The Polliwogs @ Suntec City : Review



Fans of The Polliwogs take note.

There is a spanking new The Polliwogs by the much love indoor playground franchise in Singapore. The Polliwogs opens its doors at Suntec City and we are all ready to roam the grounds for a review.

The Wackies @ The Polliwogs Suntec
The Wacky Duo are no stranger with indoor playgrounds. It is said wherever there is a new indoor playground in town, you would most likely find the notorious pair of brothers giving it a spin.
Don't believe?

Check out the latest playgrounds in town that we reviewed for 2014. The new indoor playgrounds open in Singapore for this year had been thoroughly tested by us, The Polliwogs @ Suntec City is the latest on the list. This is the 2nd Polliwogs to open its doors in 2014. The last one was opened early this year at Vivocity.

The Entrance
Shoe and Locker Storage area
Don't be fooled by appearance. The entrance may look deceiving small with a shoe and locker storage area at the side, but The Polliwogs @ Suntec City is the largest indoor playground for the franchise.

The Main Play Area
Slides
The size perception changes as we proceed inwards this elongated set up. The main play area has not one but three separate areas of play for children of different age group. For children age 3 and up , there will be 2 zones of playground structures to explore, ensuring that there will be abundance of space. For children under 3, there is a purposely build toddler area. As a bonus a new laser zone is added in the mix.

For those familiar with The Polliwogs play structure, the 2 level playground will have several familiar obstacles along with some new play ideas. The floor area would probably be one of the biggest amongst The Polliwogs chain. However due to height restriction, it may be a challenge for an adult to follow the children around. There are more than one occasion where I had to crawl on my fours just to keep up with the boys.
Bridge
Nonetheless , from a first hand experience, the areas are pretty well padded. Given that the boys are of age, I decide to leave them to their own devices and gave the license to roam.

If you have been to the other polliwogs, you would probably be familiar with the infamous ball pit. Step into the zone and be ready to get blasted by kids manning their menacing cannon guns that shoot foam balls in rapid succession.

LaserFury

This is a new entertainment for kids. If you like movies such as Mission Impossible, you would probably find this a delight. It was entertaining to see the boys trying to make their way around the lasers without getting 'hit' ala Tom Cruise. We think this is a great addition. However to play, it would cost $3 for a single run or $5 for a pair of runs.

Pssss.. We think it should be included in the fee given that one time is probably not enough for kids and this could rack up the cost of play. #makeitfree

Toddlers area (For children under 3)

For children under 3
For parents with younger children, it has always been a challenge going to indoor playgrounds. This is especially so when the play area for children under 3 is limited in size and features. Thankfully , The Polliwogs under 3 area is house near the entrance.The play area is build for more active movements as opposed to static activities. This enclose area has lighted slides, curvy slides, mini play structure area and several other play items that would surely entertain the little ones.

Unfortunately it may also entice the older children, so it may be prudent to educate the children on which area they are allowed to play. Maybe it should be made compulsory for parents to read the rules of play to the little ones before allowing their little ones to roam free without supervision.
Read the rules , so everyone can have a good time

As for parents who wants to stay close to the action and keep a watchful eye, the layout of the playground does allow that . For parents with younger children below 3, you might like to seat up front. For those with older children, choosing a seat near the back is perfect for close surveillance if needed.

Facilities
For the hungry parents (and kids ) , there is a decent menu featuring starters, mains, sides and dessert. Not too shabby for an indoor playground.
Enjoy your meal and Drink
Indoor playgrounds are fast becoming a popular place to host birthdays and parties. The Polliwogs has one huge room that can be partition to suit parties of various sizes.

You might even bump into Rocky, one of the mascots of The Polliwogs.

For mummies , there is a cozy changing/ nursing room on site.
Nursing room
But unfortunately here are no toilets in the playground. So do your business before you enter the playground. Thankfully there is a place to wash up after a meal or a run.

Compared to the other branches , you could sense that The Polliwogs are constantly improving with layouts and new features. From our experiences, The Polliwogs chain has always been well like by active children and this would not be an exception. Coupled with the fact that they are well maintain, it will be one of the place we will zoom in should the boys need an 'exercise' break.

  10. Do not go to Suntec City Polliwogs!
    Once you go inside, cannot come out without your child, not even for a while. If go out with your child, can only go out for toilet break, if go for lunch break, you cannot go back in. You cannot eat or bring outside food. What type of rules are these? The staffs there also not very good. The floor is too smooth, easy to fall down. Item there as old and dirty
