SINGAPORE, Oct 23 — Fans of South Korea’s animated character Pororo can get up close and personal with the penguin and other characters from the famous television animation show when Pororo Park Singapore opens its doors on November 11.

Located at Marina Square, the 11,000 sqf indoor “edutainment playground”, currently the largest character-themed indoor playground in Singapore, will feature similar attractions as its Korean counterpart — with the exception of the Hinoki Experience, which will not be found here. However, other popular entertainment facilities will be present including Pororo Express, a train ride for kids; Pororo House, a replica of Pororo’s house as seen in the programme; and Eddy and Petty’s Rooms, two classrooms/activity rooms where educational classes as well as reading classes (conducted by instructors from MindChamps) will regularly be held.

The 60-seater Loopy’s Cafe will offer dishes and desserts (offering diners a view of the Marina Bay skyline). There will also be a retail store for those who want to bring a memento of their Pororo experience home.

Kim Ji-won, CEO of DreamUs Edutainment, the company behind Pororo Park, said: “Pororo Park Singapore aims to be the premier indoor playground in Singapore with top-quality attractions, well-loved characters and a unique mix of education and entertainment elements. Modern busy parents will now have a one-stop location to entertain and educate their energetic, inquisitive young children.”

Pororo Park Singapore opens on November 11 at #02-29 Marina Square. Opening hours are from 10.30am to 8pm (Sundays to Thursdays) and 10.30am to 9pm (Fridays and Saturdays). — TODAY
