The island boasts an impressive recreation of the IKEA car park, the store’s kitchen showrooms, the sofa department, and even the much-loved food court. Don't worry, they did include the famous meatballs. Once you’ve explored what IKEA island has to offer, you can even pick up your items in the store’s basement.
