Looking for a magical reason to head out with the family this July? Something whimsical, light-hearted, and full of delightful surprises for the kids — and the young at heart? Then it might be worth your time to take a little blue detour over to Toppen Shopping Centre in Johor Bahru, where a special themed event has taken over the atrium with a dose of nostalgia and a whole lot of fun.
From 4th to 20th July 2025, the ground floor of Toppen Shopping Centre has been transformed into a delightful blue wonderland with The Smurf-Verse Event, an interactive celebration of the much-loved Smurfs. Whether someone grew up watching these iconic little blue characters or has little ones now discovering them for the first time, this immersive event promises joy, creativity, and community spirit — all under one roof.
Why Visit The Smurf-Verse at Toppen?
1. A Unique Family Day Out
These days, it’s getting harder to find quality outings that can engage both kids and adults alike — and even harder to find ones that are free or friendly on the wallet. That’s exactly why this Smurf-themed event at Toppen stands out. Entry is free, the activities are varied and hands-on, and it offers an excellent break from regular shopping mall visits.
The main atrium at Level 1 has been entirely decked out in whimsical Smurf-themed décor, drawing visitors straight into the “Smurf-Verse.” Whether it’s the carefully created scenery, cheerful staff, or interactive zones, everything has been designed to create lasting memories.
2. Perfect For School Holidays
With the event running during the mid-year school break, it’s a great opportunity for families looking to keep the kids occupied with meaningful and enriching activities. Rather than being glued to their tablets or phones, children get to enjoy real-time engagement, play, and learning — all with a bit of Smurf magic.
3. Engaging Smurf-tastic Activities
So what exactly can one expect? Here’s a peek at the lineup:
-
Sparkle Magic Potion – A hands-on crafting station where children get to create their own sparkly ‘magic potions’ using colourful, safe, and glittering materials. Not only does it encourage creativity, but it also gets them excited about crafting.
-
Smurftastic Party – A high-energy session with music, games, and group fun. Whether it’s dance-offs or games inspired by the Smurfs’ adventures, kids will love the vibe.
-
Know Your Smurf – A fun, educational twist where children can learn about different Smurf characters. Each Smurf has a distinct personality, and learning about them through games or quizzes makes it enjoyable and engaging.
-
Smurf Tea Party + Meet & Greet – This is arguably one of the biggest highlights. A special tea party where children not only enjoy some refreshments but also get to meet the Smurfs in person. Photo opportunities are aplenty, and the memories created are priceless.
-
Movie Screening – A cosy little cinema corner plays family-friendly Smurf episodes or movies. A good way to rest tired feet while keeping the children entertained.
-
Free Colouring Fun – Let the little ones explore their creativity with colouring sheets featuring Smurf characters. It’s simple, calming, and always a favourite among younger kids.
4. Excellent Shopping and Dining Nearby
Toppen Shopping Centre itself is already one of Johor Bahru’s more vibrant malls. With plenty of retailers, eateries, and family-friendly facilities, visitors can easily turn this into a full-day outing. Parents can do a bit of shopping while the children participate in the activities, or everyone can grab lunch together at one of the many restaurants available.
There’s also TGV Cinemas, IKEA Tebrau, and numerous lifestyle outlets right in the same complex — making it an all-in-one destination for errands, fun, and relaxation.
5. Accessible and Convenient
Toppen is located conveniently in Tebrau, Johor Bahru, and is easily accessible by car or ride-hailing services. There’s ample parking, plenty of open space, and all the amenities one would expect from a modern, family-centric shopping mall.
For Malaysian families living in Johor, or even Singaporeans looking for a quick weekend trip across the Causeway, it’s an ideal place to visit. This kind of themed event doesn’t come around very often — especially with this level of detail and variety.
6. A Dose of Nostalgia
Let’s be honest, for adults who grew up watching the Smurfs in the ’80s and ’90s, this event holds a bit of sentimental value too. Seeing their kids connect with something that once brought them joy creates a shared generational experience. It’s not just about entertaining the kids — it’s about reconnecting with a simpler time.
7. No Entry Fee
One of the most compelling reasons to attend? It’s absolutely free. There’s no charge to enter the event area or participate in the core activities. Sure, one might spend a bit on snacks, tea party slots, or souvenirs, but the event itself is open to all. This makes it incredibly accessible for families from all walks of life.
So whether they’re looking to beat the heat, keep the kids entertained over the holidays, or simply enjoy a wholesome outing filled with smiles and colour — the Smurf-Verse event at Toppen Shopping Centre is well worth a visit.
Bring along a camera, plan for a few hours of fun, and let the kids roam free in a space that encourages imagination, friendship, and a little bit of Smurf-style magic.
Don’t miss this limited-time chance to immerse in one of the most creative and joyful mall events happening this July.
