August 31, 2026Waka Waka Indoor Playground at Annex @ Furama, Havelock
Waka Waka at Annex @ Furama: a safari-themed indoor playground open Thursday to Sunday, S$27 at weekends, with a volcano climbing structure and a Kidztropic Cove joint ticket.
Waka Waka at Annex @ Furama is a safari-themed indoor playground on Level 5 of a hotel annex, built around a volcano climbing structure. It opens Thursday to Sunday only, which is the first thing to check before planning a visit.
It also sits directly beside Kidztropic Cove, and the two sell a joint ticket that turns one afternoon into two venues.
What Waka Waka Is
The Annex at Furama RiverFront on Havelock Road is a small block attached to a hotel, and its fifth floor holds two separately branded children’s playgrounds next door to each other.
A Hotel Annex, Not a Mall
Almost every playground in this guide is inside a shopping centre. Waka Waka is not, and reviewers consistently describe the hotel annex setting as calmer and more open than a mall unit.
The practical consequence is that there is no mall crowd to navigate and no food court downstairs. Havelock Road has options nearby but they are not a lift ride away.
Four Days a Week
The venue opens Thursday to Sunday and closes Monday to Wednesday. That is a shorter week than any other paid playground in this guide.
For families it means the venue is a weekend and long-weekend option rather than a midweek fallback, and a Tuesday trip is a wasted one.
Weekdays Unlimited, Weekends Booked
On Thursdays and Fridays, playtime is unlimited and no booking is needed. At weekends, public holidays and during school holidays, entry runs in pre-booked slots of one hour and forty-five minutes.
Those are two quite different products. A Thursday visit can fill an afternoon; a Saturday visit is a fixed session.
The Joint Ticket With Kidztropic Cove
Kidztropic Cove at Annex @ Furama is the venue next door at #05-02. The two sell a combined ticket at S$37 on weekdays and S$45 at weekends.
Two playgrounds on one floor with one ticket is unusual, and for a family travelling in it is what makes the trip worth it.
Who It Suits
Children from seven months to twelve years by the operator’s own account, though one reseller states nineteen months. The toddler area is for children under 90cm and Adventure Cove requires four years and 90cm.
Families come from River Valley, Havelock, Tiong Bahru and the central belt.
Play Zones and Attractions
The Volcano Climbing Structure
The centrepiece, and what the safari theme is built around. A tall climbing structure with routes running up and slides bringing children back down.
The Two-Tier Play Areas
The main floor is arranged across two levels rather than one. Vertical arrangement in a compact footprint is what allows the venue to hold as much as it does.
The Toddler Zone
A separated area for children under 90cm, so that a walking one-year-old is not on the same surface as a ten-year-old.
Adventure Cove
A harnessed ropes course, for ages four and above with a 90cm minimum, charged as an extra on top of admission. This is the attraction that holds older children, and it is what distinguishes Waka Waka from a purely soft play venue.
Trampolines
Standard trampolines sit within the main structure.
Obstacle Courses
Ground-level courses running through the play areas, providing the running-and-climbing element between the structure and the trampolines.
Ticket Prices (2026)
| Ticket | Notes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single entry, weekend, public and school holidays | 1 child and 1 adult, 1h45m slot | S$27 |
| Weekday bundle, Thursday and Friday | Unlimited playtime | S$108 |
| Waka Waka and Kidztropic Cove joint ticket, weekday | Both venues | S$37 |
| Waka Waka and Kidztropic Cove joint ticket, weekend | Both venues | S$45 |
| 6-month unlimited | S$158 | |
| 6-month premium | S$218 | |
| 12-month premium | S$268 | |
| All-Days Pass | S$199 or S$299 | |
| Monthly adult pass | S$78 |
Prices verified August 2026. One ticket admits one child and one adult, with a maximum of one adult per child. Additional adults are charged at the counter. Closed-toe socks are mandatory for children and adults. Adventure Cove carries an extra fee.
The Six-Month Unlimited Pass Is the Standout
At S$158 for six months, the unlimited pass pays back in six weekend visits. For a family living in the central belt who will use the venue fortnightly, that is the purchase that makes sense.
The premium tiers at S$218 for six months and S$268 for twelve presumably add benefits the operator does not publish in detail; ask what the difference is before paying the higher rate.
One Adult Per Child, and Only One
Each ticket admits one adult, and only one adult per child is permitted. A family arriving with two parents and one child will need to work out which adult goes in, or pay at the counter.
The monthly adult pass at S$78 exists for families where a second adult always comes.
The Joint Ticket Arithmetic
Single entry at Waka Waka is S$27 at a weekend. The joint ticket at S$45 adds Kidztropic Cove for S$18, which is well below Cove’s own entry price.
For a family that has travelled to Havelock Road, the joint ticket is close to automatic.
