CHILDCARE AT KARISMA
Sometimes it's good to have your hands free and a quiet moment to take care of things. That's why we offer childcare at Karisma several times a year. The free childcare service is suitable for children aged 3–7 and is supervised by trained instructors.
The daycare can accommodate around 20 children at a time. When registering, children will receive a Papu Park high-visibility vest and a name tag. Each child can stay for one hour so that we can offer the service to as many families as possible. In 2025, Karisma is offering free childcare between 10–16 o'clock on Saturdays: August 30, September 13, October 4, November 1, November 28, and December 20.
Papu Park is normally open during childcare hours, so children can also come and play under parental supervision.

OUT OF ENERGY – NEED TO BORROW A STROLLER?
If you've left your stroller at home and your little one is starting to tire, you can borrow a stroller from the K-Citymarket information desk while you shop at the mall.
You can also use the supermarket's shopping carts and kids' favorite toy cars throughout the shopping center, so you can easily carry all your purchases with you while you shop.
