If you’ve grown weary of Netflix’s constant judgement asking if you’re still watching, gather the tribe and saunter in to the Paradise Centre for some free family fun. Summer in Paradise takes over the beachside precinct from December 18 through to January 17 with an exciting array of things to see, do and devour. Sun’s out? Roll out a towel at the vintage beach before making your way to the tropical pop-up in the centre court to sip coconuts, don a lei and munch on pineapple lolly jars, fairy floss and popcorn (from 3:00 pm every Saturday, one per person while stocks last). Feeling lucky? There’s a bunch of free giveaways including a stack of gift cards to spend in-centre. Once you’ve sipped and snacked, skip upstairs to level one and snap a selfie at neon paradise – no filter needed! Keep your peepers peeled for the roving entertainment which will make its way through the centre from 3:00–6:00 pm every Saturday and Sunday. See if you can spot the flock of flamingoes, the rollerskating ukulele players (talk about multi-tasking!) and the lifeguards on stilts.

As a little extra sweetener, Paradise Centre has rolled out a Spend & Win promo from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm daily throughout the holiday period. Simply spend $30 or more in one transaction at participating Paradise Centre retailers and you will receive a token to the vending machine perched outside of Novo Shoes. Up for grabs are some seriously epic prizes including Apple AirPods (come to mama!), Yeti coolers, Sunnylife pool floats, Outdoors Hello picnic tables, beach balls, stubby coolers, air fresheners and more! The best part? Everyone’s a winner!

Summer in Paradise is free for all to attend so gather the tribe and hula down to the Paradise Centre for a swell dose of vitamin-sea this summer.
