We were really excited to be visiting Singapore's first indoor water playground at Punggol Safra. Spanning 24,000 feet, I am looking forward to having loads of fun at this 'Enchanted Deep Sea'.
First impression when we reached our destination ----- people, people and more people. It was a Saturday evening and there was a long queue forming outside Kidz Amaze. If not for our media invite, we would probably have to return home disappointed.
10.00am - 2.00pm : 400 pax
2.00pm - 6.00pm : 400 pax
5.00pm - 9.00pm : 400 pax
Registration starts at 9am, on a first-come-first-serve basis. So patrons are strongly encouraged to register early on the day itself to avoid disappointment.
So, I guess you could probably call in advance? Or.......just avoid visiting the place during weekends.

They also have 3 beautiful themed rooms for holding parties - Penguin's Paradise, Under the Sea and Pirate's Cave. Click link for more details on their rates.
Conclusion
Well, at the end of the day, my boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves and spent more than 1 hour in the water. They are already asking when is their next trip to Punggol Safra. But then again, my boys are easily contented, we visit Jurong Safra's pool frequently and there doesn't seem to be a significant difference in their level of excitement and happiness.
The temperature of the water is just nice, not too cold, because it is constantly regulated.
This is the perfect place for play dates because we do not need to worry about the weather, rain or shine, there is no need to think of any plan B, C or D. We can just look forward to our gathering without any worries and disappointment.
However, perhaps it is the latest 'in' playground to visit, I do think the crowd during weekends make it so much less appealing. And being a westerner, I would certainly not drive all the way down to join in the crowd.
The toilets aren't in a very good condition either, with toilet papers spewed on the floor and a dirty diaper changing table. I would really be in dismay if I still have a toddler who requires a change of diapers. I was also disappointed that they do not have a showering room just for children, like what they have @ Jurong Safra. The rain shower can be pretty unfriendly for toddlers.
Last but not least, the charges are a bit high for this pretty simple indoor water playground. (I was expecting something more spectacular......). So maybe for now, we would be happy with our Jurong West Swimming Complex water playground or Jurong Safra's pool until the next birthday party or play date comes along.......
