We strive to do this through constant innovation and offering nothing but the best activities and experiences for shoppers in SM malls nationwide,” said SM Supermalls COO Steven Tan.
Long considered as a subject of fascination, Dinos in the Mall became a unique way to engage young minds and introduce scientific ideas. Trivia boards about the dinosaurs were also present in the area. The caravan toured all SM malls in South Luzon from 2017 to 2018, capturing 13,000 students through fun learning activities.
Heightening the experience were “live” raptors! On weekends, these raptors visited the malls as additional entertainment and photo opportunity.
Riding on the success of the dinos, Jungle Safari in the Mall invites shoppers to take a walk on the wild side by bringing the heart of the African savannah close to the people. Launched last August 5, 2018, Jungle Safari in the Mall takes the shoppers to the heart of Africa with its nine (9) life-sized animals: Lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra, cheetah, rhinoceros, baboon, ostrich, and meerkat. School tours, bird and reptile show, bazaar, and mascot meet and greet add more fun in this adventure!
Pet Party became an interactive way for South Luzon pet-owners to enjoy a full day with their pets. Grooming services, free veterinary consultation, and vaccinations can be availed. Games, prizes, and play area made the day extra fun and memorable for the pet owners and their fur babies.
The annual Grand Magical Christmas Parade brings an extraordinarily magical experience to the shoppers of SM South Luzon. A one-hour live performance that delights the senses through danceable songs, huggable and playful Christmas mascots, sparkling colorful costumes, and majestic princes and princesses!
