KidsStop is one of the 4 main attractions within the area. The other big three in the Jurong area are namely  the Singapore Science Center, Snow City and
Omni-Theater. (All of which located side by side)

The place is a learn through play indoor experience with several thematic zones. The zones aren't very big but being placed right by each other, the place kind of melds as one messy space.
*The mini cockpit could have had more buttons, switches and dials for the kids to play with*
*Really cool play area especially with the working mechanical claw. Unfortunately due to the limited head count, play time is limited and sort of rushed through. Do and shortly after have to move on.* 
*Learning about Kenetic to Electric Energy*
*Nice super fine sand which doesn't stick to you and very comfortable to the touch.*
*You need socks for this play area so remember to pack them!*
*The digital fish which you name and paint. It is later projected onto the big screen. Fun  but the design and execution is a little dated.*
*. Don't miss the interactive rooms  past the Omni-Theatre, one of which house some living creatures and creepy crawlers.*

Phoenix Indian Restaurant offered good, authentic Indian cuisine and was the perfect break before continuing with the exhibits. Don't worry, there's a children's menu at$5 each. The only other dining option on premise according to staff there was at Coffee Bean. 

The three hour block session from 10am-1pm was just right.

KidsStop in its entirety is a little dated and its age shows especially in its interactive rooms and animal/insect display. The pax and time restriction does take away from a leisurely exploration and it does feel a little crowded at times. Some of the exhibits maybe also be too info heavy especially for the younger ones.

Overall, something for most ages, but probably not grand or enough 'attraction' for a repeat visit that soon. In my opinion, the Science Center was a far more enjoyable, exploratory experience with a lot more to offer.
The Art Ground (Free to enter) would be a great alternative, (visited multiple times but yet to be reviewed). Its an excellent thematic art space for young children to play and explore in a safe indoor air-conditioned space. 
ABBATip:
- Bring your own socks. Kids socks go for 4SGD/pair.
- Don't miss out the additional exploration rooms past the entrance to the Omani-Theater
