The name of the store says it all, IKEA Play Caf\u00e9 is a place to play, shop and eat. Lauren MacDonald, Head of Marketing of IKEA Canada, said in the press release that \u201cFor the past two years, the theme at IKEA has been focused on life in and around the kitchen and all the moments that happen in-between. (…) We know Canadian families feel pressure when it comes to their food choices. At the IKEA Play Caf\u00e9, we want to encourage guests to strip away conventional beliefs surrounding food and inspire them to relax, have fun and start playing again.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

To achieve these objectives, the immersive pop-up experience is made up of three core areas: eating, playing and shopping. The pop-up shop and caf\u00e9 figures activities that encourage people to play together and challenge their taste buds! \u00a0Among the activities available, there is an IKEA Kitchen dance that invites people to compete against each other in a kitchen dance party and a giant pinball machine with baking items.<\/span><\/p>\n
