Indoor beach launched at Glasgow Silverburn to keep the kids entertained this summer

Kids are set to have some summer-themed fun in Silverburn following the launch of the new Flamingo Beach.

Running from now until August 20, guests can take a selfie with three giant flamingos and kids can flock to the golden sands of the indoor beach.

Located in the main atrium, Flamingo Beach is open daily from 11 am until 5 pm and costs £2.50 per child with all proceeds going to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity (GCHC). The charity will also have a pop-up shop selling kids' summer clothing and themed merchandise to raise funds for young patients and their families.

Throughout summer, guests can shop a wide range of flamingo-themed products available in many Silverburn stores, and there is even a chance to win a £1,500 travel voucher, courtesy of Barrhead Travel Silverburn.

As part of the family fun, there is a flamingo bingo trail and kids can claim a sweet treat from Guest Services on completion, while the littlest family members can enjoy new Ocean Adventures.

Situated at the Marks & Spencer end of the centre, Ocean Adventures is Silverburn’s brand new, underwater-themed soft play complete with a crawl-through submarine, whale hump slide and activity panels, providing limitless entertainment for little ones mid- shopping spree.

General manager of Silverburn, David Pierotti, said: “We know how challenging it can be to keep children entertained for the full duration of the summer holidays, which is why we’ve created a full calendar of activities over the coming weeks.

“The latest upgrades to Silverburn including new soft furnishings, greenery and the Ocean Adventures play area, alongside our flamingo-themed events are all part of our commitment to deliver the best possible guest experience.

“We can’t wait to see our guests enjoying what’s on offer during a bustling summer at Silverburn.”

CEO of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, Kirsten Watson, said: “We’re tickled pink to be involved with Flamingo Beach. The team at Silverburn are steadfast supporters of the charity, and we are incredibly grateful to benefit from their latest fun, creative and engaging fundraising activity.

“Donations will help children from across Scotland who are treated in hospital here in Glasgow, and I’d like to thank all of the visitors and volunteers who visit Flamingo Beach this summer.”
