Family activities Punggol Safra

[ Media Invite ]

We were invited to experience some Family activities at Punggol Safra.

In SG context, two recent establishments were deem “happening” for families. Kidzania (read our review) and of course Safra Punggol.

Our kids, together with fellow parenting bloggers will show you #WhereFunFlows (literally too) at #SafraPunggol.

We called ourselves “Little Punggol Safra Explorer”, a slew of activities were planned for the kids.

For those new to Punggol, Safra Punggol is situated along Punggol waterway (nearest LRT Sam Kee). Park connectors will link you through scenic waterway and neighbourhood. I envy those residents who can watch river activities from their living room πŸ™‚

Refer map below, Safra Punggol is around 4km mark, and you will reach Punggol end (leading to Punggol Promenade) in another 2 km.

Back to our Safra Punggol orientation, kids started with Pizza making session at Pizza Hut. Parents just could not resist the cute kids with their Chef top hat.

Like a pro, they whip up a pan, bake it, and we heard it will be served to parents later.

Pizza making workshops for kids

Organisers thought we should work up an appetite. GetFit studio engaged families with Tic-Tat-Toe and some bonding activities.

Fortunately, no one needs to crunch those core with one hour pilate or zumba sessions :p

Next, we need some creative juices. Drawing sunflowers at Artary.

Not any Sunflowers, but we got our inspirations from the famous painter Van Gogh!

All of us gathered back at “Splash @ Kidz Amaze” to eat our pizzas. Kids got a Pizza Hut certification too, which I hope will be helpful for their June holidays internship part-time job hee hee πŸ™‚

But we parents know the kids’ attention were focused on the activities outside the party-room. You can hear cheers and splashes every corner πŸ™‚

Shoutout : Splash @ Kidz Amaze got three themed party rooms, which can accommodate from 15 to 40pax, ideal for birthday parties. Rates are published on Safra Kidz Amaze website.

The most happening corner for kids at Safra Punggol must be Splash @ Kidz Amaze. Themed “SPLASH Enchanted Sea”, slides, octopus splashes entertain families.

This is Singapore’s first indoor water playground. Oh, the slides are too narrow and fast, not really adults-friendly, I bump my head going down!

Additional Tips :
– Splash @ Kidz Amaze is first come first serve, avoid weekends. If capacity is max, you will need to wait. You might wish to call 65858710 for enquiries.

– In my opinion, $16 per child (off-peak non-member) is expensive, feature-pools charges $2 per entry
– Splash @ Kidz Amaze is for kids 18 months to 13 years old, but kids above 7 years old might find it kiddy
– Toddlers under 18 months old can enter for free, but Safra would like to recommend there is an accompanying adult in the pool

– Address : Sentul Cres, 828654
– GPS : 1.410032, 103.906173
– From Punggol MRT – Exit B, just walk 8min under LRT viaduct. (Ladies should not walk alone or during low light.)

For more Family activities Punggol Safra, do pop by their Fanpage and website. I will be keen to tryout more cycling and kayaking sessions with kids.

More photos can be found on Safra ‘s photo album.

Fun at Austin Heights Water Adventure Park

Once exams are done, we might just hop over to Austin Heights Water Adventure Park to destress again.
Look at the kids, all young and adventurous, all of them posing in front of Yellow Wall.

(Please checkout our video below too)

You can ice skate and trampoline jump at Austin Heights & Adventure Park too. How many activities are they trying to squeeze into this complex?

Kids are wondering why Water Park so quiet haha. Feels like we had the pools and slides to ourselves πŸ™‚

Please tell me this view is enchanting, for a moment, we forgot we are standing on a platform 5 or 6 storeys high.

The vast area around Taman Mount Austin is still quite undeveloped.

If your kiddos are adrenalin junkies, “Yellow Wall and SuperSurf” will keep them occupied whole day πŸ™‚
Gif of “Yellow Wall” does not look scary or steep, but trust me when I tell you that dingy feels like overturning anytime haha!

(Tip: Scream or laugh, it does help to reduce anxiety haha!)

“SuperSurf”, challenge each other and see who wins. Six to go. (Tip: to go fast, lay low)

“Splash World” for the little ones, the bucket of water is complimentary. This playground is where kids play catcher.

“Lazy River” is a wet and fun way to relax, but with our kids around, the currents will be turbulent :p
“Wave Pool” is fun too, ride the waves on your floats (not in photo)

Video (link) – Photos and videos cannot convey the amount of FUN we enjoyed at Austin Heights Water Park

Steps are steep and tall, floats are heavy. A porter parent will be helpful. (hint hint to the Dads)

Prince 33, comfortable stay with walking distance to good food (all around). We will not hesitate to recommend Prince 33 to our friends.

*updated 2019 – Prince 33 might not be so desirable now. The Hotel stay is still decent, but you will not find parking lots anymore due to explosion of activities in Mount Austin

We will share more about Prince 33 and cafe-hopping in another post.

Ticket Prices for Water park:
Adults (12 and above) – RM 118
Child (3 to 12) – RM 98

People will compare between Austin Heights Water Park or Legoland Waterpark.
a) Price-wise very similar
b) I would say Legoland is more suitable for the smaller kids, whereas Austin Heights are for bigger kids and teenagers (Read our Legoland review here)
c) Grab the combo-tickets for more value added experience

Additional tips :
– Food and snacks are not allowed inside the water park, but the canteen does serve decent Nasi Lemak and finger food (reasonably priced).
– Lockers (two sizes) are available for full day rental (unlimited)
– Hide your GoPro well, staff have strict orders to stop your GoPro-selfie down the tubes

– Austin Heights Water Adventure Park is just 5 min walk from Prince 33 hotel
– GPS 1.561601, 103.775655 (about 20km from Woodlands checkpoint)
– Look out for latest updates and promotions on their Website and Fanpage

More photos of Fun and Food uploaded on our Fanpage album.
