There was also an 'aquarium' station where guests could make their own fishbowl, sand art and make your own slime.
It didn't end there, each guest could also paint their own Octonauts canvas, and the elaborate dessert station featured Octonaut cupcakes, cake pops, dessert jars and sea biscuits.
As well as a snow cone maker and a cotton candy machine, as you do.

"This is incredible. I can just tell how loved your sweet boy is," said a third.
