Children's Activities

Shopping Centres

An entertained child decides how long the whole family's visit lasts

Rotating workshops, giant games and characters that keep the youngest busy while the rest of the family keeps shopping, on a calendar that can repeat weekly or change by campaign.

At a shopping centre, a family's visit lasts as long as the child holds out. A well-placed children's entertainment corner, near the main entrance or the food court, easily adds half an hour to an hour to each visit, and that hour means more shops walked through.

We work on a closed seasonal calendar: a different workshop every Saturday, or the same fixed activity throughout the campaign if the centre prefers predictability for its communications. Either way, equipment and host arrive set up and ready before opening.

A different workshop every Saturday

Origami, bracelets, mandalas or face painting rotating week to week, so regular families always find something new.

Giant games as a visual draw

A giant Connect 4 or Jenga in the central plaza is visible from several shops and works as a living billboard for the activity.

Characters that get their own photo

A roaming character moves through corridors and plazas, and families stop for the photo without anyone having to ask.

How we set it up

  1. Tell us about the campaign

    Length, available plaza or corridor, and whether you want a fixed activity or a weekly rotation.

  2. We propose the calendar

    Which workshop or game runs each week, with material and images for your own communications.

  3. We set up before opening

    The crew arrives with margin and the host is ready before the doors open.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be booked for weekends only?

Yes, that's the most common format: Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday, leaving weekdays free of activity.

Does the workshop change weekly or can it stay the same all campaign?

Both work; we decide based on whether you prefer variety for repeat visits or predictability for early communication.

How much space does a giant game need in the central plaza?

It depends on the game, but most fit in 3x3 metres; we confirm from photos of the space before proposing.

How far ahead should a full campaign be booked?

For multi-month calendars it's worth booking four to six weeks ahead, to secure the same host for the whole campaign.
