Nick Jr. fans should head straight to intu Braehead for the chance to follow in the footsteps of their favourite characters.

YOUNGSTER Daniel Strain dons a Ninja Turtle outfit, as he gets ready for a visit to intu Braehead by a host of characters from the Nick Jr. TV channel – including of course, the popular Ninja Turtles Half Shell Heroes.

The popular shopping destination will be hosting Nick Jr. All Stars experiences throughout the Easter holidays to keep families entertained for free.

They could learn the Half Shell Heroes’ ninja moves, or create their own machine to join Blaze and the Monster Machines at the free events taking place at intu’s top shopping centres across the UK.

There will also be the chance to meet PAW Patrol’s Chase and Marshall who will visit intu Braehead on April 11, as part of the partnership between intu and Nick Jr.

Families could hunt for even more Nick Jr. characters and experiences by using their smart devices to scan images they find within the centre, thanks to a free augmented reality game available through the intu app.

And on selected days guests will be able to take home pictures of themselves with a number of Nick Jr. characters thanks to the magic of green screen technology.

Marketing manager at intu, Christine Macdonald said: “Parents shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to put a smile on the faces of every Nick Jr. fan in their family by giving them the chance to take part in free activities and games starring their favourite characters.

“We’ve teamed up with Nick Jr. to run activities in every intu centre across the UK throughout the school holidays and can’t wait for families to see what’s in store as part of their visit to intu Braehead.”

Activities will take place from Monday 3rd to Friday 21st April. Visit www.intu.co.uk <http://www.intu.co.uk/>/easter to find details of what’s on and opening hours.
