Best indoor playgrounds in Singapore
In land scarce Singapore, indoor playgrounds, to little ones, are sacred oases that offer them wonder, thrills and a great escape from the mundanity of their everyday living. And when we’re talking ball pit lakes with banana boats, five-storey jungle gyms and giant claw machines, it’s not hard to see why.
Whether for a play date or a wet-weather-plan-B, this comprehensive list of the best indoor playgrounds in Singapore will guarantee your kiddos copious amounts of fun while leaving them thoroughly spent for a good night’s sleep.

Image credit: The Joy Of Toys Singapore
Think indoor playgrounds, and it’s only natural that slides and ball pits immediately spring to mind. But over at The Joy of Toys, you’ll be met with a giant living room-esque space that’s packed to the brim with “old-school” wooden toys from building blocks and puzzles to dollhouses, kitchen sets and railway tracks. Perfect for little tots to hone their fine motor skills and cognitive development.
Image credit: The Joy Of Toys Singapore
Split into three sections – structured play, open-ended play and a toddler play space – The Joy of Toys offers tired parents some well-deserved respite on their cosy couches for the small sum of $18.

Image credit: Klook
Buds by Shangri-La isn’t the biggest contender here in terms of playscape or size, but there’s more than meets the eye. Entry to buds not only gives you access to their impressive indoor playground, but their 1,300 sq ft outdoor water playground, as well as access to their range of classes such as baking, art, song and dance, and storytelling.
Image credit: TripAdvisor
Expect to find a small but action-packed zone for babies and toddlers with mini ramps, slides, a ball pit, and suspended baby bouncers for pre-walking tots to get in on the fun. The Explorer Zone for kids aged 4 and up is a world of netted bridges, lava slides and ball pit rivers.

3. Amazonia – From $27 for 2 hours
When it comes to first impressions, the entrance of Amazonia doesn’t do a good job of taking one’s breath away. But hidden behind its fairly small entrance is this mammoth of an indoor playground. Having undergone a recent facelift last year, Amazonia now sports an ice age-themed interior that makes the space look brighter and more spacious.
Their iconic 8M four-wave slide is still the main highlight, but we guarantee your little ones will love the ballpit fountain and its labyrinth of pipes that “suck” balls up to a catchment area before they “rain” down on anyone below. Parents of infants will be glad to note that the toddler section is strategically located right by the entrance away from the bustle of the main play area.

Look forward to high-rise play structures with spiral slides, trampolines, scalable rock walls, foam obstacle courses and a ball pit moat that has an inflatable boat and banana boat for parent-powered rides.
Of course it comes with all the frills as well: a train that chugs round a track, a hinoki wood cube pit, VR basketball, dress-up stations, and imaginary play studios such as a grocery store, and a bakery. And if your play session runs past lunch or dinner, you can pop over to the adjacent Kith Cafe to load up on hearty Western fare.
