Forest Adventure @ Bedok Reservoir Park

In no particular sequence of which event took place first, this was one of the places we went to during the one week term break. This place was on my to-go list for the longest time. I have sat on it for the longest time due to the distance we need to travel. Veron asked if we would be keen to go together and we made it happened! It's always more fun to go on a date with friends!

Tucked within Bedok Reservoir, walk approximately about 10 mins or less from Carpark A, by-passing a kayak Water-Venture centre on our right. Continue walking until and you see Forest Adventure hut.

When you go out with another blogging mum, this is the typical kind of scene you will see. We will be busy clicking away whenever we can, to capture as many pictures as possible so as to create new content for our blogs. =)

Go read the board and find out how the kids course is beneficial for the child.

First and foremost, put on the safety gears, helmet and harness.

The adventure began at Kids Course! This is suitable for children age 5 - 10.

Instructor taught them how to position the "eye".

He can't wait to start !

Let's go ! The pictures below showed most of the stations he had went through to complete the course.

The kids made friends and formed small chats while waiting.

 

 

Another challenging station.

 

We did not get to try Megazip during our staycation in Sentosa (To be blogged later) but to our surprise, they have it in the Kids Course. Imagine someone's excitement !

Xav had enjoyed himself tremendously and went for a second round. I rewarded him with a certificate of accomplishment at the end of it. The piece of certificate costs $2 if you would like to get it printed out with your child's name. I would think it's pretty nice.

My opinions (note that this is a #nonsponsoredpost) :
- it is a really great place to bring the kids to if you are tired of hitting the parks minus the mozzies. Go ahead and plan a date with your friends. I managed to stay bites free with thanks to Young Living Purification Essential Oil. I generously dripped a few drops and apply all over my limbs and back. Btw, am a real mozzie detector, they will come for me first.

- Train your kids' confidence and gross motor skills at Singapore's one and only treetop obstacle course! From the ground, it looks kind of simple when you just lift up your head but to the kids, it takes a lot of courage to overcome the fear of height plus some of the more challenging stations are really difficult for some. Even so for Xav who is considered adventurous in my view, hesitated to take his first step forward.

- The trainers could have been more encouraging to the kids who were in the course. To me it seems like, if you can do it, go ahead, if you cannot do it, then it's just too bad. The trainers will be around to supervise and making sure safety rules are being followed. Of course accompanying parent need to play a part too !  Note that one accompanied parent needs to be with the child at the Kids Course, should the child needs support. The trainers are not going to be with your child through out.

There is also a height requirement for the courses :
Mini Course (consisting of 8 obstacles) : 1 metre
Kids Course : 1.1 metre

And do you know that there is a Grand Course (35 different obstacles) available for the adults as well ? It is open daily except for Mondays and Public Holidays.

MOSH! on Sentosa Island - Palawan Kidz City

You heard the buzz about the official opening of Kidzania Singapore on Sentosa Island - Palawan Kidz City this coming April. Nestled within the same building on level 3, houses MOSH! , Singapore's first digital edutainment attraction, suitable for children, age 3 -12 !

This term break in March, we decided not to travel but play tourists on Sentosa Island. How to get to Palawan Kidz City? We took a Monorail and alighted at Beach Station. Turn left upon exiting the station and follow the signboard above your heads.

Go up the escalator and walk along this bridge, it will lead you to the building of Palawan Kidz City.

Surely, you will not miss the building on your right.

Take another escalator right up to the entrance of MOSHI! while taking it down leads you to Kidzania Singapore.

You will be greeted with the lovely doodles on the wall upon reaching the entrance of MOSHI!

We made our first stop at MOSHI! for our 3D2N staycation in Sentosa.

 

 

This interactive digital multimedia playroom uses cutting-edge technology from Japan, crafting each individual station to kindle and bring out the imagination in every child. Upon entering the darkened room, you will see the 5 interactive digital activities circled around the room.

Let us bring you a quick tour around MOSHI!

FANTASY : WORLD OF WONDER
Xav headed for this station first and added colours and created a design to the plain Mosh!COTS ! I was surprised that he coloured a few pieces despite that fact that he is not a fan of colouring.

