SuperPark, the friendliest all-in-one indoor activity park in the world from Finland, is about to bring a new wave of energy into Singapore’s lifestyle scene. SuperPark Singapore will officially launch in Singapore on 17 November 2018!
Boasting almost 40,000 square foot at Suntec City, SuperPark Singapore will bring joyful play to Singaporeans from all walks of life, offering over 20 fun, healthy, exciting and energizing activities under one roof. Expect bubbling laughter, beaming smiles and red cheeks from kids, teenagers and adults alike.
Following SuperPark Hong Kong, that will celebrate its first anniversary soon, SuperPark Singapore will also live and breathe the authentic SuperPark concept and feature three distinct areas:
The first SuperPark opened in Vuokatti, Finland in 2012, and was soon followed by 12 more sites in the Nordic country. Now, the ‘Superparking lifestyle’ is going global. SuperPark Singapore marks the continuation of an international expansion wave that includes Hong Kong, China, Sweden and France. The dream is to see hundreds, if not thousands, of SuperParks all over the globe, bringing families together through the power of joyful play.

3. How does SuperPark differ from other indoor activity parks?
SuperPark’s facilities are designed so that everyone of all ages and fitness levels can come together to have fun with 25 activities under one roof. We bring in a lot of our Finnish culture and values into SuperPark as well. As such, children are encouraged to explore, to learn and to develop as a team when they play at SuperPark. We enhance your play experience by integrating digital and technology features – example, instead of traditional trampoline, we put mini games on the screen that player is required to complete the challenge, allowing you do exercise and have something fun at the same time. There are also no motorized, theme park-style rides: the human body is the engine for all SuperPark activities. You are made to move so we want everyone of all ages to come together and have fun at SuperPark!
4. On a personal note, what are some of your favourite activities at SuperPark?
My favourite activity at SuperPark would most definitely be baseball! Baseball is part of ‘Game Arena’, one of the three themed areas at SuperPark. You can give this activity a try when SuperPark Singapore debuts on 17 November and practice swinging your bat. If you want a little more challenge, radar, digitalization and cannon can also be added for that extra competitiveness.
