August 31, 2026The Polliwogs Indoor Playground Singapore: Both Outlets
The Polliwogs runs two Singapore indoor playgrounds: the ocean-themed VivoCity venue and Nekoland at Clarke Quay Central with its cageless cat zone. Compare both.
The Polliwogs runs two indoor playgrounds in Singapore. One is an ocean-themed soft play venue inside VivoCity; the other trades as Nekoland at Clarke Quay Central and has a cageless cat interaction zone attached to it.
They are not two versions of the same room. Choosing between them is a real decision, and it comes down to whether you want more climbing or a cat.
The Two Venues Are Deliberately Different
Most multi-outlet playground brands in Singapore replicate one format across locations. The Polliwogs did not.
VivoCity Is the Climbing Venue
The VivoCity outlet is built around an ocean-themed arena with web climbing, a junior climb wall, wave slides, mazes and an air-shoot ball arena. It has a separated toddler section for children under three and an on-site bistro with a parent lounge.
It is the larger and more physically demanding of the two, and it holds primary-school children for longer.
Clarke Quay Central Is the Cat Venue
The Clarke Quay Central outlet operates as Nekoland. The playground there is a mid-sized soft play room with a mirror maze, netted trampolines, ball pits and a ball blaster range, plus a toddler zone with a pedal-powered merry-go-round.
The distinguishing feature is a room of around ten cageless cats, some of them fosters available for adoption. Sessions run thirty minutes, capped at eight people, with a staff briefing on how to approach the animals.
Closed Outlets
The Polliwogs previously operated at Eastpoint Mall and at Suntec City. Both have closed. Listings and older guides still reference them, so check before travelling to an address you found on an aggregator.

Which Outlet to Choose
Choose VivoCity if your child is six or older and wants to climb. The web structure and the junior wall give it more physical content, and the mall around it supports a longer outing that can extend to Sentosa.
Choose Nekoland if your child likes animals, or if you have a mixed-age group. A ten-year-old who has outgrown soft play will still spend thirty engaged minutes with the cats, which is what makes a visit with a four-year-old and a ten-year-old work.
Choose Nekoland also if you are in the city without a car. Clarke Quay Central sits on an MRT interchange and the venue runs to 8pm daily, three hours later than VivoCity’s weekday close.
Full detail is on the outlet pages: The Polliwogs at VivoCity and Nekoland at Clarke Quay Central.
Pricing Across the Brand
The two outlets price differently, which follows from their different formats.
Nekoland sells a combined child and adult entry at S$25, with additional adults at S$12 and the cat zone ticketed separately at S$12 per person. Including the first adult in the entry price is worth roughly S$12 against venues that charge adults separately.
VivoCity sells one-hour and two-hour sessions from S$12, with babies chargeable from six months. The operator does not publish the full table, so the practical advice is to check the current rate before travelling rather than relying on a resale listing.
The choice of session length at VivoCity is the more useful pricing feature across the brand. Being able to buy an hour rather than two suits children under three, who rarely last the longer session.
Ages Across the Brand
| Age | VivoCity | Nekoland |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 months | Chargeable from 6 months, limited value | Toddler zone only |
| 18 months to 3 | Toddler section | Toddler zone, good fit |
| 4 to 6 | Best fit | Best fit |
| 7 to 10 | Good fit, climbing carries it | Playground reads young, cats do not |
| 11 to 12 | Climbing still works | Cat zone only |
Neither venue publishes a maximum age. In practice VivoCity holds older children longer through its climbing, and Nekoland holds them through the cat zone rather than the playground.
What Parents Say About The Polliwogs
Location is the consistent praise across both outlets. Each sits directly above an MRT station inside a major mall, which is a rarer combination in Singapore than it sounds and which removes the main friction from a rainy-day plan.
Cleanliness is the second. Nets and obstacles are sanitised on a daily schedule at both venues and reviewers mention it without being prompted.
The parent facilities come up often. Both outlets provide somewhere for a supervising adult to sit with WiFi and a coffee, which is not standard in this category.
The recurring caution at VivoCity is the 5pm weekday close, which removes after-school visits from Monday to Thursday.
The recurring caution at Nekoland is that cats sleep. A midday session can be a quiet one, and the operator itself recommends morning or evening slots.
The shared caution is scale. Neither venue is one of the large flagship playgrounds, and a family coming from an 18,000 square foot venue will find both smaller than expected.
