A Day Out With The Kids at iActive SM City Fairview

We’ve been taking our two children to iActive in SM City Fairview for about a month. The more favorable atmosphere as well as the easing restrictions in Metro Manila have given us the confidence to bring our children to the mall. Suffice it to say that Miguel and Rafa couldn’t contain their happiness whenever we were at iActive. In fact, during the last time that we were there, it took us a great deal to convince Rafa that it was time to go.

Anyway, before the year 2020, our children’s pediatrician advised us to take Miguel to play areas, whether indoor or outdoor, to develop his sensory skills. We were able to take Miguel once to an indoor play area in SM City Fairview but that was just it. Metro Manila, as well as the rest of the Philippines, was suddenly in strict community quarantine.

We saw how Miguel enjoyed his time at iActive so we longed for the time when we could take him and Rafa to play there. The perfect timing came during the middle of 2022.

Why do we love iActive, you ask? We like the variety of things that our children can do at iActive. We also love that it has trampolines, which Miguel really enjoys. There are also slides, which both Miguel and Rafa really like, as well as toys that encourage pretend play. Overall, we just like the happy ambiance inside iActive.

When do we usually visit iActive? We like to go there early, most of the time our target is to be there as soon as the SM City Fairview opens. Of course, with two children, we usually arrive an hour after the mall opening but that is still ideal because there aren’t many people inside iActive yet. The number of people increases after lunchtime so we try to avoid that for health and safety purposes.

We usually stay in iActive for only an hour but with Rafa wanting to stay a little longer, we might just stay for two hours during our next visit.
