Fidgets!

One good thing about being a full-time Stay-At-Home-Mum is that I could bring my boys to explore fun places on weekdays when these places aren't that crowded. We went to a newly opened indoor playground at Turf City (#04-05) called Fidgets! It's opened daily at 9am and we arrived there at 9am after parking our car at Carpark B. The place is quite easy to find, and there were only a few angmo taitais with their young children during our 3 hours there.

In their big playground, they have several slides. Two covered ones, one metal one that allows one to slide into the ball pool and another two long slides which resemble those at big splash. Greg had great fun there, but I thought the long slides are pretty dangerous because they are quite steep and the speed is super fast when one slides down. If the kid loses his/ her balance from the sitting position, he/she could get some abrasions. This happened to Greg when he lost his balance once. Greg also almost had a fall when he was "scaling up" some squares fast to get to the top. Luckily I was there to hold onto him, otherwise he may fall right to the bottom where there was only a small cushion mat. Hence, if you are going there with your young kid, please supervise him/ her closely when your kids are climbing up. It'd also be good if he/ she could wear long sleeves and pants to protect his/ her elbows and knees. Parents may like to dress the same way to reduce unnecessary abrasions at the playground.kekeke.

Besides the big playground, they have two smaller playgrounds - one is for infants and the other is for kids below 4 years of age. There was also an area where the children could read books and another small play area where the kids could ride on some vehicles. I have also checked out their cafeteria - nothing fantastic. I ordered a regular cup of hot chocolate that cost me $5.60 (so expensive!) and Greg ate a slice of chocolate cake ($6.90!). Their menu consists of mainly cakes, muffins and beverages.

Overall, my verdict of this place is "ok lah! Can go if not so crowded!" I just thought the place can be quite dangerous especially when there are many bigger kids around. But well, Greg's verdict is "Mummy, I want to come back again!". Besides the climbing and sliding that he loves, I know he likes the ball pool where he could aim and throw the balls into a little hole, and then there's a machine that brings these balls back into the ball pool. Cool isn't it?
