SkyHop by Yooland is massive and it occupies a two-storey space. Stepping through the glass doors, kids will be anxious to get into the playground. The ball pit at SkyHop by Yooland is huge and it is filled with white, teal and purple balls. It creates an inviting sea that kids will want to dive into. And the best way to dive in is to take one of the slides that plunge straight into the ball pool. Get more details about SkyHop by Yooland.