Grabbed himself a seat and started working on it.

Japan imported furniture

These crayons were specially imported from Japan as well. The durability is quite strong and the crayons do not break easily.

Japan imported Ponky crayons

Colour as many sheets as you like and bring it over to the scanner when you are done.

One of his works, he named it "Jedi-MOSHI!

 

This intelligent scanner will scanned the outline of coloured MOSHI!cot . The cropped image will appear on this screen, bouncing all around ! Try to spot your own MOSHI!cot! It was pretty challenging with many other bouncing on the screen.

 

Xav was trying to spot his but to no avail. He probably had missed it but the staff was nice to "reset" the screen back to a clean screen. Spot his MOSHI!cot bouncing on the screen.

SPACE : FIREWORKS PARTY
Orchestrate the fireworks using your body movements and send those fireworks all over the world! I love this attraction the most ! It makes me feel light and happy no doubt that the fireworks are not real. But still, it's a happy space to me. =)

Spot those famous landmarks from around the world at the bottom of the screen including the icon of Singapore - Merlion, rotating as the fireworks burst just right on top.

I bet Xav had a great workout prancing and dancing around.



AIR: PAPER PLANE ADVENTURE
Make your paper planes come ALIVE ! Vera was happily checking out the vintage pilot caps while she gladly allowed me to put on one on her head.

She found it so funny to see herself wearing the cap and goggles.

Xav did not know how to fold a proper paper aeroplane. Fear not, the friendly staff sat down and ran through the instructions step by step with Xav.

The daddy demonstrated on how to make the plane come alive.

Daddy, are you sure that the plane is going to transform on screen ?

Watch this !

Vrrroooooom !! It became a virtual plane !

Not only one plane can be thrown at one time,

Trying throwing multiple planes at the same time and it gets pretty fascinating ! If you are tired of throwing planes, catch them on the screen instead. Don't worry ! Nobody will tell you not to touch the screen or whatsoever. This area here is totally kids friendly !

LAND: HIDE AND SEEK TABLE
The brightly lited and colourful, interactive table, attracted my attention as soon as I stepped into the room.

Simply place your hands onto the Hide and Seek Table, create some giant bubbles and life up your hands. The little MOSHI!cots will appear and run all over while you attempt to catch them. Vera gave up playing as she was not tall enough to reach further in.

SEA: DOODLE AQUARIUM
Xav was stuck here for the longest time ! Those hearty laughter I heard coming from him, told me that he enjoyed himself tremendously. He simply loved the multiple scanning of his doodles and "flood" the digital screen with his master pieces. By the way, who says you can only have marine creatures in the digital sea ? Be creative and draw anything that comes to your mind !

Xav had even made some new friends instantly on the spot and created their own card game with their doodle cards and flooded the screen with his drawings along with the other boys.

Spot Xav's big round "bun" lookalike MOSHI!cots floating in the digital sea. The whole cluster on the left were all his ! He created an army of them to "go after" the rest of the creatures which did not belong to him.

 

So much so, we were there for an hour plus and Xav was so reluctant to leave. I have to tell him that we will make our visit again on another day. If you have decided to make your visit, MOSHI! is located at:

31 Beach View #03-01,
Palawan Kidz City, Sentosa
Singapore 098008

Website: www.mosh.com.sg
Facebook: Mosh!

Admission Fee :
Child : $22  (FREE for children under age 3)
Adult : $28
*Family Bundle A at $48 includes entry for 1 Adult and 1 Child
*Family Bundle B at $96 includes entry for 2 Adults and 2 Child
(10% off Family Bundles for MasterCard Holders)

Something which I don't quite understand why the admission fee for adult is higher to that of the child. If it's accompanied parent, it will be more affordable for the adults to pay a nominal fee than paying a full price of $28. Seriously, am the type of mum who does not mind paying to allow my children to have fun but I will not pay this price for myself to go in, unless there is no accompany adults going in with them.

MOSHI! opening hours is from 10 a.m to 9 p.m daily
*Playtime of 2 hours will apply on Saturday, Sunday, Public Holidays & School Holidays
