[Playground] eXplorerkid @ Downtown East
Tuesday, September 08, 20152015 was a tiring year with all the indoor playgrounds in trend, eXplorerkid @ Downtown East was on our to-go list too.
Situated in E!hub Downtown East, it's ideal for families to pay a visit during their stay in D’Resort because it's just next door. However, its location is in the rather extreme end of our little red dot so it's pretty hard to attract families in the west. That said, since our bus trip down doesn't take too long, we decided to head down!
It was a welcoming sight when we got there because the place is so spacious you can see everything inside even from the entrance.
1) Adventure Highlands

This is the first play station just by the entrance, I was quite impressed about this idea because I've always been a fan of obstacle course so I'd also like my child to have a try in a safe and comfortable environment first before going outdoors. It's good mixing this concept into an indoor playground because the kids get to experience something different from the usual active play. The course has 2 levels and I was so excited to let her try the lower level but, turned out she still wasn't brave enough. Let's hope we can get some pictures of her trying out the course soon!
Additional charges apply:
- Adventure Course (upper level-minimum height requirement is 110cm): $6.50 per circuit
- Junior Course (lower level) : $5.50 per circuit
2) Mega Play
This is their multi-level active play structure, it has quite a variety of obstacle to crawl through and also has 2 slides, one of it is really fast and fun (the open one)! Parents with kids below 2 might need to be extra careful because the small kids might slide down too fast and fall flat on the cushion upon landing so it's better to sit together with them. After a few tries, she wanted to slide down alone and was enjoying it so much! There's also The Cliff right at the back of the structure play which is a rock-climbing wall. However most of the holds are missing so it seems like it's not well-maintained and just for show.
3) Lit Ball Pool
This was a first too because all other playgrounds with ball pit were using the normal colored balls. The lighting shone through the transparent balls so the ball pit was quite pretty. That kept her occupied for quite a while.
They also have an art and craft area where kids can do a variety of artwork at an additional cost. Few examples were canvas art painting, coin box painting, key-chain painting and sand art. However, there wasn't a clear price list done up so we had to ask what kind of artwork were available and how they were priced individually. It'd be more efficient if they can just do up a simple list for a clear view.
All-in-all, she had a great time playing in eXplorerkid @ Downtown East because of the variety of aspects here. To be honest, it's a waste that the location is remote else it should be able to attract more crowd than this. That aside, I'm also grateful that it's not as popular as other playgrounds in central because she can then enjoy playing without fighting for space! They have another branch in AMK Hub but it's a no-go.
