SINGAPORE - The first time Teddy Liu visited Kiztopia indoor playground in August last year, he was one year old and too young to go down the slides by himself.
However, the sudden and extreme disruption has caused a trail of casualties, most famously KidZania Singapore on Sentosa, which exited in June after four years here. Unlike the small play areas provided by mall developers as a pit-stop during shopping, such indoor playgrounds tend to be larger, with themed zones, paid entry and, often, an edutainment aspect. Some also have cafes where adults can enjoy me-time or attend to work while their kids play.
Pororo Park Singapore, Tayo Station and Amazonia Singapore have run videos on social media showing how they clean and disinfect their equipment thoroughly. Amazonia has also limited adult access to several of its play features and slashed capacity from 180 people previously to 30 a session now. Ms Carolyn Chia, general manager of Pororo Park Singapore and Tayo Station, says they are fully booked most weekends, with a capacity limit capped at 25 per cent.
The playground is also reaching out to pre-schools and enrichment centres to sell its school care packages and exploring mini programmes on social media app WeChat for Chinese-speaking families. This month, it will launch a healthy corn cereal snack, Magic Crunch, featuring its characters. Postpone your visit if you or your child has mild symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, fever or diarrhoea or if you are recovering from them. Make sure your child wears a mask during play, although toddlers below three can don face shields, she adds.Deals at playgrounds While several indoor playgrounds have closed down because of the Covid-19 crisis, those that reopened are wooing families with enhanced safety measures and promotional deals.
Admission: At Pororo Park, toddlers aged 12 to 23 months pay $24.50, while older kids up to age 12 pay $29.90. Adults pay $6 each. At Tayo Station, toddlers pay $16 on weekdays and $20 on weekends. The rate is $24 and $28 respectively for older kids. One adult enters for free. Up to 35 people can enter during each time slot at Bukit Batok. The Khatib outlet will allow up to 50 individuals when it opens.
