Adventures of the fantastic four: KidStop

It has been a very long time since i last blogged.Anyways , it is not as though I am a blogging queen like a certain someone. This is just an online diary for my children to read when they are much older and for me to look back at what we have done as a family. So far it has been a roller coaster ride for us as a family. Baby Arrian has started walking after his birthday. Well in my long hiatus, I have brought the children to three places and today we are talking about kidStop. I have always wanted to bring the kids to KidStop but the price was quite steep. However as of 1st April 2015, they have revised the price and I decided to give it a go with the #fantasticfour.


I find that at $10 each with Baby Arrian going in free. It was a good deal. The kids were excited when they saw the photos of the place. It was a great place where the children learn through play. 

They were so excited to take photos at the entrance.

A map of the area


From the picture and the map, it seems like a huge area but it is still manageable. The thing is the children were still occupied despite being there for nearly 4 hours. Let's take a look at the places.
We started out by going to the human body area. The children explored the 5 senses. There were doors that lead to the different sense with explanations on what they are supposed to do. It is self exploratory for the older ones. It was also interesting for Baby Arrian who was more interested in opening and closing the door #exploration












The next place that the children wanted to go once they saw it was the big J. Adrian tried the highest level. I was impressed as he is normally apprehensive about trying new things. I praised him for being so brave. He even went twice for the Big J. He also encouraged his little sister to go through it #heisgoingtobeagoodbigbrother.











The next place that they explore was the dino pit. Adrian thoroughly enjoyed it. For those who doesn't know yet, my boy here is a clean freak who hates sand especially when we go to the beach #wehadtoforcehim. Therefore to see him enjoying himself and smiling that way was a blessing. I had to explain to them what need to be done at the dino pit as they thought it was a huge sand pit #funnyhowthesechildrenthinks. This place was fun.











The next area that they decided to go to was the rain and cloud. The children and the hubster tried the typhoon simulator. They were screaming away but it doesn't look that frightening tho'.





As for baby Arrian, he was happily exploring nature. It was a small area with garden and flowers and few things for him to meddle. There was even a small slide for him to go down. However, we did explore the other things and let him touch too.

The place where they spend most of their time at is at the supermarket and cafe. The girls enjoyed being chefs for the day and also going to the supermarket where they can check out the items. I was able to rest and give Baby Arrian his milk.




Exploring and smelling the different spices








While the girls were busy playing in the supermarket area, Adrian went to the crane area and made some new friends. he was busy tinkering with them to make sure the balls fall into the container.









Overall, the kids enjoyed pretend play. It was thoroughly engaging for them as there are a lot of things for them to explore. In fact there were places which we missed out. The children want to have another go so that they can explore the areas which they have yet to go. I definitely will bring them again to explore KidStop. It was fun learning through play. We ended the day with a McDonald meal for the children. It was a great adventure for the fantastic four.

That's all folks!
