Hudson’s Bay’s seventh floor has been transformed into an Instagram haven, with eight vibrant, playful installations (including a giant ball pit) to help cure the winter blues. The store’s visual department team transformed the space in just 10 days, and it will be open until the end of the season. Here’s a look inside.

This is the view when you walk out of the elevator:
