lebaran holiday july 2019 - superpark

we were supposed to go to jurong to play at some indoor playground at the science center area, but husband thought we should just play at some indoor playground at the mall. it's easier to find something to eat at the mall rather than at the science center. we could go there by grab, coming and going, so we don't risk getting drenched by the rain. we saw this playground when we were on our way to pororo park from suntec city, so husband think it's a good idea to just go there and play and if the kids are still not tired yet, we could go back to pororo park which is nearby.

this is the description from their website: designed with finnish heart and finnish know-how, superpark is a unique, purpose built, indoor activity park. people of all ages and sizes come here for movement, friendship and fun.

location: it is in suntec city mall #02-477 (north wing). if you travel by MRT, again, the nearest station would be promenade or esplanade.

ticket: it has two types of ticket, regular (weekday only) and superday (for weekend, public and school holidays). and there are 3 allocated times, morning mayhem (9am to 1pm, superday only), middle session (1.30 - 5.30 pm, superday only), after 6 pm (6-9pm, superday and regular), one day ticket (superday or regular). you can also check their calendar for superday or regular ticket here. we were there during school holidays, so we had to pay for the superday ticket, and we chose morning mayhem. price is the same for adults and children above 3 years, below 3 years is free. but it means that your kids won't get the band and you have to bring your own socks.

armband that you should wear all the time to get in and out the park as well as opening the locker

important details: you should fill the waiver form before getting into the park. there were ipads available there so you can fill the form and then the counter staff would check when you paid the ticket. there are two types of waiver period, for one time visit only or for a year.
under 8 years old must always be accompanied and supervised by guardian (18 years and above). and you can only use their grip socks while you are in the park.

once you fill out the waiver form and buy your ticket, they will give you the band to open the gate to go inside the park and to certain play areas. you can also use the band to unlock the locker to keep your shoes. there's a toilet near the locker area but you have to use your shoes inside the toilet. there are some restrictions guide like height restrictions inside the park.

one of the mini games inside, feels like arcade inside playground

activities: the park is a two-floors area, so you can go wherever you want inside the park as long as you have the band. it has 3 different areas, the game area, the adventure area and freestyle hall. please note that not all things in the same area is located on the same floor. for example, flying fox and freestyle area are both on 1st floor but the kid's gym and pedal car track is on 2nd floor.

the augmented wall climbing

things you can do in adventure area:
- flying fox: minimum 100 cm in height to play. our eldest pass the height measurement but our daughter didn't, but she was quite stubborn and kept waiting in line, so somehow the staff there got pity at her and let her play. usually, the staff would just push the line so your kid could slide to the other end, but this time he hold the line along the way up until the end for our daughter. i was totally grateful that he did that for her. she fell at the end when the line stopped, and it made her realized that she was not tall enough and didn't ask for more when my son wanted to go the second time.
- freestyle area: it has trampolines, foam pit and climbing walls. no height restriction. unfortunately, when we were there, it was closed for maintenance.
- kid's gym: maximum height is 100 cm. this area contains fun and educational games for whole family, like small ball pool, blocks and small wall climbing.
- kid's adventure city: this is a small play area, it has climbing equipment, towers and tunnels. there's some digital activities as well. no height restriction. when my kids play here, i have to make sure they go the same way, or i might lose one kid or two. in fact, i even lost my daughter for several minutes since there are some exits from this area, and i was there alone without husband. totally a bad idea. so i didn't see when she slipped outside the area. fortunately, we found her after a while. oh, and totally accompany your kids since the slides might be too tall for them.
- pedal car track: minimum 100 cm to ride the pedal car. since i only have one kid that pass the criteria, we didn't play that one. though my son was very grumpy when i told him perhaps next time we could try.
- sliding mountain: basically it's a small mountain so your kids can hike and then slide back down. my kids love playing here, even my little one.
- tube slide: height restrictions minimum 100 cm maximum 200 cm. the slide is not that high, but you have to bring your tube up to the top yourself and then the staff on top will help you getting in your tube and slide. this one is quite popular so make sure your kids are patient enough to be in the queue.
- ninja track: minimum 100 cm. though there's a staff guarding this place, my kids could play there, all of them! my youngest is not even 100 cm. he just made sure that i kept my eyes on him. and let me tell you, it was a mess there. kids played all over the place, even though there was a sign that it was supposed to be one way, but kids went all over the place and the staff was helpless.

super pinball 

things you can do in game arena:
- baseball: minimum 140 cm, but it was closed for maintenance that day.
- hot stepper: no height restriction. basically it's just a small game. somehow it was different with the one picture in the website. when we were there, the game was to step on the the path that got lit as quick as you can. like some arcade game.
- street basketball: minimum 95 cm. it was a mini basketball field, but when we were there, there was a group playing and my kids were not patient enough to wait, so we skipped. i totally can't say anything about the rules.
- superball: so, this was a group play. two groups tried to shoot the screen behind the opponent group using the balls. there was 3 minutes limited time play. if there were no other people waiting in the line, then you could play for some more. but if there were people lining up, you should finish the game after 3 minutes and give turn to others.
- superbowling: basically it looked like a game in arcade, just bigger. you used ball as big as basketball and tried to knock all the pins on the screen down. again, this was limited and it was exactly like an arcade. three balls and you're out.
- superhoop: this was supposed to be like basketball play in arcade, but i didn't remember seeing this one. no height restrictions though.
- super pinball: no height restrictions. this was a pinball play, but much bigger. you got to kick the ball to hit the target with poin. just remember not to step over the restrictions line or you'd get the game over instantly. this had limited play time just like the super ball. and the ball was quite heavy. even i got hurt kicking the ball wrong. so keep in mind when your little kids tried to kick the ball.
- robo keeper: height restrictions minimum 100 cm. you had to kick the ball passed the robotic goalkeeper. it was crowded so we didn't play.
- iwall: no height restrictions. it was an interactive game and exercise game at the same time. it had two players.
- valojump: couldn't say much because i didn't see this one.

things you can do in freestyle hall:
- augmented climbing wall: this was a virtual climbing wall. so there were several types of game you can play, but the kids didn't get it. they just chose whatever they like and play all they want. you're supposed to take turn to play this, but kids were just scrawling around the "screen wall" and play together. some would get bored and leave eventually. supposed to be minimum 95 cm.
- gymnastic area: again, couldn't say much because i didn't see this one too.
- skate and scoot world: skateboarding place, minimum 100 cm.
- trampoline platform: minimum 120 cm. this was very popular too, it was very crowded.
- superclimb: minimum 100 cm. quite serious wall climbing.
- street soccer: the name is pretty obvious. and no, we didn't play there.

this was a good place for your kids to get some exercise and fun, but i can't say that it was for all ages. i think the place is more suitable for kids 7 years and up. they would probably pass almost all the height restrictions, so they would have more fun. and they would get the rules. while young kids will most likely to just play all they want and not obeying the rules. plus the height restrictions will make them couldn't enjoy the whole park. again, since this is indoor, it's a great option for rainy days. and it is located inside a shopping mall, so if you're hungry after playing here, there are lots of food option nearby. i would like to go back here when the kids are older though so they can enjoy the park more. and probably with friends.
