Three Days, Four Eras and One Big Celebration: AVA Shopping Park Takes You Through Time

 

 
AVA Shopping Park Celebrates Its 4th Birthday with a Free Dinosaur Exhibition, Creative Workshops and Special Discounts

AVA Shopping Park marks its fourth anniversary with a three-day event titled “Experience the World Through Time,” taking place from May 22 to May 24, while the dinosaur exhibition will remain open until June 7.


This year, AVA is not celebrating just another year of existence, but a time filled with encounters, small weekend rituals, and moments that have happened naturally along the way. Over the past four years, this space has grown together with its community, becoming a place people gladly return to, whether for shopping, socializing, or simply taking a break.

The concept of the event unfolds through two parallel narratives. One is “The World Through Time,” which explores different eras of human history, and the other is “AVA Through Time,” which symbolically reflects the development of the center itself and how it has evolved alongside its visitors.

During the three days, AVA Shopping Park transforms into a place where different eras come together. The youngest visitors will be able to step into prehistory through a dinosaur exhibition located by the children’s playground, as well as through interactive encounters and VR experiences that bring this long-lost world to life.

In the ancient world zone, visitors will discover myths and legends of early civilizations, meeting pharaohs, mummies, and ancient heroes, while also taking part in creative workshops inspired by art and traditional crafts. The program also includes mini Olympic games as a tribute to the spirit of that era.

The Middle Ages bring knight games and activities that encourage imagination and teamwork, while the modern era introduces contemporary and digital experiences, such as Minecraft workshops and creating time capsules with messages for the future.

The program is designed as a constantly evolving experience, with creative and educational workshops, tote bag, mug and face painting, as well as various interactive activities that allow visitors to take home lasting memories. Throughout the event, the idea of community and growth is present, as “AVA Through Time” is not just a theme, but a reflection of all the moments that have shaped this space.

In addition, visitors can enjoy special anniversary benefits and store discounts, further establishing AVA Shopping Park as a destination where shopping and entertainment naturally come together.

We invite you to join us and be part of the celebration, because AVA is not just a place, but a time we create together.
