Looking for a JB mall where the kids can play while you squeeze in some shopping? Toppen Shopping Centre combines indoor playgrounds, free play areas, IKEA Tebrau and plenty of dining options in one place.
We’ve visited Toppen on different family outings, and on our recent trip, we tried TGV Junior Hall, where the boys could enjoy playroom time before the movie. This updated guide brings together our earlier experiences, our cinema visit and the latest family activities to help you plan your day.

Unlike traditional malls, Toppen Mall is designed with families in mind. Here are some key reasons why parents love bringing their kids here:
- Spacious indoor and outdoor play areas that let kids burn off energy.
- Wide stroller-friendly walkways for easy movement with toddlers.
- Nursing rooms and baby-friendly amenities for added convenience.
- A variety of kid-friendly dining options that cater to picky eaters.
- Direct access to IKEA Tebrau, making it easy for parents to shop while kids play.
- Connection to AEON Tebrau via an overhead bridge, offering even more shopping and dining choices.

Now, let’s dive into the best indoor playgrounds at Toppen Mall where your little ones can have the time of their lives!

Bouncetopia by Kiztopia
Another option to add to your Toppen plans is Bouncetopia by Kiztopia, now open on Level 2.
Its current listing describes an indoor playground with giant inflatables, slides and obstacle challenges, designed for children aged 2–17. There are different play-duration packages, so choose one that fits the rest of your day.
Before booking, check the child ticket, adult admission and sock requirements together. Socks are compulsory and are not included in the listed ticket purchase.
We haven’t included a firsthand review here, but it’s an option worth checking if your kids enjoy active play.
Check the latest ticket packages through Klook and make sure you select Bouncetopia at Toppen Shopping Centre.
The Parenthood Playland
The Parenthood is another paid indoor playground at Toppen, with its current listing highlighting ball pits, obstacles, spiral slides and an interactive wall.
There are separate Toddler Play and Playland ticket options, so check which zone suits your child before purchasing. Also check the adult admission allowance, weekday or holiday ticket category and date validity.
Bring socks, as they are required inside the playland.

This playland is perfect for toddlers and young kids, making it a top choice for families with little ones.

KF Kiddy Circuit – A Fun Ride Experience for Kids
For kids who love driving, the KF Kiddy Circuit is a fantastic option inside Toppen Mall. This mini car racing experience allows children to:
- Drive small electric cars around a two-level track for added excitement.
- Learn basic traffic rules in a fun and engaging way.
- Enjoy a safe and controlled driving experience under staff supervision.
There is another KF Kiddy Circuit outlet at Southkey, but the Toppen Mall version is more exciting with its two-level track. I took the ride with Hengboi2, and as I was on the heavier side, the car had a bit of difficulty climbing up the ramp. I am so motivated to lose weight now! 😆

Other Things You Can Do at Toppen Mall
Free Play Areas at Toppen Mall
You don’t need to buy a playground ticket for every play break! Toppen also has free indoor play areas and rooftop water play.
Free Indoor Toddler and Junior Play Areas
On Level 2, you’ll find the Toddler Play Area near the IKEA Link and the Junior Play Area near KF Kiddy.
Both are air-conditioned and listed as free to use. The Junior Play Area includes a slide and mini hanging bridge, making it an option for a play break between shopping and meals.
The published opening hours are 10am–10pm. Follow the posted rules and supervise your children.
Free Rooftop Wet Play Area
Head to The Topp for the free Wet Play Area, with water sprays and a tipping bucket for splashy fun.
Pack a towel and spare clothes if your kids might join in! Its published hours are 10am–10pm, although access can be affected by weather or maintenance.
The Garden and Event Piazza
The rooftop also has a garden and event piazza where you can take a breather between activities.
Check Toppen’s current events calendar if you’re hoping to catch an organised activity or outdoor screening, as these aren’t guaranteed daily programmes.
TGV Junior Hall at Toppen: Play Before the Movie
A movie outing with playtime thrown in? On our recent visit, we booked TGV Junior Hall at Toppen, where the kids could enter the adjoining playroom 30 minutes before the screening.
The family-focused hall has colourful children’s seats and an adjoining playroom. If you’re planning to use the playroom, arrive early enough to collect your snacks and give the kids time to play before the movie starts.
We paid RM100 for two adults and two children, including snacks and drinks:
The four movie tickets cost us RM60, while our snack combos and processing fee came to RM40. These were the prices we paid during our visit; prices may vary by movie, screening, package and promotion.
Booking tip: Choose a screening specifically labelled Junior. Booking a movie at TGV Toppen doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be in the Junior Hall. Check the seat map, movie classification and current playroom arrangements before booking.
Check TGV Toppen cinema information, then select your screening through TGV’s booking website or app.

Shop at IKEA Tebrau and Decathlon
IKEA Tebrau is connected to Toppen, so it’s easy to include a browse during your outing. On an earlier visit, I stocked up on ziplock bags because they worked out cheaper for me then. Compare the current prices before filling your basket!
Payment update: IKEA Malaysia announced cashless payments from 1 September 2026, so bring a suitable payment card or supported digital payment option.
If you’re planning to use Småland, IKEA Tebrau currently lists these entry conditions:
- Children must be 100–130cm tall.
- Children must be toilet trained.
- Admission is subject to session capacity.
Its listed hours are 3pm–8pm on weekdays and 10am–8.30pm on weekends, separate from the store’s daily 10am–10pm hours.
Check IKEA Tebrau’s latest information before visiting.
Decathlon is also at Toppen for sportswear and outdoor essentials. Check the mall’s current directory for other shops you’d like to visit.

Dine at Kid-Friendly Restaurants
After a fun day, grab a bite at family-friendly dining spots:
- Texas Chicken, Kenny Rogers, Sushi King – Quick and tasty meals.
- Food Empire – A food court with many options for all.
- Hock Kee Kopitiam – Serving local delights like Mee Siam and Nasi Lemak. There are several branches and we tried the branch at City Square. Comparable to Oriental Kopi! Read about our day trip to City Square via Train!
Or you could always walk over to Aeon Tebrau which is just across the street and you will be spoilt with so many more choices! There are Oriental Kopi (similar cuisine as Hock Kee) and Hai Di Lao there where you can enjoy hotpot with kid-friendly soup bases. We had this for dinner and would said that it is definitely much affordable than in Singapore. But it was less kids friendly as compared to Singapore, where kids scissors and kids meal available on request.

A Massage Break at Siam Oasis
Parents can fit in a little downtime too! Siam Oasis at Toppen offers massage and wellness services.
On an earlier visit, we took turns having a one-hour massage while the other parent stayed with the boys. Check the current treatment menu, prices and appointment availability directly with the outlet.

AEON Tebrau – Just a Short Walk Away!
With an overhead bridge connecting Toppen Mall to AEON Tebrau, families can enjoy even more shopping and dining options, including:
- AEON Supermarket for snacks and essentials.
- More kids’ stores with clothes, shoes, and toys.
- A cinema for a relaxing family movie time.

Final Thoughts – Is Toppen Mall Worth Visiting with Kids?
Toppen is worth considering if you want shopping, food and activities for the kids in one outing. You can choose a paid playground or Junior Hall movie, then add free play and an IKEA browse around it.
My tip is to pick one main activity and leave the rest flexible. There’s no need to squeeze everything into one day!
