Oddbods Family Centers Open in China

The first Oddbods-themed family entertainment center has opened in Xi’an, China.

One Animation and CMC have a deal to open an additional 14 family entertainment centers based on the hit preschool brand over the next eight years. The first is located in the new Creative Circle mall and runs over 1,270 square meters. The second will open in Chengdu next year.

The attraction includes a train ride, sand and ball pits, trampolines, climbing and rope courses, a party room and toddler playground. There is also a branded food station, shop and storytelling zone.

Pauline Hiu, One Animation’s VP of consumer products for Asia, noted, “We pride ourselves on creating fun and memorable experiences for kids and families through strong storytelling and heart. CMC is the perfect partner to help us bring this to life in China and we very much look forward to opening the doors to this hugely fun, energetic and immersive Oddbods world.”
