One of the places we brought the kids to during the holidays was an indoor playground called Go-Go Bambini. When you’re a parent, you’re always on the lookout for places to unleash your kids without worrying that they will cause destruction to themselves or property. And indoor places are particularly important when it rains or you’re thoroughly sick of seeing giraffes for the 25th time.
As far as the kid’s play area went, it was nice to finally find a (relatively) safe, confined place for the kids to run wild while we took a breather over some munchies. There were slides, tunnels, ball pools, climbing thingeys and most importantly, lots and lots of padding to cushion those nasty falls.
Tru was in playground heaven, climbing though things, over other things, across things that looked somewhat precarious, going “Mom, look at me dangle out of this manhole SEE SEE I WON’T FALL OUT AND BREAK MY NECK.”
Kirsten was far less adventurous, preferring to take cover in a secluded ball pool area so she wouldn’t get trampled by the horde of water buffalos thundering around her. I think she mostly just wanted to get out of the danger zone and chill somewhere safe.
The food was a real bummer though. Let’s not talk about the price because I don’t expect this kind of place to be cheap. We all know that food at kid places are notoriously overpriced. I just expect food that’s edible and not ALL FRIES. Everything came with a huge pile of fries, which of course Tru was thrilled with since it’s his dream to eat up all the fries in the world.
He took a bite of the spaghetti and spat it out which got me all upset until I took a bite of it myself and spat it out too and he was like “No no, mommy cannot spit out food.” Thanks, spaghetti, you just made me lose all credibility.
It was pretty much the same story with the sandwiches and fish n chips. I mean, it’s probably not a deal breaker, but if you do go down, maybe you should discreetly pack your own snacks for the kids to munch.

The last pic of Tru is soooooooooooooooooooo COOL!
MR FBI!!!
Are your family there today? I almost head this indoor playground today. What a waste!
@sunflower, I went last week when Kel was on leave so this is kinda a back-dated post. I hope you packed food along!
@Daphne, Thanks for telling me to pack food which I did sometimes. We been there a few times.
Been wanting to try this place since Dempsey is so much nearer for me than Pasir Ris.
Maybe I will let her play first then pop over to the restaurants nearby for food.
Tru got really cool sunglasses!

@Lazymummy, I cannot reiterate how bad the food is so yup, good idea
The sunglasses are from that Island Life shop at sentosa. I think it’s like $6.90 or something only.
He actually put on the glasses himself in this pic for a posed shot!
You actually stayed there for lunch? Hehe, I usually will prefer to venture elsewhere, these play gyms are known for their pricey and not too good food. Plus I am not really a fun of playgyms as the entry fees are not that cheap…I am just a cheap mom :P Kyle haven’t been to Bambini before, looks like a fun place..we have tried the rest like Fidgets, Polliwogs.

@Rachel, Actually we wanted to have lunch while the kids played concurrently somewhere else but we were told that once we stepped out of the place we couldn’t come back in! Not without paying, anyway.
Polliwogs is at East Coast, isn’t it? I might check it out, much nearer for me..
Is this a safe place to go? My husband never allow the children to go such places because he say he got to know somewhere that they never clean up the place. Those balls are covered with the children saliva and there is high chance of getting HFM disease.
@YH, They have signs everywhere saying the place is 99.999% disinfected and germ-free. But I would say yeah the risk is there..
@Daphne, Ok I will let my son go some time. Not my daughter.
Go go bambini is a nice place to hang around with the kids, though i prefer polliwog. :)
@Mummy cendrine, Alright I am DEFINITELY checking out that place. I hope the food’s a lot better though..
Heard great things about it! Looking forward to checking it out soon. :)

Try Fidgets. It’s at the Turf City. It’s actually better because there are more play area for the younger kids and also the space is bigger. Just that trying to find the way to the place is like …. get someone who knows that place to bring you there for your maiden trip.
