Wan to Play Forest at i12 Katong: 2026 prices from $18, the climbing structure and rollercoaster ride, kinetic sand and dress-up corner, and age suitability.
Forest is the i12 Katong outlet of Wan to Play, on Level 4, and the one venue in the group with a rollercoaster ride. The theme is woodland, the pricing follows the brand’s standard S$18 for one hour and S$35 for two, and Marine Parade MRT is a five-minute walk away.
What Wan to Play Forest Is
Wan to Play runs seven Singapore outlets under seven different names. Forest is the Katong entry, and the woodland theme runs through the climbing structure and the decoration rather than through a single headline installation.
A Mid-Sized Mall Outlet
The floor area is not published. The zone list places it between the compact airport outlet and the larger Woodlands and Punggol venues, with a full climbing structure, two separate sand areas and a set of pretend-play corners.
The Level 4 location puts it above the mall’s main retail floors, which keeps the noise from the shopping crowd out but does mean a lift ride with a stroller.
How This Outlet Differs from Other Wan to Play Outlets
The rollercoaster ride is the clearest difference and it appears at no other outlet in the group. The outlet also runs two distinct sand experiences rather than one: a kinetic sand area and a separate plastic sand pit with toys and vehicles. Most Wan to Play outlets have a single bead or sand pit.
The dress-up and makeup corner is more developed here than the generic costume boxes found elsewhere. For the theme-by-theme comparison, see all seven Wan to Play outlets in Singapore.
Who It Suits
East Coast and Katong families with children roughly two to seven, and anyone who wants a mid-sized venue without travelling to Woodlands or Punggol.
Play Zones and Attractions
The Climbing Structure and Padded Obstacle Course
The main structure combines climbing frames with a padded obstacle course. It is the most physically demanding part of the venue and the zone that holds a six-year-old.
The Rollercoaster Ride
A small rollercoaster, unique to this outlet within the Wan to Play group. Whether it carries a separate charge is not published, so ask at the counter.
The Slide and Ball Pit
A slide feeds a ball pit. The equipment is standard for this brand, competently done.
Kinetic Sand and the Plastic Sand Pit
The venue runs two separate sand experiences. The kinetic sand area is a table-based activity for children who want to sit down, and the plastic sand pit with toys and vehicles is a floor-level pit for younger children. Running both is unusual and it means a child who tires of one has an alternative rather than nothing.
The Kitchen and Dress-Up Corners
A pretend kitchen and a dress-up and makeup corner handle the role play. The dress-up corner is described in reviews as more developed than a simple costume box, which suits a four- to six-year-old.
Ticket Prices (2026)
| Ticket | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard pass (1 child + 1 adult) | 1 hour | S$18 |
| Standard pass (1 child + 1 adult) | 2 hours | S$35 |
Prices verified August 2026. The operator’s own FAQ page lists higher GST-inclusive figures for the brand, so confirm at the counter. Socks are required for entry.
Value for Money
At S$18 for a child and an adult for one hour, this sits at the cheaper end of the Singapore market and matches the brand’s standard rate at four of its other outlets.
The one-hour option matters here. Two of the seven Wan to Play outlets sell two-hour passes only, which raises the minimum spend to S$35. Forest sells the hour, which makes it cheaper to try and better suited to a short visit built around a mall trip rather than a dedicated outing.
A free one-hour weekday trial ran when the outlet opened. That was a launch promotion announced by the mall and it may no longer be available, so do not plan around it.
Age Suitability
The operator does not publish a hard age cap for this outlet.
1 to 3 Years
This age is served. The plastic sand pit, the ball pit and the kitchen corner all work. The climbing structure and obstacle course do not, so supervision is hands-on in that part of the room.
4 to 6 Years
This is the core audience. The dress-up corner, the kinetic sand table, the slide and the rollercoaster all land here, and a five-year-old can attempt the padded obstacle course unaided.
