Free Fun Alert! Nickelodeon Takes Over Hawaiian Shopping Centres in a WA-First

With household budgets under pressure, Nickelodeon is bringing big-name school holiday fun closer to home, delivering a Western Australian first by taking over Hawaiian’s neighbourhood shopping centres across Perth and giving local kids the chance to meet some of Nickelodeon’s most loved characters.

Across the school holidays, ten Hawaiian neighbourhood shopping centres will transform into must-visit holiday hubs, making it easier for families to stay local, travel less and spend less, without missing out on big holiday experiences.

The headline attraction is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem Ninja Course, a giant inflatable obstacle course making its first-ever appearance in Western Australia. Bursting with high-energy fun, the larger-than-life course challenges kids to climb, crawl, slide and race their way to the finish line in true ninja style.

From Hillarys to Melville, Forrestfield to Bassendean, families can meet iconic Nickelodeon characters including Chase from PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as the action rolls through centres across the metro area.

Younger fans can get creative at the PAW Patrol Craft Village, painting their own wooden characters to take home, topped off with a very special in-person visit from Chase himself.

Beyond the entertainment, Hawaiian centres are also becoming go-to school holiday food destinations, with viral dining favourites drawing families in for easy, affordable meals between activities. Highlights include Christo’s at Hawaiian’s Newpark, Louder Louder at Hawaiian’s Park Centre, Rocky Ridge Brewing Co. at Duncraig by Hawaiian, and Pauly’s Chicken at Hawaiian’s Noranda.

Adults are also getting a treat, with cult café favourite ‘Daisies Cottesloe’ popping up at Hawaiian’s Mezz with its newly launched ‘Side Cart’. Running Wednesday to Friday across both weeks of the school holidays, the pop-up will serve 100 free coffees each day. Located right by the playground, Hawaiian’s Mezz becomes an easy stop and the perfect place to settle in for a relaxed, family-friendly day out.

With free entertainment, iconic characters, viral food and coffee on offer, Hawaiian’s Nickelodeon school holiday takeover promises big fun, without the big spend.