Location and Getting There
Address: #05-01, Annex @ Furama, 407 Havelock Road, Singapore 169634
The Annex is attached to Furama RiverFront on Havelock Road, about seven minutes on foot from Havelock MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line. There is parking, and some passes include it.
The setting is the trade. Calmer than a mall, with less food and fewer shops within immediate reach.
Opening Hours and Slots
| Day | Status |
|---|---|
| Monday to Wednesday | Closed |
| Thursday and Friday | Open, unlimited playtime, no booking needed |
| Saturday and Sunday | Open, pre-booked 1h45m slots |
Booking slots run at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. Saturday runs latest, to around 8pm; Thursday, Friday and Sunday finish earlier.
Suitable Ages
| Age | Fit |
|---|---|
| Under 90cm | Toddler zone only |
| 2 to 3 | Toddler zone and lower structure |
| 4 to 6 | Best fit, Adventure Cove opens up |
| 7 to 10 | Very good fit, volcano and ropes |
| 11 to 12 | Upper limit, Adventure Cove carries the visit |
The operator states seven months to twelve years. One reseller states nineteen months as the minimum, so a family bringing a baby should confirm directly.
What Parents Say
The volcano structure is what visitors mention first, and the safari theme is described as carried through rather than painted on.
The hotel annex setting draws the second most comment, consistently in terms of it being calmer and more open than a mall playground.
The joint ticket with the venue next door is praised as unusual value, particularly by families who travelled in for the afternoon.
Adventure Cove is noted by parents of older children as the reason a nine-year-old agreed to come.
The recurring caution is the four-day week. Closed Monday to Wednesday is unusual and it catches people out.
The second caution is the one-adult-per-child rule, which is stricter than the usual arrangement and surprises families arriving with both parents.
The third is the weekend slot length. One hour and forty-five minutes is shorter than the two-hour standard, and it feels short at a venue where Adventure Cove needs harnessing up first.
Two Playgrounds on One Floor
Level 5 of the Annex holds two separately operated children’s playgrounds next door to each other, with a joint ticket between them. Nothing else in Singapore is arranged this way.
The two are complementary rather than competing. Waka Waka takes children to twelve and carries a ropes course; Kidztropic Cove caps at six and runs Montessori-inspired pretend play. A family with a four-year-old and a nine-year-old can use both in an afternoon and neither child spends the day in the wrong room.
Older coverage sometimes describes Waka Waka as part of The Polliwogs. The operator’s own site carries no such branding, and the two businesses are best treated as separate.
How to Sequence the Two
The pretend-play venue works better first and the climbing venue second, for the same reason a calm activity precedes a loud one anywhere else. A child who has spent ninety minutes on a volcano structure does not settle into a play kitchen afterwards.
At weekends, both venues run booked slots, so the sequence has to be arranged when the tickets are bought rather than decided on the day.
The Four-Day Week
Closing Monday to Wednesday is unusual enough to deserve an explanation for planning purposes rather than an excuse.
For families, it concentrates everything into Thursday to Sunday. Thursday and Friday carry unlimited playtime with no booking, which makes them the best value in the week and the quietest days on the floor.
That is a useful pattern for anyone with a weekday free: a Thursday afternoon at Waka Waka is an unlimited session in a calm room, and the same visit on a Saturday is one hour forty-five minutes in a booked slot at a busier venue for a similar price per head.
School holidays convert weekdays to the weekend rules, so a Thursday in June is not the same product as a Thursday in May.
How It Compares
| Waka Waka | A mall playground | Kidztropic Cove next door | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setting | Hotel annex | Shopping centre | Hotel annex |
| Open | Thursday to Sunday | Daily | Tuesday to Sunday |
| Ropes course | Yes, extra fee | Rare | No |
| Weekday play | Unlimited | Timed | Timed |
| Age cap | 12 | 10 to 12 | 6 |
| Adults | One per child, no more | Often one free | One included |
Against the venue next door, Waka Waka takes older children and Kidztropic caps at six. Against a mall playground, Waka Waka is quieter and open fewer days.
The combination that makes the floor worth visiting is that the two together cover ages one to twelve, which neither does alone. For a family with a four-year-old and a nine-year-old, the joint ticket is the reason to come to Havelock Road.
Making a Visit Work
Check the day. Closed Monday to Wednesday.
Go on a Thursday or Friday if you can. Playtime is unlimited and no booking is needed, which at weekends it is.
Buy the joint ticket. At S$18 above single entry it adds a whole second venue.
Bring closed-toe socks for children and adults. This is enforced and it is a stricter requirement than ordinary grip socks.
Decide about Adventure Cove before entering, since it carries an extra fee and a child who has seen it will want it.
Work out which adult is going in. One adult per child is the rule, and additional adults are charged at the counter.
