Could you be anymore negative! On the positive side, why not take your kids and have them entertained, meet and work with other children, enjoy themselves. You make this out to be bad thing. Every parent takes a proactive role in their childs devolpment, however kids love this sort of thing and to me there is nothing wrong with taking a short break and letting children, be children. Nobody is forcing you to buy, you can window shop or have a cheap meal. Take them on a Friday and get fish and chips for a pound as well.

Most of the people are interested in free things which IKEA does..but still people are voting cold..really don't know the reason..

How about looking after your own kids and keep them entertained rather than fall for a ploy to get people in the store to spend money while their kids sit gormless looking at Clown Clive or whatever.
What about people actually engaging with their children and take a pro-active role in their child's development rather than having IKEA doing it for you while you shop, shop, shop.
That said if there is any free jelly and ice cream I'm there.

Just push your kids through the IKEA store front doors then go back six weeks later when they'll eventually start to find the store exit.
