Ice Cream ATM

Overview

Earlier this year, we had a cupcake ATM. Now, just in time for the warm weather, we're getting an ice cream ATM. Yup, it's a dispensary filled with ice cream instead of money.

It's part of Campbelltown's pop-up Macarthur Beach Club, which is bringing a bit of sand and sun to Macarthur Square Shopping Centre from September 29 to October 14.

The ATM is courtesy of The Scoop Gelato, who is dolling it out for free. In order to access the goods inside the machine, visitors will have to first nab a 'credit card' — 150 will be hidden inside the sandpit every Saturday and Sunday of the pop-up, and another 30 will be given away on weekdays from noon–1pm.

Apart from the sandpit and free (though gimmicky) ice cream ATM, there'll be a ball-pit to jump in, a giant carnival-esque deck chair to lounge in, board games to play and a sand castle competition. The first 100 people through the door on opening day will also nab a free beach towel, and local food vendors and DJs are on the docket, too.

The Ice Cream ATM is open from 12–1pm weekdays and 11am–3pm on weekends.
