LinDees Playland, a 10 000 square feet indoor playground located on the second floor in Hartamas Shopping Centre caught my attention while attending a parenting talk held there a couple of months ago.
Recently, I had the perfect reason to bring my little girl after a mommy friend of mine invited us to attend a Frozen themed playgroup session that took place there.
While many of the playgrounds in Malaysia is built based on western design and concept, LinDees Playland welcomed us with a Malaysian twist in it.
The moment we step into the play area, a vibrant yellow old school metal swing welcomed us.
The play land plays numerous Malaysian children folk songs throughout our time spent there. Listening to the song “Jong jong inai, mak ipung rajawali”, “sepak tunggul inai, berdarah ibu kaki” definitely brings nostalgic memories to many Malaysian parents like me.
Layout
LinDees welcome kids of 0-12 years of age. At the playland, children can explore a vast selection of play areas equipped with sensory rich features with its unique concepts and themes.
Manja Nest
Upon entering the play area, on your left is Manja Nest, a space specifically designed for babies below 2 years of age to safely crawl and explore.
