Today I went to Sentosa with my family, after cancelling one student. I am ok with the cancellation, and have been wanting to explore this place with thoughts of bringing my students there to play after their SA2 ends.
Anyway, POLW refers to Port Of Lost World. It is a small place with a huge water playground for the kids. There are about three water slides, one red that is uncovered, one blue half-covered and one fully covered green slide. Any kids below the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult, while the rest can just have their fun without parental supervision. Also,they have a foaming tub for the kids to play foam, though I must admit, their foam comes with a weird smell. It was gone once they were out of the tub.
They also have this game area where my brother threw beach balls with a group of children using a round 'mat'. They will try to keep the ball above the mat and prevent it from falling out of the mat. The coordinator will set a number while the children try to reach the target set for throwing the ball by lifting the mat. Interesting. There is a sand area there so be sure to bring your sand sculpting tools for sandcastle building, minus the waves.
The shower system is awesome! With the adjustable heat you don't have to worry if the water is too cold. They also have an interesting door system for the parents to supervise the kids while they bathe themselves.
Of course, there is a place for parents to relax. There are mattresses beside the playground and food will be delivered to you after you have placed an order at the counter. Most of them are shaded so it is really time for parents to relax while children just play to the max. The food is also quite affordable. Thin-crust pizza cost about $20, nasi briani cost about $9, and together with fries, chicken wings and a salad will cost you about $50. There is a reason why the 'quite' is beside the 'affordable'. d:|
The admission for adults is FREE. Children's price is as stated in their website. Parents can play with the kids. My dad went through the slides with my brother, who was so scared that he did not seem to enjoy himself. There wasn't any port pass or curio coins. I think it is just something else for the birthday parties held there or for their members to collect their rewards.
Just wonder in the map is a shop of sovenirs, Port Belly is their eating area while Nauti Potty is the bathing room and washroom. The water was super cold due to the cold atmosphere. I am glad I made it through the three hours while playing with my brother, cousin and nephew.
Do note that after this all kids and parents who participated with them will be exhausted. I had a four hour nap after reaching home. My brother slept through the journey home.
