The Joy Of Toys at Clarke Quay Central represents a revolutionary approach to children\\s entertainment, serving as Singapore\\s premier specialty indoor playground that prioritizes imagination-powered play over battery-operated entertainment.

Additional amenities such as baby care rooms, diaper bag lockers, feeding chairs, and a beverage area serving light snacks and coffee make it a comfortable destination for extended family visits, establishing it as a premier child-centric destination in Singapore\\s Chinatown district.
Love this place for calm and quiet play. Toys are good quality, place is clean, they have separate areas for babies and for older kids, AC is a bit too cold so if you stay for hour or longer bring a sweater for yourself and the kids. No eating or drinking allowed within play area but can snack at separate little zone, also they have drinks and snacks for sale and free water for making formula. Must wear socks and they provide slippers for when you need to go to the toilet.

I like that there’s a variety of toys to keep my kid entertained. The play area was orderly and the parents there were all pretty helpful in keeping the place safe for all the kids. Remember to bring socks!

Love love it. I could really rest and do my work while my kids were playing. There were toys everywhere like doll houses, trains, mind puzzles, kitchen set, musical instruments etc. My kids don't like noise and the rah rah (e.g. loud play areas with ball pits) and so they were in their comfort zone over here. I highly recommend this place for parents who need some time off as well. Couches were very comfy.

My son’s favourite spot. Do you underestimate the fun your kids can experience based on the size of this outlet. There are sufficient toys to last your kids for the 2 hours sessions. Price is worthwhile (weekend: SGD29 inclusive 2 adults). The best part is there are seats for adults to do your work or just chill!

A very lovely play area. We visited only the main play area, and have came back 3 times already. The long train set on a short table is then highlight for sure. Well maintained train sets, at a low height means the younger ones can play together. If the train area is busy, they have several 'corners' for pretend play, puzzles, ball runs and ample seating area for the parents. they also provide a water dispenser which is extremely helpful. The only downside is the plave is really cold. Recommend to bring a jacker if you're planning a play session here!
