It will be an educational activity for children as it would be fun-filled. The same exhibit and activities will be transferred to SM Marikina on the next day which will run for one week.

We're inviting everyone to join the activities both at CCP and SM Mall of Asia and SM Marikina. Children are most welcome as they are the future generation who will benefit from the good things we've started for our environment.
