Our guide to playgrounds caters to visitors of all ages and will make your family outing planning look like child’s play. From giant slides to retro-themed rock-climbing rolls, our island is filled with enchanting play spaces for kids and adults alike.
Canopy Park
The fun begins the moment you land in Singapore, with the Canopy Park at Jewel Changi Airport. Located on the sparkling lifestyle and retail hub’s fifth floor, this massive space is home to seven distinct playscapes that you’ll spend hour romping around in with your family.
Attractions at this 14,000-square-metre space include the sprawling Hedge Maze where families can engage in a game of hide-and-seek amidst lush greenery, and the Foggy Bowls, a dreamy space filled with mist.
The Manulife Sky Nets—a 250-metre-long web suspended eight metres above the Canopy Park—make an ideal play area for families looking to romp and bounce away the afternoon.

BOUNCE Singapore
A great option for parents with teenagers and energetic kids, BOUNCE Singapore is an indoor freestyle playground that’ll have your little one (literally) jumping for joy.
As its name suggests, the space is decked out in a range of trampoline-themed activities, as well as rock walls, obstacle courses and weekly activity sessions.
Team up with your fam and go head-to-head with other visitors in a friendly bout of dodge ball, or watch on with pride as your teenagers channel their inner Lebron James with Slam Dunk, a full-height basketball ring with trampolines to boost their air time.
To push the limits of your courage, you may want to embark on the Leap of Faith, a challenge that’ll have you jumping from a raised platform to grab hold of a suspended bag.
