⭐ Mama’s Picks: Best Indoor Playgrounds in KL ⭐

Best Indoor Playgrounds in Kuala Lumpur for Babies & Toddlers

Looking for fun indoor playgrounds in Kuala Lumpur that focus on soft play for little ones? These are some of the best ones you can check out:

1. Jungle Gym

Jungle Gym has all the classic play areas of an indoor playground, including multi-level climbers, different kinds of slides (including some adult-friendly ones!), trampolines, and a ball pit.

The Starling Mall branch has a fun dress-up section too!

What I like:

• Excellent mix of play areas!
• Play areas are clean and comfy.
• Basic family facilities provided.
• There’s an attached cafeteria (although food options are limited).

Things to consider:

• Accompanying adult is charged a fee of RM10 (about USD2).

Pricing: Admission starts from RM48 (USD11) for weekday entry (no time limit). Additional RM10 admission applies for accompanying adult.

2. The Parenthood

Zany London theme aside, The Parenthood playgrounds offer plenty of good fun for little ones! They’re hugeeee!

There are plenty of sections to explore – the multi-level climbers are fitted with all kinds of fun obstacles and slides. There’s a fun interactive playscreen section too.

One of the reasons I personally love The Parenthood: it’s one of the cheapest indoor playgrounds in KL! Play rates start from RM19 (about USD4).

What I Like:

• Incredibly spacious play areas with extensive multi-level climbers.
• There’s a quieter area for babies and toddlers with lower slides and soft climbers.
• Admission fee is one of the cheapest around and includes 1 accompanying adult!
• There’s an attached cafeteria (although food options are limited).
• Located in malls – convenient to run errands / grab groceries in the same outing.

Things To Consider:

• The Parenthood playgrounds can get overwhelmingly crowded – especially on weekends. Go on weekdays if you can!

The Parenthood locations: Sunway Putra Mall | MyTOWN Shopping Centre | Sunway Pyramid | Melawati Mall | Central i-City Mall

Open to: Babies to 12-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM19 (USD4) for weekday entry (includes 1 accompanying adult; no time limit).

3. Kiztopia

This super popular Singaporean playground brand opened its first branch in Malaysia in 2024, and it’s fast becoming a beloved toddler play spot in the city!

The fact that it’s located within Toys “R” Us earns the playground extra fun points – nobody’s happier than a kid in a toy store and now we get to play in one too? Woohoo!

I notice a lot of indoor playgrounds in KL these days try to incorporate diverse activities, and I think Kiztopia does this really well.

There’s the classic soft play area with an (interactive!) ball pit and slides, and it’s wonderfully complemented with a costume dress-up section, a sensory sandbox, and a grocery store, cafe, clinic, and farm for pretend play.

What I like:

• Spacious and well-organized playground with really fun and diverse play areas!
• Admission fee includes 1 accompanying adult.

Things to consider:

• Currently, there’s only 1 location in KL.
• You can choose between a 2-hour or unlimited day pass but the price difference really isn’t all that much.

Kiztopia location: Level 2, Toys “R” Us, Mid Valley Megamall (Mid Valley City)

Open to: Babies to 12-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM42 (USD9.50) for 2-hour weekday entry (includes 1 accompanying adult).

4. Kids Nation

I love all the thought that has gone into this playful space!

We went to the one in Mont Kiara and the best feature of this kids’ indoor playground is the towering floor-to-ceiling children’s library that greets you right at the door! I like that the library gives little ones some downtime in between hopping and climbing around the play area.

The playground itself is well-designed! I love all the natural light shining through so you don’t get a lot of scary dark corners as you would at some indoor playgrounds.

What I like (based on the Mont Kiara branch I visited):

• Beautifully-designed play space with lots of natural light and clever use of different types of materials.
• That library! 
• Nappy changing room and kid-friendly washrooms provided.
• There’s an attached cafeteria for snacks and drinks.

Things to consider:

• It’s one of the priciest playgrounds in KL.

Kids Nation locations:

• Sunway 163 Mall (Mont Kiara)
• The Campus Ampang (KL)
• Main Place Mall (USJ 21)

Open to: Babies to 12-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM50 (USD11.50) for weekday entry (no time limit). Additional RM5 admission applies for accompanying adult.

You can buy Kids Nation tickets at the venue.

🍓PS. Sunway 163 has awesome kid-friendly cafes you can check out!

5. Little Pirates Playland

This indoor playground in Bukit Jalil is HUGE and has a fun pirate-y theme!

The space is fitted with all kinds of playful structures from a ship-shaped playground to a foam mountain little ones can climb to a super fun ball pit.

And that doesn’t even cover half of the stuff kids can play with here!

There’s a section with the cutest kids’ gym equipment, another with lit-up slides, a sea-themed swing, and a whole lot more!

It gets REALLY crowded on weekends though. Go on weekdays if you can.

What I like:

• It’s spacious (16,000 sq ft to be exact!) and offers more than 20 play areas to choose from.
• There’s a quieter area for babies and toddlers with lower slides and soft climbers.

Things to consider:

• Currently, there’s only 1 location in KL.

