Families with kids, don’t worry! They’re not leaving you behind Like the Movie Planet, Cartoon Planet also uses the same AR and VR concepts where it brings your little ones to an edutainment playland, so they can expect to see their favourite cartoon characters come to life like Tom & Jerry

If you’re not up for some thrill rides or animation, you can witness world-class performances at Music Planet. Said to be the brainchild of The Great British Circus, this section will bring you circus, theatrical and music performances live on stage.

The mall’s retail section will be divided into different floors – each with its own thematic zone! Now you can experience a taste of Europe, or even America without having to travel too far

If you’ve been to Terminal 21 in Bangkok, this is similar but hopefully better!
Excited to visit the mall? Well, hold your horses as it’s only expected to be ready by August this year. But we definitely think this one’s worth the wait
