ROAR-SOME DINOSAUR TRAIL AT BLUEWATER 3rd April – 24th June
New this year, Bluewater is inviting guests to embark on an adventure alongside explorers Rhys and Rosie, with the arrival of the Dinosaur Trail. Kids will come face to face with roar-some dinosaurs in and around the mall, whilst discovering interesting facts along the way. Guests can pick up a trail map from the concierge desk outside M&S on the lower mall and once all the dinosaurs have been found, they’ll receive a prehistoric prize.

The Lindt Gold Bunny Warren is making a return to Bluewater this Easter offering free chocolate fun for all. Located in the Lower Guildhall, children are invited to hop through the warren and count the Lindt Gold Bunny in order to receive a delicious chocolate reward! Plus there’s a brand new Lindt store on the Lower Thames Walk where you can buy some impressive Lindt Easter gifts, or simply treat yourself!
