VIKids Carnival Returns with Retro Futuristic Fun & Creative Workshops 

I recently was at Alamanda Shopping Centre, the Centre Court was transformed into a lively retro-futuristic carnival, drawing inspiration from the vibrant aesthetics of the 1980s neon era. 

Visitors will step onto a classic black-and-white checkered floor, surrounded by glowing neon-lighted props of nostalgic icons like cassette tapes, boomboxes, and palm trees. The carnival features 4 booths hosting traditional funfair games, exciting arcade zones, and engaging arts & crafts workshops open to the public.

What’s On: Games, Workshops, and Live Shows

The carnival is designed to be a safe, wholesome space to bring parents and children together for active interaction. The layout features a great mix of activities:

• 4 Funfair Booths: Hosting traditional, nostalgic funfair games.

• Exciting Arcade Zones: Perfect for a bit of classic gaming fun.

• Engaging Arts & Crafts Workshops: Open to the public to spark young imaginations.

Weekend Entertainment Lineup

If your readers or family members are planning a visit, tell them to aim for the weekend. Every Saturday and Sunday features three daily spectacles to entertain the crowds, including:

• High-energy Neon Dance numbers

• Mesmerising Magic Shows

• Delightful Balloonist Clown acts

The Shoppers Rewards Programme

While the atmosphere is open for everyone to soak in, access to the specific games and activities requires Carnival Passes. Alamanda has tied these to a shopping reward system, making it easy to redeem while doing usual holiday shopping or dining:
