PLEASE NOTE | EARLY START DISCOVERY SPACE WILL BE CLOSED FROM APRIL 7 TO APRIL 10 |  OPENING HOURS 

THE POD EXPERIENCE WILL BE CLOSED FROM APRIL 3 TILL APRIL 6 FOR UPGRADES

Grab your shopping list, mini trolley and make your way around the aisles. Once you have everything on your list, it’s time to head to the counter and pay.

Do you have enough money for all those apples?
Will you be the shopper or the scanner?

Once the shopping is done, why not take a seat at the Critter Café and order some lunch. Or head into the kitchen yourself and cook up a feast of pizza, sandwiches and juice for your hungry customers.

Learn through play

Children love role playing and replicating adult activities like shopping. It also helps children learn about making healthy food choices and numeracy when paying at the cash registers
