Port of Lost Wonder at Sentosa: a Dummy Guide

Port of Lost Wonder is a really cool place for parents who does not know what to do with their energetic kids. 

POLW is Pirate themed but not in a scary way.

Here is a simple guide for first time visitors: 

1) "Curio coins" 
Given out together with a "port pass" book when you purchase your tickets. They are paper coins on a piece of hard paper. Keep them.

2) POLW activities
- Check out the different activities for the time you are there
- Choose the ones your kid will like
- Budget the "Curio coins" accordingly
(You will need them to join the activities or to redeem a candy floss)
- Make sure your kid is at the right place for the selected activity

If your kid is old enough, they can do the planning and budgeting themselves. What fun.

 

3) Port Pass
This is a loyalty reward sticker book. With each activity, your kid gets a stamp. You get prizes with stamps collected. I would focus on step 2 unless you really want a prize. Click below for more details.

POLW is a very easy place. You would want to grab a table/seats as soon as you enter. The only air conditioned area is in the port belly restaurant. 

Arrrr matey.....
The bucket tilts when it gets filled up.

Bubble play is one of the activities in POLW. It's a big tub filled with bath foam!

The place is relatively safe with staff watching over the people at play. They have a staff permanently watching over the slides to make sure no one gets hurt. Always good to know that safety is a priority here.

There are open showers available in the female loos. Bring along your toiletries and towels.  

It is a bit more of a hassle for people using public transportation. I would suggest bringing along a stroller or a trolley luggage. It's worth the trip.
