Meanwhile, kids can also have a taste of speed when battling out in mini powerboats, and enjoy more fun games at the inflatable playground at DB North Plaza. All activities are FREE!

Inflatable Slide x Beach Arena1 – Your must-try! The six gigantic inflatable slides come in various heights (3m, 4.5m, 6m and 8m). After trying the “modest” slides, get ready to climb the ladder for the ultimate test of courage: the 8-metre- tall sensational slide!

If you think you are agile and spry, then the inflatable Beach Arena is not something to be missed. Be prepared to dodge giant inflatable rods coming at you from all sides at the "Sweeper", and push your limb coordination to the limit at the "Brave Young Jumper"! The beanbag sofas, deck chairs and beach umbrellas are all free for use, and the giant misting arch offers a quick way to cool off and chill out.
