I Tried SuperPark's Adults Only AfterHours: My Honest Verdict

Earlier this year on June 26, SuperPark launched AfterHours, an adults only version of its indoor playground complete with music, neon lights and the promise of a more social way to spend your Thursday and Friday nights.

Designed for adults looking to do something a little different with friends, dates or even colleagues after work, AfterHours has been popping up all over my social media feeds ever since.

Naturally, I wanted to see whether it really lived up to the hype, or if it was just another thing the internet made look cooler than it actually was.

So I rounded up four friends and headed to Suntec City on a Friday evening to find out for ourselves.

The first challenge: finding SuperPark

We booked the 7pm slot and made our way to SuperPark at Suntec City Tower 3. As with most trips to Suntec, actually finding the place was an adventure in itself.

Tickets cost less than $30 for two hours, which felt pretty reasonable. One thing to note though: while the website states grip socks are compulsory, don’t assume your Pilates grip socks will do the trick because I certainly did.

Turns out only SuperPark’s own grip socks are accepted. I did receive a small discount since I brought my own pair, but I also left wondering how many pairs of grip socks one person realistically needs.

The good news? It wasn’t very crowded despite it being a Friday night. The park was only about half full, which meant we could move from activity to activity without spending much time queueing.

Some activities are best left to the kids

We started off with some of the smaller attractions around the park.

The ball pit was probably the biggest letdown. It barely reached my ankles, so anyone planning to dramatically dive into it is in for a rude awakening.

The pedal cars were another miss. They only open at 8pm, so we waited around expecting something a little more exciting. Instead, they moved at a leisurely pace that was more Sunday park stroll than Fast & Furious. After watching a few rounds, we decided to give them a miss altogether.

Ironically, waiting for the pedal cars meant I completely missed SuperClimb, which was the attraction I had been most excited about as someone who enjoys climbing.

Apparently, SuperClimb closes at 8pm to make way for the pedal cars. Unless you happen to ask one of the staff, there’s no obvious indication of this, so learn from my mistake and head there first.

Don’t underestimate the Flying Fox and donut slide

The Flying Fox was the first attraction that reminded us why we’d come in the first place.

While it’s much shorter than the outdoor versions most of us are used to, the bounce back at the end adds an unexpected twist. Being adults also meant we fully embraced the opportunity to sprint towards the platform before launching ourselves. If you’re going to do it, you might as well commit.

Next up was the Airbag Donut Slide.

From the top, it looked pretty harmless, so none of us expected much. Instead, we actually caught a little air before landing, making it surprisingly fun.

The only downside was dragging the inflatable donut all the way back up afterwards. Suddenly, those compulsory grip socks started making a little more sense.

The slides and trampolines stole the show

Once we reached the bigger attractions, the evening really picked up.

The Adventure City slides and Twin Tower slides were easily some of the highlights. They were much faster than they looked and genuinely had all of us screaming on the way down.

A word of warning though: don’t try filming yourself while going down the Twin Tower slides. I attempted it once and spent more time bouncing off the sides than actually looking at the camera. I have the bruises to prove it.

The trampoline zones were where we probably spent the most time.

Between attempting flips into the airbag and repeatedly convincing ourselves we’d definitely land the next one, it quickly became the area we kept coming back to.

The Basketball Jump was another unexpected favourite. Finally, us shorter folks got to experience what it feels like to dunk a basketball.

The Reaction Jump also became surprisingly competitive as everyone scrambled to hit the lights while trying not to land flat on their backsides.

The only downside was that only one person is allowed on each trampoline at a time for safety reasons, so larger groups will have to take turns.

Beyond the physical activities, there were also games like air hockey, Super Pixel, SuperSoccer and several other interactive challenges. There was certainly be plenty to keep us occupied for two hours.

So... where was the party?

While the activities themselves delivered, I couldn’t help feeling that the “adults only” concept could have been pushed a little further.

The music was decent, but I would’ve loved a more energetic playlist. I also expected the venue to lean harder into the neon theme by dimming the lights a little more so the glowing installations really stood out. At times, it simply felt like SuperPark without kids rather than a completely different AfterHours experience.

That said, I do wonder if the atmosphere would have felt livelier with a bigger crowd. Despite it being a Friday evening, the park was only around half full.

Would I go back?

Maybe.

I had a genuinely fun evening laughing with friends, racing down giant slides and embracing my inner kid again. But I’m not sure I’d rush back a second time, especially with so many other activities around Singapore to try.

That said, if someone suggested going again with a bigger group, I probably wouldn’t say no.

I might just insist we grab a drink or two beforehand. If I’m going to throw myself down a giant slide with absolutely zero dignity, I may as well fully commit.
