Indoor playground - Rigolus Park (closed)

Rigolus Park is our 2nd favourite indoor playground (the first is Royal Kids). Unlike Royal Kids, Rigolus Park is all about huge bouncy castles! Once in a while, they will even change the bouncy castles so there are always a varieties. What you see this month, may be different 2-3 months later. During summer, they will open up their garden for outdoor play with water fun! OMG! So the children get to enjoy indoor play as well as outdoor. Awesome!
Mummy, look at us! Sofa!
They also host companies bonding session. So companies who are spontaneous can go check it out! I saw a video on some companies events on their website and it look fun.

They organize birthday parties, parents get to have free wifi services. The only thing lacking, is their food menu. Not really a lot of choices except if you don't mind waffles and crepes. And the usual coffee, soft drinks and ice-cream.

They have a spacious big carpark which is very good for school bus to park there. The entrance fee is cheap compare to other indoor play at 11euro for unlimited play.

For some parents who prefer to sit at the tables, they might not like it as certain play areas are obstructed so they can't see where their children. But I'm fine with it, as I prefer to follow my kids in case they get push, they fall down or get struck. Overall, I will bring my kids there as much as possible. I just have to make sure I will plan it in a way it is not too near their meal time in case, I have to find food for them.








Trampoline - great way to tire the kids!

Indoor Playgrounds in Toulouse, France - Royal kids

*updated: new trampolines!

The kids have been begging me to go indoor playground, I finally said 'yes'. Royalkids has added a new trampoline area and that kind of filled up all the empty spaces in there.  Yipee!

 There is also an interactive game in the disco room now, where the kids can dance and pop the balloons at the same time. Hooray!


My kids favorite indoor playground is Royal kids. I love to go there too. Why? Because I can get to play too. Haha! Kidou Recre at do not allow adults at the play areas and they are very strict about it. There was one time a man went up the play area to help his toddler but the staff announced on the microphone that he is not allowed in there. I can imagine how embarrassing it was for him as everyone turned to look at him. But then, the toddler need help, right? What to do? The poor father just watched his toddler cried up there. So silly of the staff.

Royal kids is one big jungle gym and you get to climb with your children if they need help. Or if you just want to do some workout. ;) There is also cars driving section (you need to buy token from the staff), and you can ride with your child. And another section for arcades playing (they recently add initial D car racing). There is a giant lego section, a soccer area and a disco section. Woohoo!

For the adults, there is a free wifi corner to surf your internet and magazines corner (in French only). The Cafe I thought serve reasonably good food. Example burgers, fries, waffles, crepes, nuggets, pizza, etc. My kids always love their kids menu which consist of nuggets and fries, caprisun drink, apple purée and a free token for the car ride. And I always order the waffles and burgers. Yummy!

They also organise birthday parties with different packages. I think one of the packages include royal kids' mascot. It's a cute dragon. ;)


Giant lego!

Ball pit is a must

Indoor Playgrounds in Toulouse, France - Kidou Recre

Fancy a playground to go on a rainy, windy or cold days? Seriously, staying at home with energetic children the whole time or even a few hours with them can drive you nuts. I love going out, with kids or without, I can't even warm up my sofa seat at home.

When I discovered the insanely amount of playgrounds in Singapore - indoor, outdoor and water play parks, I would make sure my kids go to this places. Some you need to pay and some totally free! Can you imagine, every shopping malls, place of interests, heartland areas have at a least one playground for the kids?! Even with no cars, you can still take train or bus to the playgrounds within a short time. That's what I love about Singapore.

When my family have to move to France, my first thought was where I could bring my kids to play everyday? Honestly, you can't really bring them out to play everyday unless you are talking about your own home garden (if you are lucky). The weather could be cold today and sunny tomorrow. Or it could be sunny but soooo windy. We can't go indoor playgrounds all the time. Firstly, it is costly. Secondly, it could be out of the way for people with no cars and thirdly, indoor playgrounds don't open everyday except Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Huh?

Ok, enough talk. The very first indoor playground I went to was

1. Kidoc Recre
    6 Rue Théron de Montaugé, 31200 Toulouse
    accessible by metro.
 This is one part of the play area. There are some more play areas on the right hand side (not shown in pic).

 Adults are not allowed on the play areas so make sure your children are confident enough.
 This is the baby area. For up to 2years old. A little pathetic i would say. But adults are allow inside.
 Trampolines! 1 child per trampoline so it's quite safe even for the smaller children.
 Hello Mr sun! Initially, alittle difficult for Stacy (3 years old at that time). Now she's an expert.
 The slide is very high so younger children can be scared of this but once they figure it out, it's great fun for them!
The recommended age for this is 5 years old and above. There are actually more obstacles at the other side, i just managed to take this part. Haha. Younger children will have a tough time coming out and may cry. And if that happen, sorry, no adults allow in the play area, the children just have to figure it out by themselves. (Seriously, the staff made an announcement on the microphone telling the father to get off the play area when he was trying to help his child).

I would say it's great fun and exercise for older kids (3 years and above). Younger children will have limited things to play. The place also have a cafeteria , the usual coffee, waffles sweets,  ice-cream and some hot food. Reasonably priced.

Stacy (4 years old) seems to like the place, Erica (2years old) will need some help and for me, i'm bored. Cos' i can't play with my children in the play area.  Haha.
