We had a Blast!!
I've been to this Ikea location many times over the years. What I like about Ikea, in general, is that they had a great selection of low, mid and high-range items that suit almost anyone's budget. This review is about our first Post-Pandemic visit around Easter/Passover earlier this year. I have been back to Ikea since but this visit was the most we have had at the location.
We were there around Easter/Passover and looking for an extra storage bin for the kid's playroom as they still had tonnes of Holiday gifts that we had no place to store them. When we got there we were informed that there was what is best described as a "treat hunt'. There were many locations around the store marked with rabbit footprints and the idea was to find all the locations and take a picture of the stuffed rabbits on display to confirm you found the location.
This adventure took us all over the store so we got to see so many things that I wouldn't be normally looking for and it was a great way to see newer offerings at the store. My Daughter who will be a teenager in a few years has already picked out her next bedroom set. We also got to see the living room, dining room, kitchen items and many storage items for kids.
The staff was amazing and they helped my kids find some of the locations as this IKEA like many others is a massive place and we did find ourselves at times going in circles. We managed to find all of the 'Treat Hunt' locations and both of my kids received an Ikea Chocolate bar for their efforts.
After all that running around, we needed some grub, so we headed to the IKEA cafe located on the second floor. The menu at Ikea is simple, to make your choices easy, and now they have vegetarian and Vegan options. I'm a Foodie and as a Foodie we like to explore different types of food, and tend to like Animal Protein but also enjoy plant-based and vegetarian cuisines as well. On this visit, we got meatballs and Vegan meatballs. The kids got the Ikea kids meal which comes with your choice of protein, a side, apple slices and a drink. I got the Vegan Meatballs for myself which were actually, very good.
We finally go the 'Trofast' Storage unit we were looking for, however, they were out of the bin colours we were looking for and had to settle for what was available. After a three-hour visit, I was not going to go home empty-handed. We had a blast during this visit and we will be back for more fun and meatballs.
