If you’re feeling peckish after, you can grab a drink and a bite to eat from one of its vendors like Dirty Bones’ NYC-inspired burgers or just go straight in for dessert at Creams Café.

Upside Down House

Get ready to turn your world topsy-turvy at the Upside Down House, Liverpool ONE’s fantastic interactive photo attraction in Thomas Steers Way.

It’s the only one in the North West – and only at Liverpool can people wandering around this whacky illusional experience immerse themselves in the clouds of Candy Land and play a retro Pac-Man arcade game, upside down!

Kids Eat Free… Or less!

If you fancy treating yourself and the kids to a half term feast, you’ll not be disappointed with these two situated in Paradise Street for a reason – because you’ll be in food heaven!

For the Real Greek, think authentic Greek food with mezes like moussaka and meatballs, sides and salads, and the tastiest souvlaki wraps, as well as delicious desserts like Baklava and Greek Filo Custard Pie.

At Smoke & Dough you can bet on the best BBQ favourites ready to grill at your table on your own lava coal pit – there’s also a kids’ menu at £7.99 with all their favourites like Mac N Cheese and Chicken Nuggets in a cute Banto Box.

The Winter Nature Trail 

Grab a Nature Trail booklet from the information centre and get close to nature in the heart of the city, with this self-guided tour that’s perfect for kids from four to 11.  It’s a chance to wrap up warm and explore Chavasse Park while hunting for wintry wonders along the way.

Heritage Trail Character Tours

Plenty of toy shops

Whether you’re buying or browsing, we all love looking around the toy shops – and you’re spoilt for choice around Liverpool ONE.

Find a furry friend at the Build-A-Bear Workshop, or head to The Entertainer which has almost everything under the sun a kid could want from dolls, action figures, board games, jigsaws, craft sets, musical toys, electronic games, and more, as well as all the top names like LEGO, Disney, Paw Patrol, Marvel, DC Comics, Dreamworks Dragons… the list goes on.

Say hello to Paddington Bear

You can’t leave Liverpool ONE without saying hello to its very special visitor, a certain Mr Paddington Bear! You’ll find your favourite marmalade-loving bear from Peru on a bench on College Lane, near Waterstones.

Just don’t ask for a bite of his butty, because he might well suggest you get your own, but we think he’ll happily pose for a lovely piccie!!
