Playgrounds for big kids: Giant slides, mazes and bouncing nets at Jewel's Canopy Park

SINGAPORE - An air-conditioned playground? An elevator ride up from Pink Fish restaurant, where I can tuck into salmon burgers afterwards? Three floors above Tokyu Hands store, where I can load up on skincare and stationery? Sign me up.

The 14,000 sq m space is framed by a sparkling glass canopy and landscaped with luscious foliage. It has giant slides, enchanting mazes, and bouncing nets to delight young and old - and I am somewhere in between. Nearby, toddlers play amid puffs of cloud and mist at the Foggy Bowls - four concave bowls that emit mist, creating a dreamy setting.I snap lots of photos of the animal-shaped topiaries at the Topiary Walk. The cheery elephant and flamboyant peacock are massive draws, but my favourite is a red, open-jawed crocodile, crafted from a mix of fresh and artificial plants and preserved moss.

Another highlight is the Mirror Maze. With plants hanging overhead, it feels less claustrophobic and easier to navigate than the typical horror-themed house of mirrors at amusement parks. I confess I have been to more than my fair share of those.
