Toddler area, Buds at Shangrila

At Buds by Shangri-La Hotel, the Toddler Zone is a soft play area complete with jumperoos, slides, an interactive piano floor, a ball pit and vintage kiddy rides. It is suitable for babies from 6 months and up.

Although just a mere fraction of the whole indoor playground, there is still a lot for the toddler-baby to conquer in the Toddler zone! From the wee obstacle course that leads to the slides and ball pit, to the large foam blocks for stacking and knocking over, we reckon a good nap awaits at the end of play time.

Explorer Zone at Buds

If you have older children, they are sure to have their socks knocked off in the Explorer Zone at Buds.

Stepping in, you will be transported to an enchanting environment of different themes that have been integrated seamlessly. There’s the impressive meshcape, and a beautiful waterfall (where the cassia seeds can be found); or launch into space station, shoot air blasters at the fire mountain, and dive underwater. The Explorer Zone at Buds by Shangri-La is breathtaking to say the least!

Nooks and crannies to explore at the Shangri-La Hotel indoor playground

Creatively designed, there is so much more than meets the eye in the Explorer zone, guaranteeing hours of fun for the children as they explore every possible nook and cranny. Time will fly by as they whizz through the expansive mesh maze, into the massive ball pit, and down all manner of slides. Sound like your usual indoor playground suspects? Well, trust Buds by Shangri-La to exceed your every expectation.

Worried about not keeping up with your little ones? At Buds, the staff are standing close by to supervise, especially since adults are not allowed on the meshcape climbing frame. Mummies and Daddies – breathe easy, and have a coffee and cake at Recharge, Buds’ cafe.

Located right by the entrance, Recharge has a lovely selection of coffee, fresh fruit, quiches, cakes and cookies if you or your children are having the munchies. Take five on the luxuriously cushy seats, and relax a little as your children let loose – you deserve it!


Themed Activity Rooms

Themed Activity Rooms

If your child has had her fill of the indoor playground, there are a number of activities held in the different themed play rooms for her to choose from.

Stage, Playground at Shangrila Hotel

Do like Picasso in Muddy, and create a masterpiece or two. Then, get groovin’ in Stage and go wild on the drums! Mind you, my daughter couldn’t get enough of Stage. I practically had to drag her out of there, and who could blame her?

In addition, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, your child can unleash his inner Ramsay in Bake, a fully-equipped cooking classroom at Buds. For a small fee, you and your child can pick up some culinary skills from Shangri-La Hotel’s very own trained chefs.
