Cool De Sac Singapore Indoor Playground, Suntec City Mall


Cool de-sac is a place in Suntec City where your toddlers and kids can play in relatively large indoor parks while you are enjoying a meal. We were planning to visit there for a while but we could only find chance to go there today.

Cool de sac Singapore offers an indoor playground for kids and a nice place to hang-out for the adults. Cool de-sac is in Suntec City Mall, near the overhead bridge connecting Suntec City and Marina Square Shopping center. Enterance fee in the weekend is 13 SGD per toddler between 7 months and 35 months and 26 SGD for kids over 3 years old. In weekdays, it is 10 SGD and 20 SGD. For infants below 7 months, enterance is free. 1 child entitles 2 adult entries. The place is open from 10 AM to 10 PM and these prices for unlimited access to the indoor playground for a day.

One of the most important thing for me is a separate playgrounds for older kids and young toddlers. My daughter is 16 months old and in playgrounds it is quite common that an 4+ years old hits her accidentally while running wildly around. Cool de-sac has a separate toddler area which is quite rich enough. The only problem is that this area is frequently visited by 5+ years olds who again run around and jumps on the kids so you still need to keep a good eye on your young one. And the management in Cool de-sac should do more to prevent them to go in or at least jump around in the toddler area.

The playground for toddlers is named Tots. The area is for kids under 3 years of age. Crawling babies and toddlers can enjoy playing with toys or in bubble pools.

Play Area is a large and secure area for kids aged 3 years to 12 years. There are some nice slides and tunnels. There is also another area for older kids named Tree House. These tree houses are connected with a suspended bridge and is a quite fun place for the kids.

Other than these play areas there are sections for video games, arts and dressing up (called backstage).

If you are planning to visit the place frequently, you can have a Cool Pass for $188 which entitles you for 10 entries within 6 months and discounts on food and purchased items. There is also an annual pass for 508 SGD which entitles you for unlimited access for 12 months and 20% discount on food, items and birthday parties.

H&M is expanding in Singapore and Asia


It has been almost 2 years since Swedish high street fashion label Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) opened its first flagship store in Singapore. Since than the company has already opened five stores in Singapore. The newest three H&M stores have opened their doors in JEM, VivoCity and Suntec City last month. The flagship F&M store is in Orchard Building and the second shop was opened in November 2011 in Ion Orchard.

H&M sales increased in Singapore in the second half of 2012 for 38% compared to the second half of 2011 mostly thanks to the opening of their second store in Ion Orchard.

Other than opening new shops H&M has also decided to add a 4th level to its Orchard Building store which will be dedicated to kid's department. The kid's department, currently sharing a floor with Manswear department, saw a very strong sale which brings 20% of Singapore's total sales for H&M. The kidswear prices in H&M in Singapore range from $7.9 for a jersey top to $49.9 for a jacket. H&M Kid's concept store will sell merchandise ranging from new born to pre-teens aged 8 years to 14 years. The 2,800-square-meter store currently spans three levels with a complete range of fashion and accessories for women, men, teenagers and kids.

By the end of 2013, H&M is planning to add 60 stores to its existing 148 stores across China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. H&M offers a reputation as an international brand as well as a value-for-money proposition. Since shopping for fashion is a very populat activity for many Singaporeans the international brands like H&M finds it quite easy to sell in Singapore. When the first shop was opened in Singapore in September 2011, there were long queues in front of the Orchard Building shop where many has waited for long hours to be the first few to enter the flagship store.
