Parents resting area is above the Playground, providing bird's eye view of your kids playing.
6. Play area is rather spaced out, doesn't feel cramp or claustrophobic.

And, onto the unpleasant part.

1. Despite purchasing tickets online beforehand, we still had to give more details and everybody had face snapshots taken before entering. I wonder if all these extra steps could be removed or be streamlined.
2. Checking in and out of playground was via facial recognition. Probably the traditional wrist tags would save all the redundant trouble.
3. Toilets are situated outside, a good 200m walk at least.
4. This was previously AngryBirds playground and they have reused most of the stuffs. Hence, it doesn't feel clean and new at all.
5. Although it has just opened its door, it isn't very well-maintained. Carpet is visibly dirty and worned out.
6. THE WHOLE PLACE DOESN'T FEEL CHILD FRIENDLY:- a) Play structures were slippery, as an adult I find it tricky to have socks on while climbing up and down the stairs especially. My toddler almost fell down the slippery stairs. The non-slip tapes on the steps should be placed in a more strategic position. b) Unlike other playgrounds, they don't fall proof and bump proof the whole place. Everywhere just feels very "hard" and dangerous for younger kids. There were even sharp corners and edges around the stairs and railings. c) Floors are not padded. It's literally carpeted throughout only. d) Despite its size, it gets rather boring quickly. We personally didn't find it very fun in here.
7. Staffs working inside don't look enthusiastic or happy.

I'll recommend to buy the after-6pm tickets that...

Firstly, to enter, you can either buy tickets online or on the spot with the staff helping you. Next, we each need to take a photo of each of us for entry and exit purposes, which I thought was a very convenient and foolproof method. The process at the start was a little long, but not unusual for indoor playground though. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Next, scan your faces individually and enter! The tablets were placed at 2 heights for both adults and kids conveniently.

Thirdly, just have fun exploring, as kids or adults!

The indoor playground is huge as compared to Singapore's ones, with many different zones, suitable for all ages. Most importantly, on the Wednesday we went, it wasn't crowded at all, so we got to play everything at our own pace.

The price was attractive too - RM30 for each child, RM10 for each adult, unlimited entries between 10am to 6pm on the weekday when we were there.

Because of the cheaper price tag, and the unlimited entries with face recognition, parents can take turns to go run errands while one of them play with the kids inside, and also done out for their meals!

Nonetheless, we will...
