Whydo kids andtheirparents loveAmazonia?
The play centre’s General Manager DOMINIC
TAN reveals the many reasons.
What is Amazonia?
An air-conditioned play centre is
a brilliant option for restless kids,
especially in Singapore’s heat, and
Amazonia has loads of play and
learning opportunities. Family play
is encouraged in every area and
parents can often be seen braving
the eight-metre slide and 10 metre
climbing maze – it’s all about plain
old-fashioned thrills. With 9,500
square feet of play space, Amazonia is
a unique environment where children
aged three to 12 can do much more
than have fun (though that is essential
too!).
You’ve been open five years;
what’s new?
The party rooms had a revamp last
year and we installed some 4D-seaters
that the kids and parents really enjoy.
Unlike typical mini-tables and chairs,
kids can sit in an actual purpose-built
structure. So far we have an F1 Grand
Prix racing theme, and a princess
carriage in the castle room – it’s
adorable, and the girls love it.
Soon we’ll be launching our
i-Dinosaur augmented reality
experience. This uses technology
in the form of an app, and when
kids move through the play centre
they point to a special series of
books and flash cards. The pictures
really come alive. It’s interactive,
too, as the kids can move the animal
images with their fingers.
What’s the most popular part
of the centre?
Definitely the four-wave eight-metre
slides – it’s for adults and kids alike,
and families love to see who reaches
the bottom first. The Amazonia
experience is really focused on families
playing and spending time together.
It’s endearing to see parents really
enjoying the slides – they lose their
inhibitions and become childlike again.
We hear you do amazing
birthday parties; tell us a bit
about them.
We’ve recently added a new themed
birthday party that is very popular
because it includes the chance to
touch and learn about animals. The
Wildlife Encounter Party includes
a 45-minute experience with me, a
trained wildlife presenter, in which a
juvenile crocodile, an albino python
and colourful birds take centre stage.
Kids learn fun facts about wildlife
and I relate their experience to a
bigger Amazon experience. The whole
party is animal-themed, including the
decorations and tableware – even the
food. It’s now open for bookings for
kids up to 12 years of age.
