Zoom Park Asia review

[ Media Invite ]

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).

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 πŸ™‚

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 πŸ™‚

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.

Day 2 Phuket Phi Phi Island review

Fish feeding was definitely the highlight of Day 2 at Phuket (read our Day 1 Holiday Inn Mai Khao review). We hop on board a speedboat and tour around Phi Phi island.

The last time we were on a speedboat was 4 years ago when we island hopping at Krabi. Boon Xin was just crawling then. (Read our Krabi trip here)

But first, let us share our breakfast venue (Holiday Inn Phuket Mai Khao) with you. J’s Cafe has a special corner for kids to enjoy their own breakfast (or birthday party). The table and chair height was designed with smaller kids in mind.

No wonder Boon Xin kept refilling her coco crunch.

We still have the option to dine together πŸ™‚

.. or with our friends from Jbabies. Love the “sunken” couches.
Phuket day 21

We had earlier book a trip to Phi Phi Island. A van drove us 30 minutes to Marina Bay to our speedboat.

We wonder whether the kids still remember Hong Island (Speedboat) or Four islands (Long Boat) from 4 years ago.

We passed by a Vikings’ cave before we cruise into Pileh cove (or lagoon).
Phuket day 27

We did not hesitate to jump into the cool lagoon.

Speedboat thrills.
Phuket day 214

Maya Beach (from Leonardo Di Caprio’s The Beach fame) was crowded!
Boats and people swamp the beach front and the water was cloudy.

We were disappointed with Maya beach, and I would not mind if we can leave “The Beach” earlier.
Phuket day 210

Guide was telling us that the only “romantic” time to visit is 6am before the crowd, and the corals have been damaged from all the boats’ anchors. A pity there was no control and a beautiful beach now feels like a crowded swimming pool.

I should have researched (read Tripadvisor) earlier, will not recommend Maya Beach to anyone.
James Bond island overcrowded

A 15 min ride away, was the highlight of our boat trip (not sure whether it is near Randy Island).

Video with GoPro Hero3: Fish feeding experience, some kids might be intimidated by the fishes :p

It was a nice experience to feed the swarms of fishes. Just dangle your bread crumbs and the colourful fishes will dart in from everywhere.

The guide will dive deeper (max 20m depth) to hand us seafood like sea anemone or urchins πŸ™‚

Love love love the clear and transparent water!

Phuket day 212

After feeding the fish, it was time to feed the humans. We had a quick and simple buffet, relax on the swing before we head to our last spot.
Phuket day 213

Koh Rang Yai is a quiet town. With the low tide, we constructed some sand castles and reservoirs under the hot sun.
Phuket day 215

Quiet beach, sandplay.
Phuket day 216

Our Phi Phi Island trip is a full day itinerary. We nearly miss the sunset when we got back to our resort.

Can you imagine enjoying your dinner with sea breeze and watching the sun sets over the horizon? For that few moments, Andaman sea’s sunset turn everything orange hue, mesmerizing!

While you dine at beachfront Pesto Restaurant, you can also enjoy live band playing near the pool.
We love our grilled steak and pork cutlet but the squid is slightly undercooked.
Phuket day 24

The tomato soup and simple fried rice was surprisingly appetising πŸ™‚

Seafood buffet is also available, but do remember to RSVP early. Pesto is always full house during dinner time.
Phuket day 23

Pizza for the hungry and tired kids, do remember to ask friendly staff to apply some mosquito spray.
