The highly anticipated exhibition featuring Russia’s beloved national icon and the ever-adorable, always-falling Cheburashka will kick off from July 20 (Fri) to September 2 (Sun) at the Blue Whale Pavilion on the 5th floor of Dream Mall in Kaohsiung.
The 2018 “Cheburashka Summer Playtime Adventure” is about to open.
Originally adapted from a famous Russian picture book series in 1996, Cheburashka has been made into short animations. Over the past 50 years, it has been transformed into various forms of media and even served as the official mascot for the Russian Olympic team four times. In 2009, Japan remade the animation. This summer, Cheburashka and his friends are coming to Kaohsiung to play with everyone.
The event features three free-entry themed zones: “Hello, I’m Cheburashka,” “Cheburashka Town,” and “Circus Park.” In “Hello, I’m Cheburashka,” learn about Cheburashka’s origins and see limited-edition merchandise imported from Russia. In “Cheburashka Town,” take photos and create memories with Cheburashka. Finally, head to “Circus Park” where you can try your luck at ring toss for just NT$50 and win an exclusive [Cheburashka Badge] — available only as a gift, not for sale. These interactive exhibits let both kids and adults have fun with Cheburashka.

After exploring the three main zones, don’t miss the cute and practical souvenir items. Not only are there brand-new Dream Mall Kaohsiung exclusives for sale, but you can also get a super-valuable limited-edition lucky bag set originally priced at NT$2,729 for just NT$880 (limited quantity). There are also plenty of items at 50% and 88% off on-site. Spend any amount and receive a free Cheburashka orange coloring sheet. Get to know Cheburashka and maybe even bring him home with you.
