Cool-de-sac or indoor playground in the Pearl




That was a new place for me . It is in the Pearl not far from Novo cinema . This is an entertainment center with restaurant  for kids .
It offers soft play areas ,slides ,lego building station , face painting ,computer games ,play stations ,painting .  The age group  they expect  is from tots to 12 year old . However my 10 year old was a bit bored .Most of the kids looked preschoolers . The thing that I liked at this place was the number of hosts and hostesses calling the kids by their names and ready to play with them . We might have been in the middle of a party because every half an hour a dance or game was initiated by the hosts . After all my 10 year old had a good time but not sure  he wants to spend his hard earned pocket money here next time .
The entrance fee is 55 rials for unlimited time .That sounds reasonable . But it is trap .The cheapest drink at the restaurant is 10 rials .And the nugget-fries meal for kids is 35 rials and despite the title "gourmet restaurant " it was nothing special -just the usual nugget meal . . You are not allowed to bring your drinks or snacks . If you leave the place you are not allowed to go back .So do not arrive hungry or thirsty here otherwise you will pay a lot for traditional junk food .
I  met  there someone I had known before and it was so difficult to chat because it was too noisy . The face painters  did a great job  - real artists work there . The staff is mixed - Europeans and Filipinos .Both were nice and welcoming ,patient with the kids .
