Take a shopping safari

SAFARI-themed fun for kids has kicked off at Stockland Wendouree this week.

With the festivities beginning Tuesday, the centre is housing a zoo safari adventure including animatronic animals and a range of interactive activities.

“We’re excited to offer customers a series of fun and educational safari-themed activities these school holidays, which includes crafts, animatronic animal displays, a scavenger hunt, and more,” said centre manager at Stockland Wendouree Stevie Wright.

“We’re always looking for new opportunities to curate special experiences for our customers, and know that children will really enjoy what we’ve got lined up for them.”

Active until 16 April, kids can tap into their creativity in the Zoo Safari Activity Village by colouring in wooden animal masks to take home and although this session is free, it must be booked in advance.

Open 11am to 2pm daily, the self-guided safari scavenger hunt located near Sportsgirl will provide children with the chance to seek out animatronic figures and enter into a draw to win a $250 safari prize.

A third activity, active until 10 April, aims to give kids the opportunity to hop on an educational guided tour of the life-sized animatronic safari animals.

With reservations essential to the free session, each ticketed child will receive a gift as well as a chance to win the aforementioned safari themed prize pack.
