The Marvel activity station runs from 21 to 25 September, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day, on Level 1 near Telstra. A different character-inspired activity is scheduled for every weekday. 

Five days, five activities

Monday begins with Spider-Man cookie decorating before the craft table switches to Iron Man masks on Tuesday.

Marvel superhero cookie decorating follows on Wednesday, while Thursday belongs to Captain America masks. Spider-Man cookie decorating returns on Friday to close the five-day program.

The sessions are free and are part of Westfield Mt Gravatt’s wider school holiday program, which also includes cinema releases and other family activities around the centre.

A weekday holiday option

Unlike some of the Marvel activities running at other Westfield centres, the Mt Gravatt program is concentrated into the working week.

Families can attend during any of the four-hour sessions without having to follow the full program, with the activity changing from day to day.

Westfield describes the station as suitable for young Marvel fans and families looking for hands-on school holiday activities.