Little Pirates Playland location: Level 5, Pavilion Bukit Jalil 

Open to: Babies to 17-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM39 (USD9) for weekday entry (no time limit). Additional RM10 admission applies for accompanying adult.

6. Kidzoona

I randomly came across this indoor playground while on an errand in NU Empire Subang, and I’m so impressed with it that it’s become one of my go-to spots!

It’s a Japanese-based playground that promotes life skills through play. They have the cutest pretend stalls! Kids can run their own sushi bar, burger stall, and flower shop.

They even have a whole section of Magnatiles and similar open-ended toys!

The AEON Mall Shah Alam branch has the best ball pit with swings and a flying fox – and even has a parents’ section with work desks, plug points, and free Wi-Fi!

What I like:

• It’s one of the cheapest indoor playgrounds around! This applies to standard Kidzoonas, but even the premium Kidzoonas aren’t too expensive.
• The pretend food stalls are too cute and so much fun!
• Some branches are work-friendly for parents! 😀 

Things to consider:

• Most locations are in suburban areas. 

Kidzoona locations: 

• NU Empire Subang
• AEON Mall Shah Alam
• AEON Mall Cheras Selatan
• AEON Mall Taman Equine
• IOI Mall Putrajaya
• AEON Mall AU2
• Taman Maluri
• AEON Mall Rawang
• Central i-City

Open to: Babies to 17-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM18 (USD4) for weekday entry (3-hour time limit, includes 1 accompanying adult).

You can buy Kidzoona tickets at the venue.

🦖If you’re heading to the Shah Alam branch, there’s also the nearby Sultan Alam Shah Museum you can check out!

7. Starship Galactica

This space-themed indoor playground is located in one of the biggest malls in the world, which tells you a lot about finding anything and everything you need here! 😉

This indoor playground in Selangor has a similar soft-play setup to Jungle Gym and The Parenthood where there are multi-level padded climbers, ball pits, and slides.

I appreciate that the staff goes around the play areas to help parents keep an eye on their kids.

What I like:

• Incredibly spacious play areas with extensive multi-level climbers.
• There’s an attached cafeteria for snacks and drinks.

Things to consider:

• Currently, there’s only 1 location in PJ.
• It’s pretty pricey for a 3-hour entry.

Starship Galactica location: Level 2, 1 Utama Shopping Center, Petaling Jaya

Open to: Babies to 12-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM42 (USD9.50) for weekday entry (3-hour time limit). Additional RM8 admission applies for accompanying adult.

8. Waka Waka KL

If you’re looking for more cheap options for indoor playgrounds in KL, check out Waka Waka KL!

It’s conveniently located in KL city centre, and the entry rates are one of the cheapest around (plus, 2 adults enter free per child!).

The indoor play areas have a cute magical kingdom theme. There’s a toddler area for 18-month-olds to 3-year-olds with padded climbers and slides, rockers, and a small ball pit.

The bigger play area for kids aged 4 and up has big slides, tunnels, and a really cute mountain climbing area!

They host fun seasonal events too where kids can come dressed up to the theme.

Waka Waka KL location: Level LG, Furama Bukit Bintang Hotel, KL

10. Baby Shark Adventure Ville

If that all-too-annoying familiar tune of “Baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo” makes your kids’ day, you HAVE to bring them to this Baby Shark-themed indoor playground. 

It’s such a cool thing for kids to see all the popular Pinkfong characters featured on the climbers, sliders, and ball pits at this novelty play gym in Malaysia.

What I like about this place is that re-entry is allowed, so you can always go out for a meal or a nappy change, and come back in for more play time!

Baby Shark Adventure Ville locations:

• Pavilion Bukit Jalil
• Paradigm Mall
• Setia City Mall
• United Point Mall

Open to: 1 – 17-year-olds

Pricing: Admission starts from RM30 (USD7) for weekday entry (includes 1 accompanying adult).

11. Petrosains

This science-themed indoor playground in KLCC helps kids understand the world a little better through playful exhibits.

Older kids will understand the concepts better but I see younger toddlers having the time of their lives here too. There are all kinds of buttons and levers for them to play with, and it’s pretty fun to see how their actions lead to certain reactions.

Younger ones will also love the soft play area with giant blocks and tiny slides.

In the AI section, kids can ask pre-set questions to the robot and wait for his cheeky answers.

Petrosains location: Suria KLCC

Open to: All ages

🐠 If you’re planning to visit Petrosains, consider spending some time at Aquaria KLCC too. The calming underwater tunnel is my fave thing here!

Best Indoor Playgrounds in Kuala Lumpur for Older Kids & Teens

12. SuperPark Malaysia

SuperPark is an all-in-one indoor park that’s a lot of fun for the whole family, offering all kind of activities for different ages!

Although babies and toddlers are welcome to play at SuperPark (they have play areas for younger ones), I think older kids and teens will get the most use out of the admission ticket here.

Some of their best attractions:

• AR rock-climbing wall
• Pedal car racecourse
• Ninja obstacle course
• Flying fox
• All kinds of sports, including a baseball batting cage and basketball

13. District 21

This indoor adventure park in Putrajaya is super popular with older kids – I’m guessing the super-cool activities and the edgy post-apocalyptic vibes have a lot to do with it.

