Living along the purple line of Singapore, the few malls we frequent are usually Nex Serangoon, VivoCity or AMK Hub. Lately, we discovered quite a gem: City Square Mall.

The mall projected itself as Singapore's first eco-mall and probably due to its distinct location, there were lesser crowd as compared to other neighborhood malls or malls in town. That said, it's definitely still an approved family-friendly mall because of the stores and services there. Few shout-outs will be Daiso, Kid's fashion apparel, Toys"R"Us with Babies"R"Us, Golden Village, TimeZone and the newly opened Decathlon. Most importantly, there's also an indoor playground: Fun N Laughter.

Even though the playground is tucked away in B2, it's hard to miss it because the entrance was filled with retail toys such as Pororo and Tayo Bus. Once the kids are attracted to the toys, they'll be able to catch a glimpse of the playground behind and....

Well, ours was not the case as we specially brought her over to visit the playground after chancing upon it in Bumble Bee Mum's blog post. The playground was relatively small, you can see all of what they have when you enter. First up, the toddler's areas included a mini ball pit and a glass-door partitioned room with mini slide and some toys. The room also showcased digital interaction games which were more suitable for bigger kids based on the skills required and reaction time. Bean bags were thoughtfully provided for parents to rest comfortably while the kids run around the room while playing the games.

Just beside the mini ball pit, there's a huge Snakes 'n' Ladders imprinted on the floor so parents and the kids can play their fill. A side note, that area was like a concourse area so many people were walking and running around and it was quite hard to complete a proper game. I was excited about the electric Tayo Bus that they had, sadly it was down for repair when we went there so she could only move the vehicle around manually, which was challenging because I had to follow her behind in case she run over somebody.


After following her through the active play area, I reckoned that this playground suits 2-3 yr olds best. The size was not too overwhelming for them yet enough to keep them engaged to climb over and over again. Most importantly, the active play structure had such a high ceiling that other than the times when I was climbing, I was practically walking upright throughout inside the structure. Talk about a pleasant surprise! Because of this considerate design, we totally had no complaints and issues following her around no matter how many times she climbed. Thumbs up!!


They also had air blasters/ball shooter where kids can aim and shoot at target boards, but all along she has no interest in them so I didn't even have enough time to pause and take pictures, she simply zoomed off.

Here's their Facebook page and admission rates:

Not sure if she was still feeling excited and hyped over the visit of a new playground, dinner was a breeze! X)
