Happy to relive memories from past bisits years back when my older one was still a toddler. Surprised my yonger one at 9 years old enjoyed the space thoroughly - books, blocks, reading sessions, crafts. Staff patiently explains entry process which entails membership n check-in.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A calm, content-rich space that works particularly well for children who enjoy reading, crafts, and story time rather than high-energy play. Reviewers note that even older children β€” up to age nine and beyond β€” find the space engaging.

β€œLovely place for parents and children to spend quality time together. The team thoughtfully arranged content that is timely and meaningful for kids of all ages. It can get a bit chilly so would recommend bringing warm clothes for the little one.”

β€œThe place is ok. Shoes must be outside. The staff is friendly and helpful. They’re also coloring for kids and reading story books ( English and Chinese) and some cosy sit. The treetop there is nothing on top. Just need to register on sistic and can go in by scan QR code. Opening from 11am-6pm. Closing for cleaning is 2-3pm.”
