While Tickle Tickle (from $11) outlets aren’t the biggest indoor playgrounds around – they range from 1,506 to 2,368 square feet – they more than make up for their sizes with an innovative use of space. The branches, each of which has three play areas, bear different themes: the one in Delta Sports Hall has a candyland scheme, Hougang Sports Hall a cartoon village vibe, and Junction 10’s outlet has an interactive play area with a miniature boxing ring trampoline, revolving swing, spinning balls and rocking balls.
Although Tickle Tickle isn’t strictly for children under six – it accepts kids up to 12 years old – the space is cosy enough to accommodate younger children, even on play structures like ball pits, flying foxes, slides and obstacles. When they get tired of jumping around, there are plenty of pretend-play toys, ride-on vehicles and playhouses to exhaust the remainder of their energy.
