You no longer have to worry as we have a list of FREE playgrounds in shopping malls so you can get your shopping done while the kids can go ham at the playgrounds!
Get Out And Play
1. Westgate
Westgate Wonderland is what we’d describe as Disneyland for kids. Gear your kid up for this playground as it is touted to be the largest rooftop mall playground in Singapore!
This fantasy garden themed outdoor playground is divided into three playing areas suitable for toddlers and the older kids.
The tallest structure in this playground is a 10 metre tree house that kids can ascend via the criss cross nets inside the tree trunk.
There’s also a small rock climbing wall at the side of this tree house.
The water play area however is the highlight of this playground. You’ll see little water jets sprouting from the ground and even buckets of water that will tip over your kids!
There’s a drying station which is free to use so your kids can dry off easily. Just remember to pack some towels and a change of clothes for your kids!
Trust me, your kids will thank you and call you supermom/superdad for bringing them here!
