Fidgets at the Grandstand (Turf City) Review - Babies / Toddlers area

Brought baby Ashlene to Fidgets at the Grandstand on a Monday. Ain't sure about the weekend crowd but you know how chaotic indoor playgrounds can be with crowds hence thought of checking out the place on a weekday.

Just a little intro about Fidget @ Grandstand
Growing from 10,000 sq feet to 16,000 sq feet - Fidgets World is the flagship store and the largest outlet
under the Fidgets family! Located at The Grandstand, Fidgets World houses multiple concepts under one roof!
With activities such as music, baking, art & craft, makeover and a photo studio - children and even adults will
enjoy endless fun at Fidgets World!

What a right decision it was! Fidget at the Grandstand is pretty empty on a weekday, especially at the babies / toddlers area. Most of the time, there are only 2 or 3 other babies / toddlers at the babies / toddlers section as you can see from the photos.

So..why Fidgets? 
Fidgets at Grandstand Review
1. Read pretty good reviews and saw photos of their babies/ toddlers area. Seems bigger and more fun than the babies / toddlers area at Kids Amaze - Safra Toa Payoh.
The structures were also fully padded, safe to let your baby free play. Major plus point, the play area for babies / toddlers are separated from the older kids play area and older kids are "banned" from playing at the toddlers zone.

2. Free entry for babies below 1 year old!

3. Free usage of lockers

4. Free parking

5. Relatively nearer to home and more accessible (10 minutes drive along PIE)

With all the FREE, need I say more?
Of course one of the main deciding factor was the size of the babies / toddlers play area as well as the fact that it's a good trial for baby Ashlene especially that entry is Free.
But I am certainly impressed with how spacious, clean and well maintained the place is, we will definitely be returning.

How to get to Fidgets @ Grandstand (Turf city)
Fidgets at Grandstand Review
Driving
In my opinion, it's much more convenient to park at the open car park behind Giant / Pasar Bella instead of the open space car park above the car dealers.
It's easier to get to Fidget, located at level 3 via Pasar Bella. Just enter Pasar Bella and take the lift to level 3.

Public Transport
Free shuttle buses to the Grandstand are provided from Toa Payoh MRT! Wootz, how convenient that is for those who doesn't drive.
For more information on the shuttle bus and how to get there as well as their rates, please visit http://www.fidgets.com.sg/world.aspx 

And so these shoe racks were the first thing that greeted us when we enter, LOL. There're plenty of shoes racks available so you don't worry about having to plonk your footwear all over the floor and risk someone kicking them away or stepping all over them.



Lockers were also available for use for Free! Just enquire with the counter to get the locket key. However do take note that the penalty is $20 should you lose the key.

And Fidgets at Grandstand Review
the art and craft area

The playground for bigger kids, didn't really went in to explore, hence the limited photos. But notice how spacious it is and not as claustrophobic as some of the other indoor playgrounds?




Finally, we are approaching the babies / toddlers play area


Tadah...spacious, empty and looks fun!

 Fidgets at Grandstand Review
The babies / toddlers zone is also located right next to the cafe. They have a few ride ons as well

And the following will be the 2 play structures for babies and toddlers. Good enough for Baby Ashlene to explore. Fidgets at Grandstand Review

Baby Ashlene made a new friend there too! Check out how happy she was.

lost in a pool of balls! Literally having a ball of a time

 and so Baby Ashlene continued having fun at the other structure where she can crawl around so freely

Mr. Keir trying to get some pretty shots of Baby Ashlene. While she's finally paying attention to the climbing structure


Baby Ashlene loves to crawl through little tunnels! She's always attempting to crawl under the table or something even when she's at home.


she's having so much fun, she decided to do yoga for a break.


and finally, she notices the mirror there 


Enough of free play and climbing time, it's time for the ride-ons!
The good thing about the ride-ons here, it's really catered to both babies and toddlers. For babies, there are certain models of the coupe cars with floor board attached so you can push your little ones around safely without having to fear hurting their little feet. e.g the pink little coupe Baby Ashlene was in, comes with the floor board attached.

and well, she seems more interested in opening and closing the car door than being pushed around =____=


Mr. Keir suggested to put her in this little tunnel to take a photo because it looks like one of those green tunnels you can jump in for some secret coins stage in Super Marios. Yes Baby Ashlene happened to be dressed like super mario that day. ahaha.


And so we had so much fun and enjoyed ourselves at Fidgets World, Grandstand. Visited the restroom just before we left.
Again, i was impressed by how meticulous they are.

Fidgets at Grandstand Review
They provide slippers for you to wear to the restroom so you will not wet your socks.



and there's even a play pen for you to place your baby in should you need to answer nature's call.
This is really important. I still remembered there was once I didn't dare to visit the rest room at a mall cos I was all alone with Baby Ashlene and I've no idea how to do it!



Changing table that's all padded too! And a urinal for boys.



There, our day ended at Fidget. Baby Ashlene had so much fun she KO-ed soon after she had her milk feed so we managed to eat our lunch in peace at one of the restaurants at level 1 - which i couldn't remember the name.
But they were having this 1 for 1 lunch promotion with DBS card.

All-in-all it's a wonderful day at Fidget Grandstand and we will definitely visit again, even though she probably have to pay the next time we visit.

~ Baby Ashlene @ 1 year old!

Taiwan Kids friendly Accommodation with slides - not your usual list!

And so from a mere idea of bringing Sticky Bean with us to Taiwan, this idea was put into action with Singapore Airlines 70th Anniversary promotion where you get to pay only $70 for a child's ticket! Though it's not exactly the cheapest option for flying to Taiwan, we thought to pay a little more for better service and not to mention safety since it will be Sticky Bean's first time traveling on a relatively longer flight. Her first plane ride was a really short one to KL, a mere 1 hour away. If she's manageable on the flight, we can then consider budget airlines such as Scoot or even Jetstar for our subsequent travels. So why Taiwan? There are plenty of reasons for our choice other than both Mr. Keir and myself love Taiwan for the food and hospitality. I'm sure you may have come across Awesome kids friendly accommodation with slides and other themed rooms in Taiwan that are trending in facebook. That was one of the many reasons why we want to go Taiwan too! ...

8 Day 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Iitnerary (Taiwan)

Finally, we embarked on an exploration trip to the Southern part of Taiwan. Having heard so much about E-Da World in Kaohsiung, we decided to take a direct flight just to explore Kaohsiung. Initially, we'd wanted to do a Kaohsiung-Tainan trip but decided to skip Tainan this time around and did a Kaohsiung-Nantou trip instead. We had so much fun and would highly recommend a visit to Kaohsiung to any families travelling with kids. In fact, we find Kaohsiung a lot more child-friendly than Taipei. It is also less crowded so it makes it less claustrophobic taking public transport in Kaohsiung as opposed to Taipei. The people there are also a lot friendlier and helpful. This time around, my mum joined us as well and Sticky Bean was ecstatic as she gets to spend quality time with her Popo. Here's a preview of our 8 Days 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Itinerary (Taiwan) . You can click on the respective days for a detailed post. The link will be up once it's ready...

BTO Keys Collection and BTO Door Opening Ceremony

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying...