Here are some fun activities to try at District 21:

• Interactive power station climbing wall
• Free fall
• Suspended obstacle course
• Zipline

District 21 location: IOI City Mall Putrajaya

Open to: All ages but recommended for ages 6 and up.

Fun X World is HUGE and spans across two levels, with the entire upper level dedicated to a sprawling forest-themed playground.

This park is designed for parents to join in all the fun too! There’s a gigantic slide that takes up the central area of the playground – you’ll see mums and dads giggling away sliding down with their little ones here. 😛

You get a more unique selection of activities here too beyond the playground. The main level of Fun X World offers the following activities:

• Skate park with your choice of rollerblades or scooters

Best Kid-Friendly Cafes With Indoor Playgrounds

I love how easy it is to find cafes with indoor play areas in KL! They’re great for mom dates or getting some work done while the kids are happily occupied.

These are my favorite spots:

@mamasguidetomalaysia @Ngam Ngam Neighbourhood serves fast food with a wholesome twist, and I’m into it! We went to the one in @Tropicana Gardens Mall and I love the minimalist play area. My daughter and I had a wonderful time cackling away, making full use of the adult-friendly slide 😆 What I Like: ✅ Decent protein-rich menu options! I love that they offer ala carte options so you can build your own platters with things you do eat and avoid food waste. ✅ Work-friendly for parents, with plug points and good visibility of the play area. ✅ Ngam Ngam outlets are all in malls, which is convenient if you need to pick up groceries or do some shopping. Things To Consider: ✨ There’s a RM20 minimum spend per adult and RM10 per child. ✨ The playground varies from outlet to another. The Lalaport location’s playground is pretty extensive! 📍Outlets: – Lalaport BBCC – Tropicana Gardens Mall – Nu Sentral (in Decathlon) – IOI City Mall Putrajaya (this location doesn’t have a playground though) Need more kid-friendly cafe ideas?

16. Ngam Ngam Neighbourhood

This is one of the best work-friendly cafes with play areas in town!

There are a few locations to choose from, and they all have a minimalist yet extra-fun play area. What I especially appreciate is the abundance of plug points and seating areas, and how you get a good view of the entire play area from your seat!

I love the protein-rich menu too. You can go for their sets or make up your own meal with flexible à la carte options.

Ngam Ngam Neighbourhood locations:

• Lalaport BBCC
• Tropicana Gardens Mall
• Decathlon @ NU Sentral

17. The Red Beanbag

The Red Beanbag is the perfect spot for mamas to wind down with some good coffee while the little ones enjoy themselves in the awesome play space.

I love play areas that are properly curated, and the one here is absolutely well done. There are Pikler-style climbers, an adorable treehouse, a whole row of books, and plenty of open-ended toys.

For extra convenience, there’s a family room for nappy changes and nursing. Diapers are provided 🙂

I especially appreciate that the kids’ menu is properly thought about. You know how some places just put ‘nuggets and fries’ in the kid’s section and call it a day? Not here. They have a wonderful fruit salad and a selection of mains.

There’s also an option to have boiled eggs on the side to add some protein to the carb-heavy dishes.

Get more info on visiting The Red Beanbag:

• Address: G-2, Menara Mudajaya, Mutiara Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya (near IKEA Damansara)
• Opening Hours: 8.30 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily

18. Marmalade

Marmalade’s cozy play area has a bunch of cooking stations and toys where kids can serve up their version of brunch. The food here is excellent and the coffee’s just as good.

Marmalade’s a great spot for me to get some work done while my daughter plays. There’s a counter space overlooking the play area so I can be on my laptop while keeping an eye on her.

Get more info on visiting Marmalade:

• Address: F18, 1st Floor Bangsar Village 59100 Kuala Lumpur

Best Kid-Friendly Cinemas With Indoor Playgrounds

It boggles my mind to think that going to the cinema is one of the best toddler activities in KL these days. What used to be a sensory nightmare has now been given an awesome kid-friendly update.

In these kiddy halls, the lights are brighter, the movie volume is lowered, and kids are encouraged to run around and play.

19. Play Halls, GSC Cinemas

I feel like GSC sets the gold standard for what a kid-friendly cinema should be. Their play areas are huge. Depending on the locations, they’ll have things like ball pits, multi-level climbers, and a reading section.

I love that they keep neurodivergent kids in mind with sensory-friendly screenings. The nursery provided also doubles as a break room for overstimulated kiddies who could use some quiet time. 

20. Junior Halls, TGV Cinemas

We watched The Little Mermaid here for my daughter’s first trip to the cinema and she had a blast!

There’s a huge play area before going into the cinema. There are Barbies, Hot Wheels, Mega Bloks, and more to play with.

We chose a comfy twin seater where we can snuggle and sing Part of Your World together. There’s a small playground in the hall itself for when kids get bored of sitting down.

Indoor Playground Kuala Lumpur: One Last tip!

Okay, so those are some of the best kids’ indoor playground Kuala Lumpur has to offer!

Make sure to bring socks for yourself and your kids, as most play areas require them. Otherwise, you’ll have to buy them at the playground.
