Indoor playground with ample activities to keep your kids entertained at affordable price. This is perhaps one of the few indoor where adults pay lesser. I'll say this is a cheaper alternative to kids amaze but much higher learning qualities. Socks are NOT a requirement for entry, only for 2-3 exhibits that requires the use when in play. There's a hidden corner further into the hall with activities for the older kids. There are camps and small workshops all year rs for various age group. Worth checking it out.
Parking isn't an issue, it's open air but there's a shelters pavilion for pickup/dropoff. It's also easily reached by bus from nearest interchange.
There are washroom inside but you can always re-enter. As of now, the only cafe/ restaurant is closed (13/11/19) but you can always walk down to McD at the sci center.
There are some gripes though. Some sections may be a bit rundown and it takes some time for the centre to renew/ repair. Lightings are dim so, dress your kid in brighter colours. Temperature may be a bit cold sometimes. The playground has quite a mix of age group and there are limited supervision/ control so you may find older kids playing at sections that may not be their age (likewise for younger kids) so parent supervision is must (After all, what is learning if parents don't participate). Be warned also that there's limited benches for adults to rest so you may often find us sitting on the floor.
Still it's really a great place that can keep kids occupied for hours without burning...
Read moreMy kids absolutely love Kidstop – especially my older child, who always asks to go whenever he has the chance. Although we don’t live nearby and only visit occasionally, it’s usually a great experience. Most of the staff are friendly, approachable, and wonderful with kids, which is something I truly appreciate.
However, our visit today was unfortunately marred by an unpleasant encounter at the entrance. I brought both my older child and my younger one, who is under 18 months old. When the staff member at the entrance asked if I had two tickets, I explained that my younger child is under 18 months. She gave me what felt like a forced or sarcastic smile and let us in, but then loudly said to her colleague, “This can pass off as 18 months old?” – seemingly referring to my child.
I found this comment extremely rude and uncalled for. Just because my children are a bit bigger in build (and honestly, I’ve seen many kids bigger than mine), it doesn't give anyone the right to question us in that manner, especially not so publicly. My younger one still has an obvious baby face and isn’t even speaking yet – and even if there was any doubt, a polite question or clarification would have been fine. The tone and manner in which it was done just felt very judgmental and unprofessional.
It would have been a 5-star review if not for this one staff member. I hope management can remind all staff to approach situations like this more tactfully and respectfully...
Read moreThoroughly fun and rather educational. There is a sandpit with "dinosaur bones" for excavating; "construction site" with workers' attire and balls for piling into a wheelbarrow, dumping with a claw machine or sending up a conveyor belt of sorts; a plane cockpit with pilot uniform; a space shuttle to pretend to steer; supermarket and attached kitchen with chefs' outfits; a farm-themed toddler play area where you can "milk" a cow and sort vegetables by shape; an "ant colony" area with spiral slide and ball pit plus large "Lego" blocks; and various other stations with facts about the seasons, aviation, a typhoon simulator, chairs with pulleys, etc. Toddlers were thoroughly absorbed for 3 hours. They also enjoyed the slide outside and admiring the model train chugging along near...
