We live in a digital age and yes, screen time comes at a pittance to today's kids. We also understand that it's unavoidable given how dependent we are on our devices. So, let's not kid ourselves, digital screens aren't going away and we will have fewer opportunities to avoid them as we go forward.
However, that does not mean your kids abandon the playground completely. Nothing beats the good ol' slide, swings and other attractions, with the sun shining bright and all of your child's muscles working in harmony to give them some old-school physical activity.
But if the outdoors feel a bit mainstream for now, you can always look at the several indoor parks around Singapore. Your kids can never get bored at a good indoor playground in Singapore.
They can take a pick from interactive play areas, playgrounds to the classic gyms. Even though there are plenty of options to choose from, the Smigy playground in Singapore remains a popular spot with the Easties.
It's located at Paya Lebar Quarter and is also one of the largest at 5,000 sq ft.
So mums and dads, if you are in the East and on the lookout for a good indoor playground to take your kids along, you must surely give the Smigy playground a try.
