You promised your child a play date outdoors but the erratic weather simply disagrees with your plans. What next? Where can you bring your child? Located in the heart of Downtown East and AMK Hub, eXplorerkid is a multi-faceted tactile indoor playground in Singapore worth exploring. Here are nine reasons why.

#1 A Magical Ball Pit

Suitable for children aged 3 and above

A hot favourite with the kids (and even the adults), this is unique ball pit is the one and only one in Singapore. At first glance, you might be wondering why the pit is filled with colourless translucent balls. Take a closer look and you’ll know why. The base of the pit is installed with coloured lights that change intermittently. Watch in awe as the balls ‘magically’ change colours.

#2 Mega Play

Suitable for children aged 4 and above

Ready to sweat it out? This multi-level play structure puts your child’s bursting energy to good use as they flex their muscles while navigating the Mega Play terrain. A fun and exciting test of children’s motor and mentor skills; they have to overcome various physical obstacles before they can proceed to the next level. In the Mega Play section, children can have the freedom to move however they feel and want.

#3 Of Shapes and Sand

Suitable for children aged 3 and below

Your little ones also get to exercise their fine motor skills at the Sand play area. Kinetic sand provides a unique tactile and mess-free indoor experience for children to shape mouldable sand into simple designs. This three-dimensional back-to-basics building toy engages the senses and encourages the creativity and innovation of young ones.

#4 Climb on at The Cliff (only at Downtown East)

Suitable for children aged 5 and above

Climbing up sofas, beds and chairs at home may be frowned upon, but at eXplorerkid @ Downtown East, aspiring mountain climbers can climb as much as they desire. Demonstrating agility, balance and hand-eye coordination, watch your budding mountaineers flex their muscles as they scale the rock climbing walls at The Cliff.

#5 Get High at Adventure Highlands (only at Downtown East)

Minimum height of 110cm required for upper level

Grip tight and watch where you put your foot! With concentration, balance and courage, watch your little one grab, step and scale their way across the suspension bridge at Adventure Highland, an indoor rope obstacle course. The revamped course now has two levels. The lower level is for the younger ones, where parents can walk alongside them. The upper level has new elements catered to those who want a challenge! Children, teenagers and adults are welcome to test their courage on this course.

Price: $5.50 per circuit (on top of the entrance fee)

Peak Days: Saturday, Sunday, Public Holiday, Gazetted School Holidays, PSLE Marking Days, 10am – 10pm

#9 Clean and Safe

If you wonder why all the balls in the pit seem to always be in pristine condition, that is because the damaged and deflated balls are checked and replaced regularly by the staff. All the balls are thoroughly cleaned once a week to ensure a safe and hygienic experience for all. Socks must also be worn by all visitors in the indoor playground.

To ensure the safety of every child, Michael, the centre manager of eXplorerkid at AMK Hub tells us he and his team of youthful and friendly staff take the turn to monitor the play area. Extra pairs of eyes are also allocated during peak periods. He and his team even befriended some of his young customers, who are regular patrons of the indoor playground.
