13 Free Indoor Playgrounds in Singapore
Fun doesn’t have to be over just because it’s too hot out or there’s a thunderstorm. Here’s our list of 13 free indoor playgrounds in Singapore to hang out with the kids!
Singapore’s either too hot or too wet. Between the 30-something degree heat and thunderstorms, playing outdoors may not always be feasible. Thankfully, many malls in Singapore have indoor playgrounds and air-con! The best part? Most of them are free! Here’s our pick of 13 free indoor playgrounds in Singapore where you can hang with the kids.

Causeway Point
West-siders, rejoice! Causeway Point has not one, but two free indoor playgrounds. There’s a safari-themed playground for toddlers, with different animals that little ones can climb and explore. The floors are padded, making this playground suitable even for crawling babies!
The second play area is a train-themed playground best suited to older kids. They can choose to go up a flight of stairs, or climb up a pole before sliding down! There are also two slides to choose from – perfect to keep the kids occupied while you shop.
Where Level 2, Causeway Point, 1 Woodlands Square, Singapore 738099
IMM
If you live in Jurong, you’ll be glad to know that IMM has a large dry and water play area for your children! The dry playground is sheltered, perfect for really hot days or when it’s drizzling outside. This play area features shorter slides for younger ones, and higher ones for older kids who want more excitement.
The ground is padded, making it suitable for babies or younger children to crawl around without fear of injury. There are also balancing beams for kids who want to test their balance! A small rock wall also offers more challenge for older kids accompanying their siblings.
Where Level 3, IMM, 2 Jurong East Street 21, Singapore 609601

If you’re dining at Food Republic at 313 @ Somerset, you won’t have to worry about keeping the kids occupied. Just outside the food court is a sheltered play area for children, so parents can have their meals uninterrupted.
This play area is more suited to younger kids, with padded floors and low equipment for them to explore. There’s also a small playhouse at the end of the playground! The playhouse features interactive panels that’ll help keep your tots entertained. If that isn’t enough, there are coin-operated rides on the opposite side of the playground, too!

JEM is one of the most popular shopping destinations amongst parents who live in the West!

This playground also features trampolines for kids of all ages! We predict your Kiddos spending lots of time bouncing up and down. If you’ve got younger ones, don’t worry. The play area also features little tunnels in the ground for crawling, and a small fountain for them to explore.
