Hyperdome Shopping Centre is installing a 308sqm family entertainment precinct as part of a three week marketing campaign.

‘The Candy Academy’ will run from June 19 to July 10 at the Queensland retail hub and follows on from the success of Easter’s April in Wonderland.

The initiative will feature life-sized candy, oompa loompas, the entire world’s supply of everlasting gobstoppers (a giant interactive ball pit) and photo opportunities featuring iconic scenes from the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

“The April in Wonderland program was an enormous success, averaging more than 2,000 visitors a day,” said Rob Mansfield, manager of Hyperdome Shopping Centre.

“We are expecting The Candy Academy to be even bigger, inviting our visitors to a place filled with wonder, right in the middle of our shopping centre.”
