Fidgets City @ Marina Bay Sands : Review
Fidget City |
Over the weekend, we were at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
Just in case you are wondering, we are not there for the Casino, rather we had a sudden urge to explore the 'new' playground that we had spotted over our last few trips there.
The playground is called Fidgets City . This is the smaller sister of Fidgets World, the massive indoor playground located at the Grandstand.

Patch up Trampoline |
We had a serious craving for trampoline since our last playground visit, thus it was no surprise that this is where we head to first when we entered. The trampoline is bigger than usual and fits up to 4 small kids jumping in it. This was probably the highlight of the visit.

Given its prime location among premier retail names, this spot is simply not living up to it's location glamorous setting. With increase competition with more innovative play stations AND higher expectation of parents (especially on safety), it is about time Fidgets City gets a reboot.

Hi! Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. The equipment at Fidgets City isn't "new". It seems they took over the previous tenants called "Jumperzillas". If you do google the previous tenant, you will be shocked to notice that all the equipment looks spanking new, and there were many more kids in those photos, and note that exactly the same play equipment (nothing new, nothing added) is now in Fidgets City. It's just a rebranding exercise, but with no refurbishment or upgrading of equipment.
ReplyDeleteI've been there twice, once with my daughter, and another time with my wife and daughter (just to show my wife where it is). I doubt I'll be there again. It costs $1 more than Fidgets World, but is limited to 1 hour of play (which is more than enough, considering the limited range of play equipment).
I was also appalled by chatting with the staff that it was "common practice" that parents of kids who were "regular" there would drop off the kids, and go do their own shopping in MBS.
THEN IT MADE SENSE. Fidgets City (aka Jumperzillas) was really just a drop-off place for kids within MBS, limited to an hour (after which the kids would get really bored). And parents would come back to pick their kids up after their chores.
I won't be back - to Fidgets City.
Hi Melvin.
DeleteThanks for your comments. When we were there we did see a few kids on their own. I do agree that this is more like a drop off place for parents who wants a little r & r. Honestly I do not see anything wrong with it. However it is because of it, I would think safety would be rank higher in this playground. With the worn out equipments, it just did not project that image.
