The theme of the museum was the 70s/ 80s. I have to admit that a wave of nostalgia hit me and the husband hard even though we weren't exactly born in that era. But it was just cool to walk into a "period drama moment". It was not just the kids who had fun, even we were fiddling with the old-school items.
What really set them apart was the realism and that there were plenty of interaction opportunities to touch/ feel/ play with the props. Some of the items such as the barber chair was so rare to see. There were also plenty of photo opportunities and the young toddlers had a fun time "cosplaying" as dessert girl and mata boy of the era. The only drawback, this place is only for families with kids. If you do not have kids, you can't enter the premises.
The toilet facilities were also very family-friendly. For the toddlers, there was a soft-play area meant for them. Older kids are not allowed to enter which mean that there was barely any rough play. Parents could just chill as it was very safe for the children. My kids spent a good amount of time there.
The other sections were hawker-themed and it was just the perfect recipe for pretend-play. The children had a lot of fun pretending to cook, eat and clearing dishes. Some of the "toys" there really thoughtful (not going to give away too much lest it takes away the surprise from the adults). As the number of people is controlled per session, I felt the whole play area very cozy and not overly crowded.
We definitely see ourselves being back a lot more often. This place is really suitable for preschoolers and below. For the schooling kids, I think they might find the activities elementary and the height of the displays short. Do check this place out too if you have kids!
