Pakuranga Shoppers Car Park

This has always been a very lovely and convenient mall for people living in this area. I am actually a bit shocked to see a lot of the shops inside are empty. Even farmers is closed.

It's that time of year! It was jam packed with people today. The decor was out, there were Santa's Helpers walking about blowing bubbles and giving stickers. The kids playpen was empties of the toys and replace with Christmas activities. The Santa workshop was operating to take photos with him and a wall dedicated to Christmas was up for all your Insta Selfie needs. The line for the two Balloon Stations we're packed too. Amazing vibe here.

It is a very small mall, with not a lot of store choices, but the play zone area for kids is very good! It is in the food court area, just in the middle, with free fruit for kids and free wipes. And they held arts and crafts activities every Tuesday and some other kids events. Free wifi

It was noted to have received a relatively high rating even though struggling with major competition from Botany Town Centre and Sylvia Park.nnOn December 10, 2012 the mall was sold to Ladstone Holdings Ltd and was renamed Pakuranga Plaza. The mall was resold in October 2014 to GYP Properties.nnAs additional feature, busway and bus station also in the shopping center, as an intermediate stop on the Eastern Busway.

The underground market was just as good as it was years ago. Food excellent too.
