Pororo Park - A Haven for Kids!


Having fun in the Shark Ball Pool

Pororo Park, a theme park and indoor playground based on the popular South Korean animation character, Pororo the little Penguin made its way to Singapore in November last year.

I came to know about it through my good friend, who highly recommended it as a haven for kids, especially the younger ones. I am glad I brought my restless one year old son, André Aaron there as the attractions kept him entertained for three whole hours!

Conveniently located in the heart of Marina Square’s vibrant new retail wing, the 11 000 square feet Pororo Park is an edutainment indoor playground which integrates a theme ride, playground attractions and an entertaining mini musical theatre under one roof. There are many instagram-worthy spots around the playground where you can take pictures with the Pororo characters.

Here are some of the attractions:

Pororo Link

Baby André Aaron in full concentration

The Pororo Link is nearest to the entrance of Pororo Park. It is a play area for toddlers with lego bricks and toy cars and it is surrounded by roads where children can push toys around.

Kids having a great time on Pororo Express

The Pororo Express is the automated fun train ride for kids and your kids can go on it as many times as they like. During the ride, they can marvel at the iconic centrepiece, go through an icy cave and wave at their favourite characters. The setback is that the seats are for children only and parents can’t accompany their kids on the rides. To catch the ride, you can refer to a schedule which indicates the timings of the rides. 

Shark Ball Pool

A sea of blue and white

The shark ball pool is probably the biggest ball pool available in indoor playgrounds. This pool has a shark in the centre where you can throw balls into its mouth. For those who prefer to relax, you can bury yourself under the sea of blue and white balls.

Pororo House

This mini house is perfect for toddlers aged one to three. A replica of Pororo’s House in the series, it has a bed, sofa, mini fridge and a bathroom with a sink and bathtub.

The little bed

 It looks really cute, however it is not the best place to go to for parents who are bigger sized as you need to bend down and squeeze into the little house.

Petty’s Supermarket

This little supermarket is perfect for younger kids about one to three years old who can role play and pretend they are adults shopping for groceries in a supermarket. 

Poby’s Jungle Gym

The Poby's Jungle Gym looks pretty exciting as it is is packed all the time. There are tunnels, slides, bridges and mazes in the gym which are a hit with the kids. 

Baby André Aaron did not go for this as he is still a little too young. This gym is probably suitable for older kids of four and above.

Eddy and Petty’s Rooms

Eddy and Petty’s Rooms are located opposite TongTong’s Little Theatre and are mostly used for art, science and storytelling classes. You can also hold a fun party for your little one and customise a menu to suit them. 


Crong’s Backyard

Located behind Pororo House, this is probably the place for parents looking for a respite and to escapade from boisterous kids. It has a small stove for role play and a mini swing and and slide. My boy had a lot of fun on the slide and swing. 

Tong Tong’s Little Theatre

This is probably the main highlight of the Pororo Park. Your little ones can have a meet and greet session with the Pororo characters, sing along and groove with their favourite characters. Some popular tunes include the Pororo theme song and Wheels on the Bus.

Casey Nails

This nail parlour is for little girls to pamper themselves with manicures and pedicures after a long day of playing at the indoor playground.


Loopy’s Café

A 60-seater café designed for kids, this is the ideal venue for children to indulge in child-friendly treats and for parents to unwind after a few hours of running after their kids. The food come in small portions for children and tastes light and healthy. Highlights include b French fries, spaghetti bolognaise and mac and cheese. WiFi is available so you can surf the net and bask in the scenic view of the Marina Bay.
