Harves and X+Living plan to open several more of the experiential destinations in China, allowing families and lovers of design to experience the globally recognized brand in a new, immersive way, and while also bringing the characters to life in a growing region for the brand.

“We are thrilled to open the doors so families can enjoy this very special place,” said Francis Person, CEO of Harves Global Entertainment. “Our creative teams focused on interpreting the magic the Care Bears have offered to families for nearly 40 years. We wanted to create a completely new way to experience the brand. Kalidico fits into the Harves mission of bringing global experiences to the next generation in immersive and exciting ways designed to increase connection.”

“We’re excited to introduce this new Care Bears-themed experience to fans of all ages in Shanghai,” said President of Cloudco Entertainment, Sean Gorman. “The Care Bears represent values that are needed more than ever today. Kalidico brings these values to life and offers a beautifully designed experience where fans can enjoy meaningful time together and have fun.”
