Bouncetopia by Kiztopia (Plantation Plaza)

Bouncetopia by Kiztopia is an inflatable playground on level four of Plantation Plaza in Tengah, tropical-themed and built for children from toddler age upwards.

It splits into three zones, each with its own character. Raby Tiki Oasis sets sea-creature inflatables — a shark, a dolphin — alongside a swinging beam and a ladder up to a steep slide. Bell’s Beach Bonanza is the one most children make for first: a beach house under palm trees with a ball pit and basketball hoops, and a slide off the house itself. Happy’s Jammin’ Tribe Paradise hides a slide behind a tree-branch climb, with a pink teepee and a giant guitar around it. Off to one side sits a sandpit filled with hinoki beads rather than sand, which stays cleaner and shakes out of clothing more easily, and a corner of beanbags where parents end up. An hour is $19.80 and two hours $28.80, so the second hour costs about half what the first does — worth taking if you have driven out for it.

Tickets booked through the pink button on this page come in cheaper than paying at the door.

Bring grip socks or buy a pair at the door, because nobody gets on the inflatables without them. Additional adults are charged on top of the child’s ticket, so a visit with both parents costs more than the headline suggests. The reason to choose this over the older Choa Chu Kang branch is room: it rarely fills up, and you can let a child run without steering them around anyone else. It opens at 10am every day and closes at 8pm, an hour later on Fridays and Saturdays.
