DreamWorks‘ DreamPlay, the all new indoor interactive play center at the City of Dreams, Manila, has officially opened on June 12.

Melco Crown Entertainment CEO and co-chairman Lawrence Ho and co-chairman and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg attended the event, formally opening the family entertainment destination.

DreamPlay features 12 original attractions including learning Kung Fu with Po, the Kung Fu Panda; exploring Shrek’s swamp with the big green ogre himself; testing dragons for flight alongside Hiccup and Toothless; embarking on seafaring adventures with the Penguins of Madagascar. Each franchise area represents a different type of interactive learning, with Kung Fu Panda teaching physical activity and agility; Madagascar involving physics, buoyancy and trajectories; Shrek teaching food preparation and cooking skills at ‘Cooking with Gingy’; and ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ exploring the principles of flight and aerodynamics.

The cutting edge 5,000 sq. meter creative play-center has enjoyed more visits than originally anticipated when the facility first launched with a soft opening in March.
