I’ve wanted to take my little girl to Timmy’s World ever since I saw a picture of their gigantic entrance on Dianping. I knew I had a good feeling about this place… But, since it’s not in the city's center, it took a bit of self-convincing before making the long drive towards Tongzhou.
But man, it was worth it!
Being a little out of the way from the center of the city and not part of a chain means that Timmy’s World charges less than half of what meLand charges for a day of all-inclusive fun.
The three-story indoor playground has everything a young child could want. Right as you enter, there’s the wooden pellet sandpit with dinosaurs and a little volcano in the middle. Then, in the room right across is a forest-themed two-story playground with tube slides, foam pits, swings, and obstacle courses.
Then, as you walk in a bit more, you’re met with a sushi restaurant with a rotating belt, a grocery store, an auto repair shop, ramps for the cars, a stage to sing and dance on, a ball pit with more slides and those ball suction tubes, a dress up room, an interactive video screen, another tube slide, a carousel, and a tiny kitchen.
Pro Tip: The staff does story time multiple times throughout the day.
And that’s just the first floor…
Venturing up to the second floor you’ll find a toy room that’s designed for very young kids. It’s filled with wooden toys and there’s even a small wall of light switches that they can entertain themselves with.
Then there’s the pièce de résistance of the place – their choo choo train. Unlimited rides are included in the ticket price but the train doesn’t run all day long. On the day that we went, kids rushed to queue up when the trains started running, but 30 minutes into it, there was no longer a line.
Up on the third floor is a trampoline and arcade room that has plenty of giant foam blocks for the kids to create and build with, as well as a small garden and barn with stuffed vegetable toys and chickens.
One of my favorite parts about Timmy’s World was their dining area. They sectioned out an entire large room just for dining. There are kid sinks conveniently located at the entrance and even plates and cups for guests to use. They allow any sort of waimai food to be delivered, so if you’re not picky about having an exclusive party, you can set up your own lunch spread for the kid at a fraction of the price.
We arrived at Timmy’s World almost right when they opened at around 10 am. By the time we left around 3 pm, my daughter was still not done exploring the entire place. It’s like Disneyland for toddlers.
Pricing:
RMB 143 for 1 adult + 1 child full day ticket
RMB 168 for 2 adults + 1 child full day ticket
RMB 95 for 1 adult + 1 child 4 hours at night on weekends

Pro Tip: Bring a pair of non-slip socks for the kids. Adults aren’t required to wear them, but kids are. If you don’t bring your own, you’ll need to purchase a pair at the entrance.
