If your child is a serious Shopkins aficionado, the lines have probably blurred for you one one season to the next. (Which one are we on now?) But good news: The manufacturer of all things miniature is opening an adorable pop-up experience in New York City to launch season 8—and get your kids worked up for all the tiny new additions to their current collections.

The new season’s theme, World Vacation, celebrates Europe, with new Shopkins and Shoppies characters inspired by France, Italy, Germany, the U.K., and more.
First stop: Paris. While the Shopkins world is micro, this actual-sized cafe will offer everything uber-fans will love. The Parisian-themed pop-up shop in New York City is modeled after one of the newest playsets, the Oh La La Macaron Café. Dig into macarons, receive a Shopkins manicure, and walk away with exclusive swag—all of which is FREE—as well as getting a look at Macy Macaroon, the newest Shoppie to join the family alongside friends like Jessicake, Bubbleisha, and Peppa-Min. You won't be able to purchase anything here, but the new characters are expected to be on sale at retailers by June 4.
The café opens to the public on June 17 at 35 North Moore St. in Tribeca Although a visit is FREE, fans should visit shopkinscafe.com on June 1 (at 8pm EST) to reserve one-hour spots before they disappear. And if you're in full Shopkins mode, check out the the live-action musical heading to a suburb near you this fall.
