Create your own monster mask, get squad-ready with some out-of-this-world face painting and win over Monty Mayhem by tossing him training treats in our Feed the Monster game. Keep the monsters in line and you'll earn a Monster-ous Treat to take away!
The adventure doesn't end there! Before or after joining the crew, set off on the Trafford Palazzo Planet Trail

Once you've completed your space mission, report back to the Customer Service Desk to collect your space sweets!
