ART-ZOO at i Light Marina Bay

EDIT 08.03.17: Congratulations Becky Chin! You have won yourself tickets to Art Zoo!

Art-Zoo is the epitome of what a bouncy castle can be! As soon as Ewan and Faye entered the gates to this bouncy animal bonanza, they disappeared from my sight within 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 

It was a wet wet bounce kind of day when we went for the preview because it had been raining since the wee hours of the morning. Thankfully, it stopped in time for our visit! But look! My kids were drenched from TOP to TOE! 

I said, "Oh my goodness! Can you please don't get wet?" 

And then I gave up and encouraged them, "Alright! Get wet all you want! Go!!! Have fun!" Before I know it, I had my pants all wet and my bum too when I slipped! We kicked off our shoes and went crazy on the inflatable floats together. 

It's a good thing I brought an extra change of clothes for them. But next time, when we return and it rained the whole day like today? I shall dress them up in their swimsuits. And hmmm.. I might choose a wet day to go because it's so much fun when there's water!

There are 11 zone clusters and I cannot decide which is my favourite!!!!!

ONE: ANTARTICA

Oh we were transported to South Pole! Here, you learn about P FOR PENGUINS that slide on their tummies over ice and snow and D FOR DEERS that are the only animals in the world with antlers. The polar bears are so adorable! I just cannot. Look how they stacked!

TWO: FLOWERS

This is the largest inflatable float in the house! It connects three large designs and hear this! It can take 100 children at a time! Give your child a challenge - climb up that Rafflesia! Here, you will learn about A FOR ANTS that can carry up to 50 times their own body weight; L FOR LIONS that enjoy lazing for 16 to 20 hours every day; R FOR RAFFLESIAS that are parasitic flowers; U FOR UKARIS that live in groups of up to 100; V FOR VENUS FLYTRAPS that emit a blue glow at night to attract their prey; T FOR TULIPS that are almost symmetrical

THREE: GIRAFFE

This is a maze! I was so worried that they would go in and get lost in it but hey do not fret because it really is just one way in and one way out. Here, we learn G FOR GIRAFFES that sleep only 10 minutes per day.

FOUR: GRASSLANDS

This reminds me of the Coach service from Singapore to Malaysia *hahah* Jokes aside, I love the way soooooo many kangaroos are clustered together! It makes a great peek-a-boo picture really. Here, you will learn K FOR KANGAROOS that cannot walk backwards! Ahhhh I bet you didn't know that!

FIVE: HONEY HIVES

This is so cute! I just cannot! Two bears, back-to-back, with little bumble bees around them. I wish I could give it a big fat squeeze! Here, you will learn B FOR BEARS that can see colours, unlike many of their mammal friends.

SIX: MOUNTAINS

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE because the rainbow popped in the background with its monochrome surroundings. Oh and our Singapore skyline is just beautiful. Apparently, those cute little lambs are Yaks! I had no idea and kept telling them, "Oh Sheep! Sheep! So Cute!" Here, you will learn Y FOR YAKS that can survive in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius; Z FOR ZEBRAS that come together in large hearts to confuse predators which are usually colour blind. After this visit, yaks are not my favourite animals.

SEVEN: SAVANNAH

Here, you will learn E FOR ELEPHANTS that use their trunks as snorkels to breathe underwater.

EIGHT: SPIDER

We walked around the Spider twice but couldn't find any opening to it nor does it look like we can jump on it. So really, it's just a gigantic inflatable spider! Here, you will learn S IS FOR SPIDERS that give their girlfriends dead flies as presents.

NINE: SWAMPS

The swamps is a funny one with hippopotamus opening their mouths really wide. I had Faye posed for the camera as if she's going to get chomp down by a hippo! Here, you will learn F FOR FROGS  that absorb water through their skin to stay hydrated; H FOR HIPPOPOTAMUS that bob up naturally to breathe while they are asleep in water.

TEN: UNDERWATER

Under the sea! Here, you will learn C FOR CRABS that move sideways in a flurry with their many legs; O FOR OCTOPUSES that are the masters of camouflage, changing their skin colour in a flash; N FOR NARWHALS that have huge teeth which are commonly mistaken as tusks.

ELEVEN: WHALE

Lastly, we have the W FOR WHALE that surfaces from the sea to breathe unlike other sea creatures. This is not a bouncy platform but one that you can enter and kick or throw squishy balls in. It's beautiful and the children seem to like the idea that they are in the mouth of a whale!

TWELVE: MUSHROOMS

I added a number 12 to this list because these cute not-so-little mushrooms shouldn't be left out! They light up at night apparently and I cannot wait to see it when I go for a night visit!

We have returned for our second round of bouncy fun on Art-Zoo's opening day! The children couldn't have enough of it and although shoes are allowed on the inflatable floats, I think we will just kick off our shoes and bounce bare-foot.

Psst! It is also for the young at hearts so do go jumpety jump with your children! I had aching thighs the next day!