7 and Above
The visit runs short. The climbing structure gives an older child something to do, but there is no high-element equipment and the venue is pitched below this age.
Restrictions
- Socks are required for entry.
- Adult supervision is expected throughout.

Best Time to Visit

Parent Reviews
No aggregate rating or review count could be sourced for this outlet, so what follows are themes from published reviews rather than a score.
What Reviewers Report
The two sand experiences draw specific comment, since running both a kinetic sand table and a floor-level sand pit is uncommon at this price. The dress-up and makeup corner is named as more engaging than a standard costume box. The climbing structure with its padded obstacle course is described as suitable for a range of ages. And the five-minute MRT walk is cited as a practical advantage over outlets that need a bus or a car.
What to Watch For
The venue is on Level 4, which means a lift ride with a stroller. Published pricing differs between the outlet coverage and the operator’s FAQ page. And no settled rating exists yet.
Verdict
| Rating | |
|---|---|
| Variety of play zones | 4 / 5 |
| Value for money | 4.5 / 5 |
| Toddler suitability | 4 / 5 |
| Suitability for older kids | 3 / 5 |
A solid mid-sized outlet with a good sand offer and the only rollercoaster in the group, at the brand’s standard hourly rate.
Birthday Parties
Wan to Play runs party bookings across its outlets. Outlet-specific packages for i12 Katong are not published, so enquire directly.
What to Bring and House Rules
- Bring socks, which are required for entry.
- Ask whether the rollercoaster carries a separate charge, since the operator does not publish this.
- Check the rate at the counter, since two sets of published figures exist for this brand.
- Book the one-hour option for a first visit, since it is cheaper to sample than the two-hour-only outlets.
Comparison with Other Outlets
Forest and Capybara Creek
Wan to Play Capybara Creek at Leisure Park Kallang is the closest comparison in scale and price, and it is the calmer of the two. Capybara Creek leans further toward sensory and pretend play with branded toys, while Forest carries more physical equipment and the rollercoaster. For a toddler, take Kallang; for a five-year-old, take Katong.
The Rest of the Brand
Seven outlets run seven themes, with two of them selling two-hour passes only. See all seven Wan to Play outlets in Singapore for the comparison.
Free Play Near Katong
The East Coast area has substantial free outdoor playgrounds along East Coast Park, a short drive away. See our guide to free indoor playgrounds in Singapore for covered options.
Getting the Most From a Session
i12 Katong sits in the middle of one of the densest concentrations of children’s businesses in Singapore. Within a few streets there are play spaces, a kids’ spa, enrichment centres and a long run of food, which means a play session is rarely the whole reason for the trip.
The mall was rebuilt in recent years and is easy to move around with a pram. Parking is straightforward and buses along East Coast Road are frequent.
Come on a weekday morning for the quietest floor. Katong fills at weekends and the mall reflects it.
Bring grip socks for everyone entering and a change of clothes for children under six.
Plan food in the neighbourhood rather than the mall alone. The surrounding stretch of East Coast Road and Joo Chiat has more within five minutes’ walk than any food court can match.
The Katong Children’s Cluster
For a family living in the east, the practical effect of that concentration is that a morning can be assembled from several small stops rather than built around one venue.
A play session, lunch, and a walk through the shophouses is a complete outing with a preschooler, and none of the individual components has to carry the whole trip.
It also means a wasted journey is unlikely. If the playground is full at 11am on a Saturday, there are alternatives within walking distance rather than a drive away, which is not true of a venue in an isolated mall.
Timing Around the Weekend Crowd
i12 Katong draws heavily at weekends from across the east, and the mall’s food outlets are a destination in their own right. The playground sits inside that traffic rather than apart from it.
A weekday morning is the quietest slot by a wide margin. Saturday afternoons are the busiest, and a family that can only come at a weekend does better arriving at opening than after lunch.
School holidays run busy throughout the week, so the weekday advantage disappears during them.
