From the team of attraction geeks that brought you Art-Zoo Inflatable Park, they are also bringing you the world’s first indoor suspended net playground located at City Square Mall.
Scaling The Mall Experience
Driven by a desire to reinvent the physical shopping experience, the AIRZONE project is a completely new experience and unique attraction that would excite and maximise untapped spaces in-between floors of City Square Mall. It features a net playground concept suspended within the confines of City Square Mall’s shopping atrium.
The community-centric attraction is really a platform for introducing the latest in cool, fun activities to the shopper by the shopper. AIRZONE empowers shoppers to choose new activities they would like featured by encouraging them to vote for the next activity.
With a continuous flow of entertainment experiences and new content, AIRZONE aims to generate an endless flow of aspirational active entertainment content to feed the millennial social media set.
In the long-run, AIRZONE aims to create the ultimate ‘shopper community’ with a focus on Entertainment, Empowerment and Engagement. Shopping mall atrium spaces (both on the floor and in the air) will be converted into core interaction and entertainment zones. With a constant engagement of the shopper community, retail sponsorship, promotions and bundling opportunities will become available – bringing further marketing opportunities to the mall.
The “AIRSTRONAUT” Journey
The AIRZONE attraction is an elevated playground with distinct themed zones containing unique games with at least one (1) access and one (1) exit point per platform (floor level). In between the floor levels, mezzanine net levels can also be installed to create additional activity spaces.
Originally designed as “safety nets’ for trapeze or ‘high wire’ circus acts, the suspended structures have since evolved into suspended playgrounds or adventure courses with broad appeal. The netted structures in place are strong enough to suspend two fully laden Singapore passenger buses lying on their sides!
The versatility of the nets creates a transformable space with the potential to offer a variety of attractions and entertainment options, as well as bespoke experiences that target a multitude of market segments.
The AIRZONE attraction boasts 4 levels of activities starting with a Play Zone on level 3 featuring a suspended ball pit, bouncy balls and giant Zorb balls. This level will provide an easy introduction to a unique “space walking” experience – fall and bounce around on the net or perhaps just lay down and experience the mall from a different perspective.
On level 4, a free-roaming Games and Activity Zone offers “Airstronauts” the opportunity for creativity and imagination. This space is also a hireable events space which could be cleared to host mini events and group activities for our communities, for example, Fitness classes, Trampoline classes and Dodgeball sessions.
On level 5, “Airstronauts” will go an adventure navigating an obstacle course of small paths and slopes in the Maze Zone.
Finally, the highlight of the attraction will take “Airstronauts” on a fast track down a giant slide from level 6 to level 5.
Airstronauts can look forward to new activities to be introduced to at least one level of the nets every six (6) months. Potential new elements include “high rope” obstacles, mini-ziplines, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality experiences, laser tag, silent disco, and aerobics & workouts just to name a few.
The Background
The majority of these net attractions are situated outdoors in an ‘eco-friendly’ natural setting where trees are used structurally instead of concrete columns or poles. The Airzone project aims to change this, by creating a ‘world first’ attraction (and retail experience) by introducing a proven outdoor ‘suspended net playground’ concept into shopping centre atriums.
In the unlikely situation of an emergency, there are designated emergency exits at every level of the nets. First-aid trained AIRZONE staff are present on site to assist.
“Airstronauts” are advised against wearing skirts for the best AIRZONE experience. Hand sanitisers and toilets facilities are available on site. Food and drinks are not permitted on AIRZONE.
A maximum of 60 pax will be allowed on AIRZONE at any one time, with around 20 pax per level. There is also a maximum allowable weight of 120kg for participants.
Prices start at SGD20 for a 30 minutes session and SGD65 for a special 4-sessions pass for Singapore Residents including Permanent Residents and Pass holders. You could also pre-book a slot online from SGD18 to guarantee a slot at your preferred time.
Tickets include free locker hire* to store loose personal items and also boasts a charging port for your mobile devices.
