10 Months: 2nd time to Royce Kids Gym at Liang Court

Okie, my conclusion is... This place is darn EXPENSIVE. Brought along Adelle for play today (Her mummy has brought her 2 elder siblings to watch the YOG), and for her entry, it is $22 because she is not a member! Phew! The place was not crowded, probably because it was a weekday and also maybe parents are playing it safe as the HFMD is rather high nowadays. Though it was quiet, at exactly one hour, we were asked to leave. Naturally, the kids were disappointed as they hadn't had their kick. For Adelle, this place is a little too junior for her (she's 3 by the way)... besides playing with dolls and cooking (which she already has at home), there is nothing much new for her to experience. Looking at this, i probably wouldn't enroll Andre for a 2nd year. He doesn't seem so excited after the 2nd trip.

Started off Sailing Sailing..
Adelle chopping up some strawberry cake. Its a tough one... so she ended up pulling the velcro apart.

Poor Andre thought it was a jumperoo ... was jumping and jumping, but did not get the BOING... Can see he was pretty disappointed, cos he tried again and again. But there weren't any jumperoos around. Too bad son..

(on a side note, this exersaucer was very dirty. In the grooves of the gadgets, i could see layers of dried dust.. Yucks.. But this was perhaps the only equipment Andre enjoyed most that day, tracing the bumble bee from left to right and vice versa)

OK, pushing the cart again...

Knock knock, who's there? Nobody's inside, except for a frightful looking Barney

Final conclusion, this place looks good on pictures.. colour and variety .. But the actual place get boring after a while. Not too sure on toys cleanliness, but there are many toys there, do you expect the staff to clean every nick, groove and detail like we do at home? From what i see, cleaning these toys are so much harder than the typical gym equipment where the structures are bigger and more basic. These toys are suitable for babies and at this age, they drool and gum on anything their little hands can grab.

Well, I'll probably return.. to make the $50 upfront a little more worth it. But i won't recommend anyone else to join. We have cheaper, better options out there.

By the way, they have price tags on all their equipment. I can't help think its another money grubbing establishment.
