SuperPark
Imported from Finland last November, SuperPark is an all-in-one indoor activity park, that boasts a 3,716m² space on the upper floors of Iconsiam. An indoor theme park minus towering rollercoasters, there are 25 energetic activities to enjoy.
The space is divided into three zones — Adventure, Game and Freestyle Hall. The Game Arena offers sports-related activities that deliver engaging challenges for kids and adults. Visitors can take practice swings at baseball courts, learn to become a better shooter at the basketball hoops or try to beat Robo Keeper, a computer-controlled football goalkeeper, with their impressive kicks. The Adventure Area features Kid’s Adventure City with towers to climb and tunnels to slide through. There is also a super ninja track for kids to practice dealing with physical obstacles. There are even exciting zipline courses that are suitable and safe for children.
The Freestyle Hall is where you’ll find bouncing trampoline beds, a synthetic ice skating rink, an eight-metre high rock climbing wall to strengthen your grip, small boxing rings and a skateboard and scooter park that comes complete with ramps, rails and kickers. The park lends visitors all the equipment needed like ice-skating shoes to safety helmets and skateboards.
The park also offers six spacious rooms for children’s birthday parties. Ticket prices vary depending on the time visited: 10am-1pm is B450 per person, 1.30-5.30pm is B500 and after 6pm costs B300 on weekdays and B380 on weekends. A one-day pass is B450 on weekdays and B650 on weekends. Open daily 10am-9pm / Iconsiam, Charoen Nakhon Road / Call 02-073-0917, visit www.superpark.co.th.
