Please do not ask the kids whether they like to run or jump. More often than not, parents got more challenges trying to ask kids to settle down!

When Zoom Park Asia invited us to jump to our hearts’ content (actually it is one hour), I knew the kids would be thrilled.

Located at 200 Pandan Gardens, Zoo Park Asia is Singapore’s largest Trampoline park.
Eager kids have to watch a safety clip, and non-slip socks are a must (available for $2 per pair).

Zoom Park Asia jumping Rates.

After keeping our shoes and bags, we have to listen to instructor’s orientation and demo.

Vast space for kids to run, jump or hop around, about 4 basketball court size.

Love the open concept for kids to experiment. Instructors will be on hand to show kids the correct posture and landing. Adults can try too 🙂

Everyone can jump and have fun, no prior Parkour experience needed
(unless you are doing some somersaults or backflips)

To quote from Zoom Park Asia:
“Zoom Park is an indoor trampoline park that brings American trampoline sports to Asia. Our park in Singapore includes 2 dodgeball courts, a 4-lane foam pit, a 5-lane airbag, 3 basketball slam dunk lanes, 3 long tumble tracks and a spacious main court. For those looking for more adventure and challenge, we offer a fidget ladder, a slackline, a 17-metre lateral rock wall and high performance mats as well.”

It shouts FUN!

Dodgeball needs rule? Just avoid getting whacked, aka our childhood game “Hamtam Ball-la”
The bouncing trampoline allows 1.2m boy to dunk too :p

Checkout our video below.

If the kids still have spare energy, ask them to climb up the wall before jumping into the foam pit below!
Just make sure no one is lying below.

Or you can simply follow Daddy, run down the pavement and fly superman-style into the foam pit 🙂

Instructor told us we are burning 1000 calories for very 10 minutes!

Jumping is Fun but super exhausting! I was sweating buckets after 5 minutes.
But the kids were super charged and kept dashing left right, and bouncing up down!

There is a sense of freedom and liberation whenever we propel ourselves off the trampoline.
As kids grew more confident, they try to pickup additional stunts.

Kids could not bear to bid Zoom Park Asia farewell.

During our visit, we notice both function rooms were booked for Birthday parties.

Can you tell which group photo is taken before or after Safari Zoo Run? Both are full of enthusiasm and grins. Needless to say, SengkangBabies enjoy running in Mandai reserves 🙂

Every yellow being is eager to dash, we have registered ourselves for the 6km Fun run. (Emphasis is on Fun)

2km, Boon Yee was leading the charge most of the way, this boy really loves to run. To see kids run so carefree, so full of joy, even Daddy was motivated to try and catch up.

Every now and then, there will be a slight jam, as runners slow down to take photos of the exhibits. The animals must be delighted to have some added entertainment from the ”
yellow beings”. They must be whispering “Crazy human beings!”

Nice scenery, relaxing pace, no need to rush. Some families even brought their strollers along, so that juniors can enjoy the sights and perspiration.

Inuka is not at home, we posed with his replica.

4km, and Boon Yee’s stamina is far from depleted.

We spotted some Elephants showering and white Tigers along the way. Much needed distraction for kids and adults as we take a breather. Most of the time, it is parents who have difficulty catching up with the energetic kids 🙂

We waited for the rest to catch up, before hitching a free Zebra tram ride at the “bus interchange”. Too bad, no drivers around.

Instagram at 5km. Daddy joked that Zoo should let some hyenas and wild dogs out to improve our timings 🙂

Safari Zoo Run was conceived to commemorate Singapore Zoo’s famous matriarch, Ah Meng.

We even had time to make a small detour to visit our favourite zone, Fragile Forest. The monitor lizard is wild, it was free to roam the grounds. You might have seen some peacocks parading around too.

Other activities await participants, bumboats are not operating, so forget about taking a shortcut across Mandai lake.

Fun activities and carnival await families before and after the race.

Although it is 6km, we completed the race in under 90min.
Walk, jog, dash, and sightseeing, most importantly we cross the finishing line together.

If you ask the kids whether we should try it again in 2016, you will only hear YES!

Finisher medals, is the Hippo cute or not? Thanks Singapore Zoo for the Fun invitation, many families had fun stomping the Night Safari and Zoo grounds last weekend.
