The Opening of The Polliwogs@Robertson Walk

As I was saying my girls have yet to have fun in any indoor playground, The Polliwogs sent me one great invitation for their official opening of the second outlet at Robertson Walk.

Brilliant! I never been to any indoor playground. I mean, the girls never been to any of them. I gotto do a quick Google search to learn more about The Polliwogs *shame, shame*. The thing is, ordinary outdoor playground (like this one here) serves us tremendously well! Either for recharging energy purpose or releasing tension. Not to mention, there are great play areas in most shopping malls, too. I just need to allocate longer shopping time for supervision of the kids at play.

So, yes, we are rare parents for not bringing the children to indoor playground.

Anyway, Now that I have an opportunity to visit and experience the playground myself, I mean for the girls, why not? The 8,500 square feet of space, featuring state of the art play equipment and a comfortable cafe with free wi-fi enough to make me marvel!

Coincidently, The Polliwogs@Robertson Walk's official opening  was a date that I planned to meet my old friend, CS, for meet-up and for our kids to have playdate. SC was away for that entire week, I just have to plan something fun in between the whining and shouting.

So, I thought why not I ask permission to bring CS and her two kids with us for the event. I explained that we are old friends and hard to re-schedule for meet-up (since we are both mothers). Since our elder daughters are same age, playing in The Polliwogs will be more fun. At first I was worry for asking "too much" as the reply didn't come back to me promptly. But, I have luck this time, Maxine, the Marketing Manager, replied with a very positive tone to welcome my friend and her kids!

A climbing wall welcomes all.

I didn't want to make the girls ecstatic over the place prior to our arrival, especially Jiejie. Instead, I kept this very special playdate as a mysterious reward for her if she well-behaved for the entire week without daddy. The final destination was revealing only when she stand in front of the play zone.

She was thrilled! But I was not expecting her to behave so overwhelming. She dashed from one spot to another in such a hurry until I gave up in following her to find out what-so-fun about the playground itself. She must be over the moon and afraid that the fun would lapse very soon. Obviously I can't snap her a picture decently. She can't give me a minute of still, she was always in a hurry!

Little Bomber was following Jiejie everywhere she was. She looked a little lost to me, hence I took her out to the cafe area for a snack. She always need time to settle down in a new place.

Ahem, I think this is the place they call it "Ball Cannon and Shooting Areas". The kids stayed here for the longest. It must be fun to shoot the balls. The giant slides with ball pits fail to attract them, despite I called them over repeatedly. 

Strategizing in shooting?! Very serious instruction, listen carefully!

This was CS and the kids' first experience in The Polliwogs too. She thinks the admission charges are reasonable and she plans to ask her husband to visit Robertson Walk, where her children will have fun in The Polliwogs, while the adults take a break by sipping a glass of wine or two in any restaurant below. 

At the cafe, which is just few steps away from the play zone, CS and I chat and chat and well, we took turns to go into the play area to check the kids. Thank goodness it was an Official Opening! Food was catered, and it was yummy too (we must be starving!) Otherwise, we really don't know how to explain to the kids to stop playing for meal at least an hour?

Finally, Little Bomber soaked herself in the ball pit of the dedicated play arena for smaller children.

Oh, I do have one very decent picture of them (with few rounds of photo-edit) ;).

I thank The Polliwogs for their generosity to have us on their big day. It is not only for family and children entertainment and recreational place, it is an alternative for old friends with children to meet-up. CS and myself enjoyed the event (and the chatting) very much. Not to mention, the kids had a great blast! (We were last to leave the event.)

Effortlessly, indoor playground wins the heart of the girls! This is surely not the last time for us.
