Latte Dad

Forget "ladies who lunch."  It's the 21st Century and time for the rise of the Latte Dad:  "typically youngish, bearded men, pushing prams, carrying their babies in slings or hanging out with their toddlers".    We meet up to chat about football, the weather, and the joys of truly equal parenting.  A latte dad vlog coming a playground near you soon.

Indoor Playgrounds

Aquarius Cove

In this episode of Latte Dad, we check out Aquarius Cove on the search for the Best Indoor Playground in Singapore.  With Michael at an age where he is crawling and exploring, a safe and fun environment is the perfect way for him to burn off some energy, learn and meet new friends.  

Tots Society

Checking out another indoor playground in Singapore, this episode we visit Tots Society.  A family-friendly, cosy & clean playroom dedicated to toddlers and babies where you can enjoy quality playtime with your loved ones in a safe environment.  It certainly isn't your typical indoor softplay!  

Amazonia

In this episode we check out Amazonia Fun at Great World City; one of Singapore's longest running and largest family indoor playgrounds.  It also boasts home to the biggest indoor slide.

The Polliwogs Indoor Playground

In this Latte Dad episode we check out The Polliwogs Indoor Playground at Suntec City and we are joined by Michael's BFFs: Monty and Milo, otherwise known as the 3M's.  

The Polliwogs Singapore @ Vivo city

After checking out The Polliwogs @ Suntec City indoor playground and being a big fan, we decided to visit The Polliwogs Singapore @ Vivo City as it's much closer to our house.   We also had a special guest join us on this episode of Latte Dad! 

Cool de Sac

Just before Singapore Circuit Breaker, we visited Cool de Sac at Suntec City. And now it looks as though Cool de Sac has fallen victim to the dreaded Corona Virus and has now closed down after 6 years at Suntec City, which is a real shame as I did think this was one of the better indoor playgrounds.

VLOG
