GARDEN City Shopping Centre will transform into a bustling underwater metropolis these school holidays, partnering with the WA Museum to shine a light on some of the oceans’ many secrets.

A 20m inflatable octopus will take up residence for two weeks, the centrepiece of a marine life-themed exhibition that aims to drive home the importance of conservation.

Children can take part in a quest around the centre to learn about the ocean and enter a draw to win family passes to the Voyage to the Deep exhibition at the WA Maritime Museum.

As kids dive deeper, they will adventure through a life-sized sea-inspired snakes and ladders game.
