With so many engaging activities, plus a wide selection of eateries and retail treats, City Square Mall is a top spot this school holiday.

Families can also look forward to outdoor play at the Level 2 playground or indoor excitement at The Polliwogs, featuring ball pools, slides, and mazes. Kids aged 3 to 12 can join the free VivoCity Kids Club via the VivoRewards app for special offers, invites, and birthday surprises.
