Have you been to entertainment city? Well, I think you should drop by and bring along your kids because entertainment city, especially Okada Manila Offers a new place for you and your kids to enjoy this Feb 10! 

Okada Manila is a beautifully interior place you mainly love the place for picture perfect corners and ceilings, but they are now offering a new place called PLAY near the Casino Area!
Harvey and I got the first dibs on this American inspired playground, where kids can enjoy. Hop in and I will show you what you can find inside this new attraction at Play Okada! Upon the entrance you will be greeted by the smiles of the receptionist of PLAY Okada. You will be asked to sign the waiver form.
Next they will hand you your arm ticket lace as well to stamp. Like most of the playground they are requiring each one, especially children to wear socks, but don’t worry if you and your child doesn’t have any they will provide you one. Slip-on slippers for adults and socks for kids. You can sit down on the benches while changing to your slip-ons. They provide many shelves for your shoes and if you have that huge bag don’t worry, you can deposit it in the lockers provided.

Once my #littleSamson got into the venue PLAY He got so excited because it resembles Blippi themed park videos. We all know that there are lots of Play spaces around the Metro Manila, but I should say to you that this new Play Okada brings so much joy to my kid and it promises a lot more for your children than just a fun-filled play day. PLAY at Okada Manila goes beyond with a full line of dedicated learning programs aimed at enhancing the holistic development of children.

So what's the meaning of PLAY? 

Play stands for ‘Purposeful Learning and Activities for the  young.’ It is Okada Manila’s family friendly indoor fun facility where child’s play is elevated to an engaging and enriching experience,” says Ivaylo Ivanov, Vice President for Hotel  Operations. PLAY’s management team is led by certified expert coaches and licensed teachers trained to provide guests the highest standard of care and fun learning.

Is there an age bracket ? Can adults can go and play in the play area? 

PLAY Okada, is designed for a child's development through recreation and learning for the kids aged 1-16 year old. But you can accompany your kid inside the area.
PLAY is really designed for your kid's development, here are the 8 stations where they can go and play around while learning!

1. Wizard’s Den, an interactive video game space where kids use gestures to defeat mythical creatures. Here children can boost their strength by defeating all the creatures that blocks there way. It's a mini Harry Potter like game which is interactive to hand gestures. 
2.  Mini Steps & Mini Me, a dedicated play and learning space for children aged 0-3 years old. My #littleSamson loves this play area, on Mini Steps  there was a time that he pops up all of the bubbles. It comes with 10 different floor games but I just remeber some, bubble game, the cheese and rats, and many more! While on the Mini Me, here it is design for our little kids to enjoy a play pen with mini slide, block colors to build with their imaginations. 
3. Little Town, which allows children hands-on play in a banking, postal,school, grocery and home environment to gain valuable learning and practical experience ofevery day grown-up life. Our kids can experience being an adult with this play area, they can be our little shopper on the little supermarket, a little cook on the little house. Learn on the school and bank / postal building. By the way this place is well secured and properly maintained by Play's staffs, sometimes they can be your child's playmates. They are approachable!
4. Little Park, a two-level playground and maze where toddlers can spend their limitless energy and explore their physical strength. I think this plays is best for the older kids around 3-6 years old. A little bigger slide and a pounching bag for your kids to build up strong muscles. Oh yes, I nearly forgot that they do have a build your own house inside the Little Park which my son destroyed (sorry staffs). Here also situated a more athletic play area, where your kids can do a wall climbing and a tire like ride that can sway them back and fort. 
5. Sports Zone, an active zone with artificial grass court for sports games. Mostly basketball perfect for daddy and little son to enjoy.
6. Janguru, a multi-level playground and maze for kids over 110 meters. This play area can be only enjoyed by kids ages 6 and up, but don't wory if your kid is below that age, you can accompany him to go around the area. So are you asking what's inside this playarea? They are many slides specifically 3 slides with different themes. picture below. To make the writing short, just watch my YouTube Video!
7. The Stage, where kids can unleash their inner performer and cultivate their singing, dancing, acting, and public speaking skills. 
8. My Party Place, a gaming and events space that can host birthday parties, corporate events, team-building activities, or any special occasion.
