Our virgin trip to Fidgets @Turf City

I took the girls to Fidgets on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. Fidgets is located at Turf City.

Fidgets Is open every day from 9am to 6pm and stayed open on Chinese New Year too!

We decided to check the place out since we've heard much about it but have not been to the place before. I would say that the place is a little out of the way especially for those without their own transport. We were wondering how on earth we were going to find the place since Turf City is a big area. Thankfully there were Fidgets signboard displayed to lead us to the indoor playground.

Upon reaching Fidgets, we notice that majority of those there were expats and their children. When we went to the counter, we had to sign a form. We were also given a card to hold on to. You make purchases using the card. At the end of the day when you are leaving the place, the card will be scanned and it will give you the total bill that you need to pay (entrance fee plus any food or drinks purchased from the shops within Fidgets). By the way, you have to bring your own socks to enter Fidgets.

As soon as you enter, you see the rest and relax area with cafes right in front of you. On the right, it is the smaller children's play area. On the left is the bigger children play area. I took my smaller girl to the toddler play area. I thought that it was good that they indicate the age group that a particular play area caters to. However, as there was no one monitoring whether the rule was being adhered go, a lot of older kids also end up playing in the toddler's area. So parents of younger children will still need to monitor their toddler to make sure that they don't get trampled by the older ones.



Hubby took my elder girl to the older kids' play area. The area is much bigger. What I like about it is that it has like an obstacle course for the kids to go through as they play there.



There is also a rest area for parents and kids to chill and have a bite. There is a tv monitor showing surveillance of the play area.

Overall, my girls enjoyed it there. My take is that Fidgets is smaller than Explorer Kid at Downtown East. There are things that they can improve on like having a staff to monitor that kids play in the area designated for their age group (if not, might as well remove the sign and let anyone play anywhere they like). They should also have a locker for parents to store their belongings. More surveillance cameras needed if kids are going to be left playing on their own as I saw two kids strangling each other (with their parents nowhere in sight!) and I had to tell them to get off each other. The price is affordable and ultimately, you can relax while your kids enjoy!
