The “Cool Pingu Convenience Store” exhibition draws a steady crowd.
Shanghai has welcomed the country’s first “Cool Pingu Convenience Store” themed exhibition, bringing the beloved Swiss animated character to life for fans of all ages.
Pingu, the iconic claymation penguin, has delighted audiences worldwide with his playful adventures alongside family and friends.
Held at The Place mall, the exhibition features a full-scale replica of Pingu’s whimsical world.
Fans snap photos with Pingu at the exhibition.
At its center stands a giant inflatable Pingu, backed by the “Cool Pingu Screening Station,” where visitors can watch classic clips from the original claymation series.
Three immersive zones add to the experience: At the “Pop Pop Popcorn” area, visitors can dive into a fantasy playground filled with ocean balls and a giant slide. The “Arctic Fishing Adventure” recreates an icy landscape with a treasure-hunt-style fishing game, while the “Arctic Igloo” offers a themed photo booth with personalized Cool Pingu portraits.
Visitors can also shop more than 50 newly launched merchandise items and over 100 limited-edition products.
