[Personal] Celebrating Christmas at Pororo Park Singapore

This Christmas, I decided to make it a spacial one with my girl as we visited Pororo Park Singapore for the very first time. We had sort of visited most of the indoor playgrounds in Singapore and Pororo Park Singapore was one of which we had not yet explored. Thanks to Huggies for the complimentary one adult and one kid ticket which allowed us into the park for a 2 hour session.

We reached there about 11.45am and it was already crowded due to the holiday season. Upon entering, we headed straight to queue for the first session of the Pororo Christmas Musical happening at 12pm at the Tong Tong's Little Theatre. It was like an auditorium and kids could sit on the floor in front for a closer encounter to the stage. We were so excited when Pororo and his friend came out and Pororo was even dressed in his Santa suit. They sang and danced to a few Christmas carols and my girl was grooving to the beat to songs like Jungle Bells.

After the musical, we joined another queue outside as Santa Pororo was giving out Christmas presents to the first 100 kids. It was really good to receive a present from Santa Pororo however, we were not able to take a photo with him. It was a take and go kind of session to minimize the waiting time for the rest of the kids. We managed to sneak a few wefie which turned out to be blur.

 We went to explore the rest of the Pororo Park Singapore and these were the different sections inside.

Shark Ball Pool

My girl had a fun time "swimming" inside the shark ball pool filled with lots of blue and white balls. There was a big shark in the middle of the shark ball pool where kids could try to aim and throw the balls into its mouth and the balls would drop out from its stomach. My girl was amused by this but she was slightly too short to reach in and so with my help, we both tried to see how many balls we could feed the shark.

Pororo House

This was my girl's favourite place. Inside Pororo house, the lights were dimmed and there were colourful moving spotlights.  She loved this area so much that she literally treated it like her own house and was telling other kids, "no, you go and play the balls outside" as she wanted to hog the place. Oops. It was really amusing to see her behaved like that. She also started dancing and pretended to sleep on Pororo's bed.



Outside Pororo House, there was a small interactive corner where we could see ourselves on the TV screen.

Loopy's Cafe

We wanted to stay on for the daily carolling with bubble party and found out that I could extend my stay if I purchased at least $15 worth of food at the Loopy's cafe. Since we did not had lunch, I decided why not and I got ourselves a Mac and Cheese with fries and cookie to share. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, just the way my girl and I loved it.

Tong Tong's Little Theatre

After lunch, we went back to the theatre for the carolling with bubble party. It was pretty fun especially now my girl had overcame her fear of bubbles. All the kids seemed to go crazy and wanted to catch the bubbles. My girl, being one of the youngest there demanded me to carry her high up so that she could join in the fun to catch the bubbles too.

Hinoki Pit

 This sensory play area was filled with aromatic Hinoki wood that came all the way from South Korea which was safe for kids of all ages. There were a few toys and digging toy cars to play with. We didn't really like this area as I didn't like the feeling of stepping on the Hinoki wood.

Petty's Supermarket 

This was another play area which my girl enjoyed as she could pretend to shop and buy her favourite fruits and vegetables to whip up a meal for me.

Toddler Area

At the toddler area, she played with the soft gym like slide and rocking horse.

Poby's Play Gym

At the Poby's Play Gym, my girl had the chance to exercise her flexibility by climbing and sliding. I had a hard time chasing after her.

Pororo Express Train 

During specific timing, the Pororo Express train would start operating. It would go two rounds before the kids alight. Only the kids were allowed on the train and initially my girl was unwilling to leave me and got down the train. After much persuasion, she happily rode on the train and waved to me when the train passed by! Instilling some form of independence here as well.

Finally, since I've not bought any Christmas present for my girl, I decided to get it from the Rody's Toystore. I got a set of Tayo bus for her as this was her current favourite show on YouTube and I topped up to arrange for a Private Gifting Session by Santa Pororo! There's nothing more special than receiving a present from Santa Pororo in private and we finally got a chance to take a closed up photo with Santa Pororo. My girl was asked to closed her eyes and walked into the theatre to open her eyes and see Santa Pororo with her gift. Just look at the smile on her face and I know it was worth it. Definitely setting a high standard here for her future boyfriends. Haha.

