A father and his toddler son hid inside a shopping centre so they could have a children's fun fair to themselves after the mall had closed for the day.

The pair were spotted on CCTV cameras enjoying the ball pool, slide, kids' rides and dodgem cars at the shopping centre in the Siberian city of Barnaul in south-western Russia's Altai Krai region.

Multiple night vision security cameras tracked the father and son's adventure through the fun fair as they realised their dream of having the attraction to themselves.

It is believed the pair hid in a creche at the shopping centre until all of the staff had locked up and gone home.

As soon as the mall closed for the night, they made their way into the fun fair area to begin their adventure, with the dad using the flashlight feature on his smartphone to see in the dark.

Hand in hand, they are seen walking through the mall before leaping into the ball pool and sampling the giant slide.

They even took a spin on the dodgem cars while the father watched his son enjoy a ride on a children's ride as lights flashed in the empty fun fair.

It is not reported whether police are investigating the incident but it is not believed the pair caused any damage before leaving the shopping centre.
