Tampines 1 water playground

It is an understatement to say we had fun at Singapore's latest rooftop waterplay area. Yes, we are talking about Singapore’s first wet-and-dry wildlife-themed rooftop playground at Tampines 1.

The Hippo, Elephant, Polar Bears and Giraffe kept us soaked (literally) for two solid hours !

Actually, the kids were full of anticipation when they knew we were going for water sports. Even Daddy and Mummy are curious about the polar-bear on Sat's papers!

We arrive early..

Before we could start swimming, we participated in family photo (cosplaying),
and even sword-fighting with the resident big Polar bear :p


Did we mention this was a bloggers preview? We saw so many friends bring their kids along.
Very Very happening ! (Hello JBabies, OurEverydayThings, DaddyNivlek, aJugglingMum, MamaWearPapaShirt, RuthWongWrites and MadPsychMum). Even Tampines1 got their own blog :)

We are so glad our cousins Kara and Joley join us too :)

After seeing the compound, can you imagine how hard it is to rein the kids in?
Everyone were rushing to change into their swimming attires !

The older boys rushed to the Artic corner, and slide down Polar Bear's tummy.
Daddy love the white ice bergs ! Impressive !

Look at our cheeky Wen Yi. He is in his own world already !

Hello Wen Yi, do you know Elephant are protected species? Boy went around stalking the poor elephant haha.

Oh no, kids got water-guns in their goodies bag, and nobody was safe in their AK47 or M16 mayhem !

See how our kids enjoyed themselves !


Even our little gal was pleasantly surprised with her pistol power !

Hungry? There are Frogs cupcakes to entertain us.

Ok, some parents got ambushed or splashed, but nobody is complaining. Just look at all the smiling little faces. Even Daddy is tempted to join in the fun !

What can you do in the dry area? Kids had a go at everything.


Come 10Mar, Tampines 1 rooftop will be officially opened. Do drop by this waterplay area, and you will understand why we love it so much !

What did we bring home with us? A giant football sofa, and additional knowledge
about Earth's eco-system and inhabitants.

We blog about Singapore's rooftop waterplay area recently, but Tampines 1 has just
set the new benchmark with it's Safari theme.

We would like to take this opportunity to thanks Tampines 1 and Fleishman-Hillard for the invite.
Do drop by our Fanpage for more Photos.

  8. Thanks for compliment Summer.
    Really, when the kids enjoy themselves, it makes it so easy to snap snap their expressions :)

    SG might be small, but we have a lot of things to explore and experience (free or nominal fee).
