"Yo-ho...Yo-Ho...A Pirate's Life For Me..!!"

I've been meaning to write this post for ages but due to the enormous assignments I had to finish and preparation for the DMT exam, I simply had no time to do so. So, here it is, 7 months later, I finally am writing (typing, to be exact) about this cool water play park for kids in Singapore: The Port of Lost Wonder.

The Port of Lost Wonder is a water play park for kids between 3 to 12 years old. It's located on Sentosa Island and opens daily between 10 am until 6:30 pm. The entrance fee is S$ 15 per child on week ends or public holiday and entitles the child for a whole-day play, 100 curio coins and a Port Pass. Weekdays entrance fee is only S$ 10 per child for a whole-day play, 50 curio coins and a Port Pass. Accompanying adult gets free entrance. Hooraaay!!

And ooh, a Port Pass has stamp collection pages, stickers, the map of the park. Children can collect stamps on their pass to win special prizes. The Curio coins are paper coins that the kids can use to "pay" for certain activities inside the park such as bubble pool or getting snacks. Cool!!

So, after paying at the entrance, we got into the park. It has massive pirate ship-like structure that splash a giant bucketful of water every few minutes or so. After finding a shady spot on the grass (fake plastic grass, actually. So no worries on getting dirty), the kids are ready to have some water fun!

Children below 110 cm must be accompanied by adults while playing and everybody must be in their swimwear to play in the pirate ship water play area. Kids who are not yet toilet trained? Don't forget to put on your swimming diapers!

The pirate ship is surrounded with wast water play area. The floor is soft and non slippery so it's safe for kids, even if they are running around.

This red slides are for the use of the little ones, but believe me, parents can't resist the temptation! =D

Ten minutes bubble play cost 3 curios

The sand area. The kids totally love this!

When you are hungry, just order some munchies from the Port Belly. They will deliver your order to your spot under the shades. The chips (fries), chicken cocktails, potato wedges and chicken wings are pretty good but I find the onion rings too oily.

Last but not least, a trip to a fun place like this is not complete without commenting on the potty place. The Nauti-Potty, as they call it, is clean and spacious. The hand washing area has sinks for kids too. The shower has hot and cold water. The door is even divided into 2 parts, top and bottom, so the kids can take a shower by themselves in some privacy by closing the bottom part of the door. However, the floor in the Nauti-Potty can be slippery when wet as they are not covered with some anti slip strips or carpets. So, be extra careful there.

And oh, forgot to mention that the PoLW has free wi-fi too, which is great for a traveller like me who too cheap to buy a data roaming package (or is it roaming data package?). I can browse or play games on my iPad while waiting for the kids. Hooraaay!