I must say we spent a very memorable 4 hours+ inside Pororo Park Singapore which I hoped my girl would remember next time. The park was very clean overall and the food was delicious too. Definitely worth spending the time inside. As the theme park is based on a famous character like Pororo, kids would enjoy as the character comes to live and appearing before them. This is really something very exciting for them to look forward to.

We definitely hoped to be back again!

[Explore] Trip to Kiddomo Discovery Educational Indoor Playground at R&F Mall, Johor Bahru

Kiddomo Discovery Innovative Indoor Playground

Kiddomo Discovery is a newly opened indoor playground located just minutes away from the Johor Bahru custom at the R&F Mall. Designed for children to learn and have fun through play and technology, Kiddomo Discovery is suitable for kids from age 2 to 15 years old.

 Having won tickets for the whole family from a giveaway, I decided to organise it as a play date with CF and her family for a midweek gateway since it was a public holiday. Was really looking forward to this day as I love bringing my girl out to explore new places and I try to do this as much as I could on days when I'm not working.

The girls are already fascinated by the light projection at the entrance

Opps, the girls are standing at the wrong side! 

Yes, now they are on the right side! 

With 11 different experiences at Kiddomo Discovery, I planned to just let the kids have fun there the whole afternoon. After the check in at the counter, we proceed to keep our belongings at the lockers provided and we were each given a smartband to wear.

Lots of lockers to put our belongings and shoes. Only allowed to wear socks inside.

1. KIDDOMO HEROES STATION

 This is the start of our adventure as we scan our smartband to register, take a nice selfie and create our own superhero here. This customized superhero avatar will represent us and we will need to use the smartband to activate some of the games to accumulate points.

2. DISCOVERY STATION

This is the giant ball pool area with many giant hidden dinosaur eggs among the balls. By right, we are able to discover the dinosaur species when we use it to scan at the interactive scanners but the scanner was down on that day. My girl still enjoys herself a lot in the ball pool and trying to pick up the giant eggs.

3. COLLECTION STATION

This is the interactive station where we get to recall our customized superhero onto the projection screen and use our body movements to control it to collect quest items! It's may seems easy but it's actually quite tiring as we have to keep flapping our hands like flapping the wings to make the character fly. Had a friendly competition with my husband here and obviously he won cause he started playing first. Rena tried to imitate us but she's too short to be detected so not able to play the game.

4. FITNESS STATION

A very fun station that most kids will love as they crawl through the Musical Maza and slide down to collect galaxy stars to compete for the highest score. It's something like Fruit Ninja comes alive. My girl only tried it once and she was a bit afraid of it but the older kids can play this continuously.

5. POWER RIDE STATION

Ride on the stationary bike and travel through the different galaxy on the screen. This is more for the older kids too.

6. PERFORMING STATION

The station where we get to show off our singing skills, two microphones are provided and the song list is quite limited as they are mainly kids songs. We can also choose the background where we want us to appear on the big screen. Everything in the room was displayed live at the TV outside so anyone walking past the TV can actually see you dance inside the room. We felt that the tempo of the songs was a bit too fast for even the adults to catch up.

7. MAGIC STATION

More suitable for older kids to adults too. At this station, we have to fight the dragon with our magical wand.


8. CREATIVE STATION

Kids were able to choose from the four transportation template to colour and watch them magically come alive on the big screen after it was completed and scanned using their machine. This is the first time I see something like this and it's quite interesting.

9. KIDDOMO CAFE

A variety of food for adults and kids, we didn't get to try the cafe here. We ate at  Routine by Soon, a very modernized cafe. Check out my instagram post here.

10. BABY GYM (UNDER 3 YEARS OLD)

Baby gym is a safe to play area for babies under 3 years old.

11. PAMPERING STATION

 The pampering station is where the resting pods with USB charging port are available. This is also the station where we hang out at most of the time. There's also lots of toys here for the kids to play while the adults can rest in the pods.

Occasionally, workshops are also being held. While we were there, there was the slime making workshop and we participated in it.

Overall, I felt that my girl is still too young to get the full experience from this Indoor Playground.  Nevertheless, it was still a great outing with CF and her family and my girl enjoys the toys and slime workshop pretty much too. It gets pretty crowded during the later part of the day. The slime workshop was full house. We took a total of 200+ photos from my handphone and CF's handphone, thus it took me a while to sort out the photos.
