1. Get Vertical

Climb, hang, swing, slide, run and jump around this vertical playground with your kids called a Wallholla. Encased in a three-storey high metal grid cage, the Wallholla is made up of undulating ribbon-like layers. Suitable for children aged five to 12, kids can walk on the wavy layers at some points, or scale them at others. As they navigate their way through the cage, some surfaces change to become rope mesh or simply gaps. Parents on the lean side can join in the fun too.

2. Man Your Battle Stations

The Battleship Playground is predominantly made of wood and comes complete with gun turrets, smoke stacks, propellers and even a rudder. To scale onboard, there are three entry points. The first is by climbing up a rock wall, the second is via a rope ladder and the third is through an escape hatch at the side of the ship. Designed for children between six and 12 years old, younger children may find it a bit more difficult (and intimidating) to scale the rope ladders to go up onto the decks. Once up, expect more crawling and climbing to get to the slides. The front part of the Battleship is a hollow structure with tilting platforms for kids to demonstrate their agility.

3. Visit Farm Animals For Free

4. Revisit The Past

Reminisce your childhood days with junior at Children Little Museum, a quaint gallery located at 42 Bussorah Street. There’s an interactive barber shop display, a mock-up of an old-school classroom, and a vintage mamak shop outside the museum selling tikam-tikam stuff from yesteryear. Plus, toys you’ll want to play together with your kids.

Open every day from 11 am to 9 pm.
