Timezone Kids

My kids always ask us to bring them to Timezone whenever we pass by it in the malls. They are attracted to the noise and bright neon lights. However, we're not too keen on bringing them there because some of the games inside are very violent and too overstimulating for young children. So when we saw this Timezone for kids at City Square Mall, we were very intrigued. We brought them in but, as with our policy regarding kiddy rides, we did not put in any tokens to activate the games.

They have Whack-a-mole
just the right height for them!


Jayna: "Mummy! I've got 2 hammers!"

Joash: "Hmm... Isn't this supposed to be
a touch-screen? Why isn't it responding?"

"Playing" side by side

Dance machine for kids!!!
(The songs are all nursery rhymes.)


It was fun enough to throw
the balls at the screen...


... and playing with the hammers!

Jayna: "Oops! This is too high for me to reach."

Jayna: "I'll just be contented
with the police bike then."

I was quite surprised when Jayna took out the big gun, pointed it at the screen and went "Bang! Bang!" Where did she learnt that from???


There were also games where you are supposed to catch the various types of fishes. Joash could identify most of the sea creatures which appeared on the screen. (e.g. clown fish, flying fish, puffer fish, stingray, shark, jellyfish, squid, angel fish, turtles...) Well, at least those which we could name and teach him. Heh heh...
