Kidster
Kidster is an indoor children's playground located on Level 7 of Gurney Plaza in George Town, Penang. Designed as a recreational space where children can play and expend energy in a safe indoor environment, the facility offers a range of play structures and activity zones catering to toddlers and older children. Its location within one of Penang’s major shopping malls makes it a convenient stop for families visiting the mall.
Location
Kidster occupies units 170-07-05/06 on Level 7 of Gurney Plaza, a large retail complex along Persiaran Gurney in George Town. The playground is situated within the mall’s upper floors, an area that hosts various entertainment and family-oriented attractions.
Being indoors, the facility provides a climate-controlled environment suitable for play regardless of weather conditions. This makes it particularly useful for families seeking indoor activities for children while shopping or visiting the mall.
Play Areas and Facilities
Kidster features a variety of play zones designed to encourage physical activity, exploration, and imaginative play. The facility incorporates several large-scale play structures as well as dedicated activity areas.
Infinity Ball Pool
One of the most prominent features of the playground is its Infinity Ball Pool, a large pool filled with blue and white balls. The ball pool serves as a central play area where children can jump, slide, and play freely.
Slides
The playground includes multiple slides of varying designs and difficulty levels. These include:
- Wavy racing slides designed for children to slide side-by-side.
- Steeper drop-style slides that provide a faster descent.
- Slides connected to climbing structures within the play maze.
The slides are integrated into the larger play structures, allowing children to move between climbing areas and sliding sections.
Adventure Maze and Climbing Structures
An adventure maze forms another key element of the playground. This section contains interconnected tunnels, climbing frames, and obstacle-style elements designed to challenge children’s agility and coordination. Children can climb, crawl, and navigate through the structure as part of active play.
Interactive and Creative Play Zones
Kidster also includes several interactive play areas intended to encourage imaginative and creative play. These sections may include spaces for pretend play as well as activity zones where children can participate in simple do-it-yourself or creative tasks.
These areas provide an alternative to purely physical play, allowing children to engage in quieter or more imaginative activities.
Visitor Information
Kidster operates daily and accepts children through a ticketed entry system. The playground uses a day-pass format that allows children to leave the premises temporarily and return later on the same day.
