More great things to do and where to go this weekend with kids in Singapore!↓

Check Out Reopened Kiztopia Marina Square

kiztopia marina square hero

Kiztopia’s giant flagship indoor playground at Marina Square has reopened after a renovation – here’s everything you need to know before you visit from what’s new (giant bouncy castles to ball pits and twisty slides) to climbing structures, pretend play sections, sensory play and more! Read more about Kiztopia Marina Square here.


Visit New Rollersports Rink @ Punggol East

Rin punggol

This weekend take the kids over to Singapore’s largest rollersports rink! The fully sheltered obstacle rink at the Punggol Container Park boasts activities like rollerskating, skateboarding, scooting, tube sliding and pedal karts. The entry price includes use of all equipment apart from the pedal cars which are a top-up price. The highlight here is the tube slide (goes very fast!) and being able to try all the equipment if you don’t have it at home – though watch out it can get busy with kids on vehicles going in all directions (you’re meant to go anti-clockwise!). We reckon it’s best for newbies to the sports on offer plus kids up to age 8. Current promo price is $16/pass for 2 hours (U.P. $21). Read all about indoor playgrounds in Singapore here.
Deets: Rink @ Punggol East, Punggol East Container Park, 50 Punggol East, Singapore
