Here's a look at SuperPark McKinley at the Venice Grand Canal Mall:
ICYDK, SuperPark is an indoor park that promotes active living, creativity, and movement. Dubbed the "friendliest all-in-one indoor activity park," this Finnish concept can be found worldwide in 21 locations like Malaysia, Singapore, Kuwait, and China.Ā It's a great place to release pent-up energy and stress by sweating it out on the different games, trampolines, and obstacles.Ā
SuperPark McKinley is larger than its predecessor, the only other SuperPark in the Philippines which can be found in Eastwood City. The park isn't just for kids. Even kids-at-heart are free to slide, tumble, jump, and play aroundĀ SuperPark McKinley, and enjoy its overĀ 25 activities and amenities. These include the Adventure City playground, trampoline platforms, and augmented reality games.
These movement facilities are spread out across three major areas in the park: the Adventure Area, the Game Arena, and Freestyle Hall.Ā
Activities to do in SuperPark McKinley's Adventure Area:
If you like obstacle courses, climbing, and slides, then you're going to want to spend a lot of time in the Adventure Area. Much like its Eastwood counterpart, this space is home to a multi-story playground where kids and their companions can slide and run around. NGL, when we saw this part of SuperPark, we immediately flashed back to all the times we spent in play areas in our favorite fast food chains in the 90s and early 2000s.
The latest addition to this area is the brand-new Jump and Fun playground, a bigger and more challenging set of obstacles that'll really get you pumped up for more physical activity.
Activities to do in SuperPark McKinley's Game Arena:
Kids are often told by their parents to go out and play and not spend all their time in front of a screen, but at SuperPark's Game Arena, movement and video games go hand in hand.Ā
The Game ArenaĀ brings a futuristic twist to sports with activities enhanced by AR technology and digital innovations. Play a bunch of sports-themed activities with your pals, including pinball-like basketball, table football, cycling, running, timed dodgeball, and many more.
Activities to do in SuperPark McKinley'sĀ Freestyle Hall:
The last major zone in SuperPark McKinley is the Freestyle Hall which is usually the most packed and busy side of the entire space. This areaĀ is perfect for lettingĀ loose with trampolines, mixed-reality games, an airbag, and digital climbing walls. Get ready to get sweaty. This is the most active space and is a great place for *coughs* older *coughs* kids to play and re-experience the joy of movement.Ā
The newest addition to the SuperPark menu is the Air Track, a gymnastic zone equipped with an airtrack and soft blocks, perfect for practicing flips and other acrobatic moves.
Aside from all the gaming facilities, SuperPark McKinley alsoĀ features three much bigger party rooms, perfect forĀ hosting birthdays, teambuilding activities, and other celebrations with SuperPark in the background.
How much are tickets to SuperPark McKinley:
Whether you visit SuperPark McKinley or SuperPark Eastwood, the admission rates are the same. You can book tickets online or buy them onsite. There are also a bunch of third-party sites like Klook where you can get tickets before heading to SuperPark.
Here are the ticket rates for SuperPark Philippines:
Regular Adult Tickets
- Weekday Rate (Mondays to Thursdays): P650
- Superday Rate (Friday to Sunday): P750Ā Ā
Junior Tickets: P200
Just like in Eastwood, you also have to purchase grip socks to be worn inside SuperPark McKinley.Ā These socks can be purchased at the ticket counterĀ at P75 per pair. Alternatively, if you've been to the park before, you can reuse the SuperPark branded socks you've worn prior.Ā
What's Next for SuperPark Philippines
In an interview with SPOT.ph, Graham Coates, Head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, confirmed that more SuperParks are coming our way. "We are committed to bringing SuperPark to more of our townships all over the Philippines, not just in Luzon but also in Visayas and Mindanao," says Coates.Ā
SuperPark CEO Juha Tanskanen adds, "I always see happy faces when I visit here, and the good results of the first SuperPark in Eastwood are encouraging us to open more in the Philippines.Ā I think there is a perfect match between SuperPark and the Philippinesāwhat with how tight-knit and close the families are and there's not a lot of platforms here where families can go together and do something positive."
"We're always looking for new concepts, new ideas,"Ā Coates adds. "The mix of our malls is changing. We want to bring in more entertainment, and the amusement category is underserved. So we want to bring in something fresh and new that's not available in other places."
Looks like we'll have to keep our eyes peeled for more SuperParks opening in the Philippines.
SuperPark McKinley is at 2/F Venice Grand Canal Mall, McKinley Hill, Taguig City. It opens on June 9 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit SuperPark Philippines' Facebook page.
