Small Smurfs, big goals at Sunway Carnival Mall
STEP into a world of blue magic as Sunway Carnival Mall transforms into a whimsical Smurfs Village, where the beloved characters guide visitors on a playful yet purposeful journey toward caring for the planet.
This immersive experience blends the endearing charm of the Smurfs seamlessly with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), inviting shoppers to learn, play and take action in an engaging way.
A hub for sustainability
The adventure begins the moment shoppers step into the Smurfs Village, welcomed by the striking Globe Arch, a vibrant display in shades of blue and green where all 17 SDGs are shown.
Just beyond lies the centrepiece of the village, the iconic Mushroom House, designed to resemble a cosy Smurfs home.
Built from recycled and eco-friendly materials, it reflects SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
The structure features sustainable construction elements such as honeycomb boards and other recyclable components, turning imaginative play into a meaningful environmental statement.
As shoppers explore further, they'll discover a variety of interactive zones designed to educate and inspire.
At the Water Wisdom Hall, visitors can try fun challenges that highlight the importance of saving water.
Breathe in the fresh scents of herbs and spices in the Herbal Haven, a showcase that highlights their natural benefits and sustainable uses, while showing how they are transformed into everyday products.
Nearby, the Eco Puzzle Wall, aligned with SDG 13 (Climate Action), invites shoppers to complete a magnetic Earth-themed mural that reveals the effects of climate change and the urgent need for action piece by piece.
Visitors can explore environmental and sustainability themes in a tactile way through the wall puzzle.
Meanwhile, climb and play at the Eco Play Gym and Camp Zone, where physical activity is combined with eco-awareness.
Featuring wooden play equipment and natural elements, this area encourages kids to connect with nature through fun and movement.
These experiences reflect the mall's belief that 'change starts with simple acts' and echoes the Smurfs' global campaign, 'Small Smurfs, Big Goals,' which empowers individuals to make meaningful contributions to a better world, one small step at a time.
Chai Wen Yew, Sunway Carnival Mall senior general manager, shares, 'We hope to inspire people of all ages to become sustainability advocates, because whether big or small, every action counts.'
From play to purpose
Beyond the Smurfs Village, Sunway Carnival Mall continues to drive environmental impact through its From Waste to Wonder initiative, which supports SDG 15 (Life on Land).
With a strong focus on waste reduction and environmental stewardship, the mall has successfully reduced landfill waste by 40%, proving that collective responsibility leads to real, measurable change.
At the heart of this initiative is a food waste composting programme in partnership with K-Green.
All food and beverage tenants participate by contributing food waste, which is converted into nutrient-rich compost that is then distributed to shoppers and nearby communities, enriching green spaces and encouraging a continuous cycle of care.
Over at the Power Up Together Station, located on the First Floor of the New Wing near Haidilao Hotpot, shoppers can pedal stationary bikes to generate electricity for charging mobile devices—a fun, hands-on way to learn about energy conservation while promoting mindfulness, healthy living and family bonding.
This fun and educational activity promotes energy mindfulness, healthy lifestyles and family bonding.
The mall's commitment to sustainability also extends to innovative recycling and water conservation efforts:
> Through the CAREton Project, in collaboration with MBSP and Tetra Pak, used beverage cartons are recycled into roof tiles and panel boards that are donated to Orang Asli homes, NGOs and community projects, turning waste into lasting social impact.
> Rainwater is harvested from the mall's rooftops and repurposed for cleaning and landscaping, reducing reliance on potable water and preserving valuable resources.
With Smurfs as cheerful ambassadors, this is one family day out where you'll leave with more than just memories and photos–you'll take home fresh ideas for making small changes that add up to a greener future.
Shoppers can try their hand at blending scents to create a personalised fragrance during the workshop.
