The kids deserve to be happy as well.
For the grown-ups, gastronomy, history, art and leisure options tilt the balance to its favor as a destination. But for the kids, what really matters is the play section, what would be more entertaining to do during the trip. For the ones who go to Shopping Recife with the parents, there are some good options to stimulate creativity and play until they get tired.
The first stop of the day can be at Pequenos Moleques, on the upper floor. Wide and full of attractions, the place receive kids from six months old, with the presence of the parents. From four years old on, the kids may be left to the monitors, so the adults can walk around the mall. It’s that right strategy when it is necessary to take a breath from the rush of the trip, or focus on shopping, which is not easily tolerated by the kids. While the parents work out on what they need, the kids can have real fun at the toy library, at the small house, playing basketball, soccer, foosball, playing on the bouncer jumper or on the slides, in the circus, reading or participating in art workshops (phew!). There are so many things that the minimum time of 15 minutes doesn’t have to be considered an option - or else, get ready for the crying...
The infamous twin set “restaurant with playground” is reinvented in Coco Bambu, on the ground floor of the mall. Colorful and full of attractions, Espaço Kids is the right place for boys and girls unleash their energy right next to the adults, while they taste the regional contemporary menu in the house. It offers an obstacle course, a ball pool, a rug with toys and a little table to make art and take home as a souvenir. The good point is that it won’t take up so much space in your suitcase.
